You didn’t ask for it, but we did it anyway. Music emojis ranked, part one: A thread #2020
(10/10) 
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💽" title="Minidisc" aria-label="Emoji: Minidisc"> The one that looks a bit like the Yeezus album cover. After 10 years of app updates, this guy never backs down. Credit where it& #39;s due, right?
(9/10) https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🎤" title="Mikrofon" aria-label="Emoji: Mikrofon"> This one’s an all-rounder. The one to use whether you’re planning a karaoke night, are about to take a long shower or have just dropped a killer line in an argument.
(8/10) https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🎸" title="Gitarre" aria-label="Emoji: Gitarre"> Stick with us on this one, while the electric guitar is an icon in its own right, our lives won’t be totally complete until there’s an air guitar emoji. In the meantime, this will have to do.
(7/10) https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🎺" title="Trompete" aria-label="Emoji: Trompete"> We’re all about being your own cheerleader and so is the trumpet emoji. Toot your own horn and then some. The precursor to any announcement, big or small, this one’s a no brainer.
(6/10) https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🎻" title="Violine" aria-label="Emoji: Violine"> An emoji speaks a thousand words, and this one tugs on all of the heart strings. Pun intended. Quite literally the world’s smallest violin, it’s one to use on your melancholic friend to disrupt their ‘woe is me’ monologue. You’re welcome.
Part 2 dropping soon https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👀" title="Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Augen">
(5/10) https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🎷" title="Saxophon" aria-label="Emoji: Saxophon"> Let& #39;s admit it, the saxophone part of a song is the best part of a song. It’s pure elation. The same thing applies for the emoji. Lisa Simpson was onto something back in the day. This would defo be in her top 5.
(4/10) https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👨🎤" title="Man singer" aria-label="Emoji: Man singer"> Although eye-catching, having to pretend we don’t notice this is a blatant rip-off of David Bowie makes it too emotionally straining to use. We want to use it, we just can’t.
(3/10) https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🎹" title="Musik-Tastatur" aria-label="Emoji: Musik-Tastatur"> An extremely underrated member of the bunch. This one reminds us of that scene in the movie Big where Tom Hanks dances on a giant novelty keyboard. Remember? He’s wearing Nike Air Force 2s and he plays Chopsticks with his feet. Unreal.
(2/10) https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🎛" title="Drehknöpfe" aria-label="Emoji: Drehknöpfe"> Wildly underrated, the control knob represents everything we love about modern music. If only it wasn& #39;t let down massively by the fact it looks more like a stove top.
(1/10) https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥁" title="Drum" aria-label="Emoji: Drum"> Despite its musical intention, the drum emoji has widely been adopted as the emoji to use when someone texts you a dad-joke. The fact you can hear it when you see it makes it number one.
