My general metric:

Hahaha = gen x

Lol = older millenial

Lmao = younger millenial

💀 = Gen z

I am a xennial as well and that was dangerously close to using lol as punctuation which will lose you that sweet xennial cred.

Seriously though I’m happy to be from this microgeneration. Analog childhood/digital adulthood makes for cool people.
