For a majority of young people in the 21st century, Emojis have become a stable in everyday communication. The first massive spike in popularity they experienced, arguably came in the late 90s, with mobile phones becoming more and more everyday objects, even for the youth.

Back then, the main form of communication for young people were SMS, short and heavily character limited messages. It was quickly realized that a handy, easy, yet accurate way of communicating feelings/emotions was necessary – and the Smileys that were once drawn on paper had entered the digital age.

Since then, they have never stopped growing in both popularity and variety and as of 2020, there are seemingly countless Emojis and Smileys for almost any possible feeling out there.
