Contrary to popular belief

When something is contrary to popular belief, that signifies that it does not follow the opinion of the public. Usually used when trying to imply that the opinion of someone else is incorrect.
Contrary to popular belief, I actually did not get a 75% on the test, I got a 94%.

Hym "And she's right. The 'Lur' is the most important part- er, 'Lar' I liked it. Obviously talking about her rendition of Popular from Wicked. It was good."

Our Most Popular Definitions

Multiple users have, in attempts to be funny and partake in the odd bit of tomfoolery, created definitions for these words. Most notably, a user in 2023 affirmed that the most searched word is "emo", and I can tell you with certainty that this is wrong. It is in fact "key beard", which is definitely not some kind of inside joke in which I may or may not be an actor.
In more seriousness, the most popular definition is probably something like "gay" or "retarded", or maybe even "rizz", "locked in", or "low taper fade" (if only our past selves could see this...)

Popularity

Here Jordan Peterson is doing what he always does and conflating popularity with mental health.
Hym "It 'rings true' but it isn't actually true. What he's describing there is popularity Joe. His literally convincing the popular kid that his popularity is ordained by God. That mental health IS that popularity. 'If you were mentally health you would be getting whatever you want out of life!' He's completely full of shit."

Laughing Emoji (Popular Consensus)

Although the laughing emoji normality has changed through the years due to the constant use of TikTok and other platforms, we can look at some of the normal ones that have been used the most.

Some of those include the following:

2010-2020 Laughing Emoji 😂 (Also notably the word of the year in 2015 by Oxford)

2020-2021~2023 Skull Emoji 💀 (Still commonly used, but not as popular and seen as cringe by today's standards)

2021-2021 Chair Emoji 🪑 (Started as an inside joke but never caught on)

2023-2024 Sobbing Emoji (Loudly Crying Emoji) 😭 (Still used in tandem with today's laughing emojis)

2024-Present Wilting Flower Emoji + Empty Battery Emoji 🥀🪫 (Used to signify more depression than humor)

With this list, we can also observe the slight decline through the years that Gen Z has been putting in affect as the "new normal". Ever since the crying emoji in 2023, Gen Z had started basing more of their humor off of darker jokes. This can also be observed with the wilting flower and empty battery emojis as they signify weakness or sadness. One popular way it's used is as acceptance. Memes that include horrible scenarios with no way of the reader/speaker getting out is another popular scenario. Although I'm not trying to make my generation's dumb memes sound sophisticated in any way shape or form, it is interesting to see how the laughing emoji norm has changed over the years and the new humor that develops alongside it.

No... He's popular because I deconstructed your fanbase and it makes your "Movement" SUPER easy to manipulate and I told him what to say YEARS before he started saying it... And then he sold access to the money generator I created (in abstraction).
