BABY BOOMER (BORN 1946-1964)

Boomers are fully invested in text speak. So if the message is peppered with ‘Gr8’s, ‘H8’s or ‘B4’s then you’re likely to be looking at a sender in their late 50s or older. Similarly, they will have adopted text abbreviations, so a preponderance of FYIs, IDKs, LOLs or IMOs is indicative of a Boomer sender.

Excessive emoji use is also possible although – and this is crucial – it will be in addition to rather than instead of text and will be there because the smartphone inserted it automatically. Given that the emoji has come as a surprise, it will generally require comment in a second message:
