    That emoji is pretty versatile, from what I’ve seen it can resemble feeling melancholy, dead inside, exhausted, or a sarcastic “I’m fine”. But as with most emoji’s, it’s all about context clues to fully understand why it was chosen.

    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…

    It is specifically for referencing the flower in Beauty and the Beast. All other uses are illegal.

        As opposed to the superior wheataku.

    I thought it was analogous to the DSA’s use of the rose as a general socialist symbol. The wilting is poignant in that context.
