3. The Wall of Sound

Phil Collins may have pioneered the “Wall of Sound” technique for producing hit records, but the sky is the limit for the champion of the “Walls of Emoji”. This technique is done by replacing every character in your text message that isn’t a word with an emoji for both emphasis and aesthetic purposes. Notice how even the text in the next message looks like a ghost. The possibilities for creative juxtaposition are endless.

2. X Eyes Face

The X Eyes face is a great emoji. It can single handedly express and communicate volumes about the human condition. X Eyes is most commonly used in a response to tragic news, with the sender expressing their utter loss of hope in humanity.

1. The Almighty ¯\_(?)_/¯

Now, this thing technically isn’t an emoji, but I always have this stored on a note ready to copy paste and fire off at any time of the day, if you know what I mean. If you don’t know what I mean, I have nothing to say besides ¯\_(?)_/¯.

I promise that if you just spend some more time with the Magical Shrug Emoticon you will have an existential moment of zen with your iPhone and realize Magical Shrug Emoticon can be used in response to literally anything and everything.

If people used Magical Shrug Emoticon more in their daily life I honestly believe we’d have less wars. It communicates complete and utter understanding better than any string of words (or even emojis) could achieve…
