MILLENNIAL (BORN 1981-1996)

Millennials never use kisses. It’s passively needy, and this generation wears its neediness on its sleeve.

Emoji usage falls off sharply in this age group too because – again – they don’t need your digital approval, thanks anyway. If you don’t understand that their message was light-hearted (without the inclusion of a laughing face) then that’s your problem.

They’ll use punctuation and capital letters (particularly when dealing with Gen X and Boomers) and they won’t shy away from a full stop when they’re done with you.

The broader point, of course, is that millennials don’t really use text. For them, it’s pretty much always been around so feels old (and expensive). See you on WhatsApp, if you must, but can’t we just move it all over to Instagram and say it with pictures?
