Genmoji are coming: https://9to5mac.com/2024/06/10/theres-an-emoji-for-that-meet-genmoji/
This will obviously resolve based on vibes, TBD how exactly (I'm a Millenial myself).
Potential criteria for NO:
I receive a Genmoji as part of an organic chat conversation from three distinct Gen Z members until the end of 2025. (This could be tricky, since I know roughly 2 Gen Z members and I only use iMessage with one of them.)
Genmoji start being used on TikTok unironically. (This could also be tricky; I'm not really on there.)
Potential criteria for YES:
Highly significant study results (has to be presented in a peer-reviewed article published by a major sociological journal)
#genmoji starts trending in a generally cringey/ironic neighborhood of semantic space on TikTok (I'll definitely not be doing the analysis myself; again, I'm not there.)
Compelling argument in the comments by verified or at least plausible Gen Z members. If you pose as Gen Z, I will be very disappointed.
Out of scope:
Meta AI stickers, Dall-E etc. – it has to be actual factual Genmoji.
Resolves as N/A if they'll be largely regarded as Millenial or Gen X cringe (feel free to open a parallel market!), or if either no or every generational cohort ends up using them equally.
