    Became entangled with the 'touch grass' meme ecosystem during peak COVID lockdown internet culture, acquiring a strong ironic secondary meaning.

  4. 2026

    Dual-use: sincerely embraced by cottagecore, forestcore, and sustainability communities while simultaneously remaining a flagship emoji of the 'touch grass' ironic internet culture.
