    In gen z, I see it mostly used as an ironic “this is sad”. It’s like how 😭 is used as a laughing emoji.

    example:

    “this guy really thinks that was tuff (cool) 🥀”

      What? Why would anyone use a crying emoji as a laughing emoji when there are so many different laughing emojis to choose from? I’m starting to feel old…

        “BRUH WHAT THE HELL WHY IS BRO COOKED 😭😭😭”

        example

        for me, it’s because the laugh emojis are like… ‘old person’ emojis.
