it’s just another intonation marker, a hedging particle, or a pragmatic tone indicator.
it signals the sentence is for comradery, but not immediate action
lol
Technically a xennial, but yeah it’s a necessity lol
My speech is really blunt so I feel like every other thing I write would otherwise be misinterpreted as some personal attack lol
(Now reread it without the lols)
Sometimes I do exclamation points instead of lols!
I’m a Xennial and I have hated the LOL shit right from the start. Actually aside from the basic abbreviations from IRC, I tend to avoid acronyms entirely and prefer properly typed messages. Anyone sending “lol” with every message won’t see a lot of responses from me.

Lol, just add it to the beginning, jk lol.
Unrelatable lmao
Narrator: “They did not actually ltao”
Get bent lol
It’s not that hard lol
I’ll see you a “haha”
Yeah, I never became a lol’er, dunno whether or of spite or what, but haha was my go-to response for someone said something that I’m supposed to express some reaction of humor to. Heh sometimes. Ha has a different feel to it.
Ha!
Yea, heh
I’m gen z , lol
I’m not even sure I’m genz, im kinda at the edge but sure I’m a genz too lol and I cnt stop using lol, lol
edit: by edge, I mean on the younger side btw
Do the gen alpha peeps use it too?
It has to become cringe at some point since their parents probably use it lol
I don’t think gen alpha uses it lol
I actually used to hate it back in the day because it was so overused but then when I hit the Skype era, I succumbed to my friends and started spamming it along with lmao because it was easy to type on a keyboard with zero effort.
Also that one evolution extinction meme of all the dead ones like rofl and roflmao.
Rest in Spaghetti Never Forgetti lol
lol
What is the Gen Z approved way to express emotion?
💀
thanks 💀 lol
😭
I know I overuse lol. I hate it. Lol
lol, fuck that
You did it wrong lol
lol
rofl
For me and the ppl I chatted/texted with was it mostly smiles like: xD xP XD xd x3 and the laughing was haha, hahahahaha, HAHAHA, sometimes lol and rofl but most of the times were lol used as a way to say “that was weird” or “that is stupid”, could also be a question “is it supposed to be funny?” Or a statement about what you said or will say “I am silly” so ppl would know they can find it funny/it is ok to laugh.
I rarely used lol for actually laughing, it was more used as “that/this is silly”. I think the younger millenniums said lol and rofl instead of smilies more often but I am unsure about that one.
Lol. Roflmao even.
