一个到位的表情包能顶千言万语。“笑哭”脸绝对是表情包中的佼佼者。然而被用烂了的“笑哭”脸终于走上了下坡路。
它甚至打败众多流行语,当选《牛津词典》2015年度词汇。
然而,随着社交网络的发展,表情符号的用法和意思也发生了很大的变化,那些曾经流行的表情,如今已经是out的象征……

▌对不起了,千禧之子们,“笑哭”表情包过时了
她说:“如果你多年来用同样的方式表达笑意,它会逐渐显得不真诚。……这种夸张的符号已经被用烂了。”这就是为什么Z世代试图找寻新鲜的替代品,通过不一样的方式发出笑的信号。
'If you indicate digital laughter for years and years in the same way, it starts to feel insincere. ... The hyperbole gets worn out through continued use,' she said. That's why Gen Zers may be looking to fresh and novel ways to signal they're laughing through different ways.
2019年初,皮尤研究中心首次定义了Z世代的出生年月。以下这些就是各代目前的最新定义:
Z世代(Gen Z):出生于1997年-2012年(9-24岁)
千禧一代(Gen Y, or Millennials):出生于1981-1996年(25-40岁)
一名用户在一则TikTok评论中问道:“‘笑哭’表情符号有啥问题?”另一名用户回复说:“过时到不行了。” 'What's wrong with the laughing emoji?,' one user asked in a TikTok comment. Another responded: 'it's so off.'
21岁的瓦利德·穆罕默德对记者说:“我什么表情都用,除了‘笑哭’。很久以前我就不再用这个表情了,因为我看到都是年纪更大的人在用,比如我妈妈、哥哥姐姐以及其他上了年纪的人。” 'I use everything but the laughing emoji,' 21-year-old Walid Mohammed told CNN Business. 'I stopped using it a while back because I saw older people using it, like my mom, my older siblings and just older people in general.'
安息吧,“笑哭”表情包
17岁的泽维尔·马丁则表示,“笑哭”表情符号“很乏味”,并称同龄人使用它的并不多。21岁的斯泰茜·蒂鲁更喜欢真正的“哭泣”表情符号,因为它表现出一种更极端的情感,更富有戏剧性。
Seventeen-year-old Xavier Martin called the 😂 emoji 'bland' and said 'not too many people' his age use it. Stacy Thiru, 21, prefers the real cryng emoji because it shows a more extreme emotion and feels more dramatic.
“The English language cannot fully capture the depth and complexity of my thoughts, so I’m incorporating emoji into my speech to better express myself. Winky face.”
