If you're going to end your sentences with "lol" you don't also need to say that you're Gen Z. One or the other will do. 😏

I agree your original point stands, regardless of the timescales involved.

The invention of the smart phone did make international travel less intimidating, even if some of the functions took a while to appear.

    I am pretty sure we lol-ed a lot already before the majority of Gen-Z was even born...

    Yes, but we didn't integrate it into our sentences lol

    Someone made a joke and we answered "lol"

    I first encountered and used it in the online forums during the late 90's and early 00s.
    Has been part of sentences back then and I still use it like that.

    "lol" primarily as standalone reply sounds like something from an later messenger-centric era.
    Are you a Millenial by any chance?
