God, I'm so disconnected with current millennial trends, I had to lookup what those stickers were.

I'm a millennial and haven't heard of them until now.

Everyone likes to keep coming up with new names for the word "emote".

I'm actually a millennial too, I just don't give a damn about all these new apps that are reinventing irc for the tap/swipe people.
I have to admit, Slack and Discord are much nicer to use than IRC - even something like IRCCloud (and I'm a relatively happy paying customer of IRCCloud).
It's probably due to location. LINE is absolutely dominant in Japan, Taiwan, Thailand and a few other Asian markets. None of my friends in America use it really. Facebook messenger is clearly watching LINE closely though.
