What does the Skull 💀 emoji mean?
The Skull emoji 💀 depicts a white human skull with large black eye sockets. On Gen Z social media it has mostly replaced 😂 to mean "I am dying of laughter" — as in "💀 that caption" or "I'm dead 💀." It can also signal genuine dark humor, death references, Halloween content, or being metaphorically exhausted ("this week killed me").
