What is the point that you're trying to convey by relexing "old man screaming at the sky" to use emojis?
If the point is that "they could be used to convey meaning": I've already addressed it. Usually, they aren't. (If the point is something else, please clarify.)
If that was my point, it would be a great answer.
However my point is not against the usage of emojis to convey linguistic meaning, like that. (It's a bit pointless, but at least you're saying something through the emojis.)
That overuse feels a lot like a fourth category. It's almost meta-, as if using emojis to parody emoji usage!
I'm not sure if it's usage for echo or as mood particles makes me roll my eyes the most. Perhaps echo, too.
More like "ability to remember vocab from uni times" (My second grad included Linguistics, although I don't work on the field nowadays.)
