Emoji Etiquette: Gen Z's Top 10 Most Hated Emojis

Feeling the Burn?

Ever sent a thumbs-up emoji and felt like you'd just thrown a cold shoulder? It turns out, younger generations are over it. According to a new survey, the thumbs-up emoji is the number one most-hated emoji among British Gen Zs.

The study, conducted by Perspectus Global via Yahoo!, asked 2,000 people aged 16 to 29 to share their thoughts on various emojis. The results painted a clear picture: some emojis are simply not cool anymore.

Why is the thumbs-up so unpopular?

 * Passive-aggressive vibes: Gen Zs see the thumbs-up as a dismissive and low-effort response.

 * Lack of enthusiasm: It's like saying "K" or ending a sentence with a period.

 * Uninspired design: The emoji's simple visual doesn't convey the same level of emotion as other options.

Other emojis that have fallen out of favor include:

 * The eggplant emoji (????)

 * The peach emoji (????)

 * The winking face emoji (????)

 * The thinking face emoji (????)

So, next time you're texting, think twice before hitting that thumbs-up button. You might just be making yourself seem older than you are.
