I don't know where I read it, but apparently older people use emojis to feel 'with it' and cool, whereas the younger crowd barely use them. (I could be wrong, and I have no source, so don't quote me on this). Also emojis are yet another data point to do things like sentiment analysis, and have been weaponized by social media companies to target more relevant ADs at you. Tweeted/X'd the beer emoji? Get ready for Heineken ADs. |

As far as I can tell the emojis thing is (has been) mostly a millenials thing, the zoomers are mostly on the side of AAVE-speak and such related jargon (the famous fr fr, for example, even actively avoiding capitalisation is now seen as a thing).
So, yeah, I'd say that the emojis have passed the peak of cool relevancy, hence why they're discussed on this quite boring forum by definitely not cool men in their late 20s and 30s (I'm a definitely not cool man in my early 40s myself).
