10 Years of Loooooooon 🙌

Ten years. A whole decade. That’s 3,652 days (plus a couple leap year extras), 87,648 hours, and an uncountable number of laughs, lessons, and late-night messages filled with emojis, inside jokes, and that one word we can’t stop dragging out—Loooooooon 🙌.

What started as a whisper, a joke, maybe even a typo, evolved into a whole vibe, a lifestyle, a feeling. “Loooooooon” became our anthem—a sound that means everything and nothing at once. It could mean “I’m tired,” “I’m hyped,” “I’m here,” or “I miss you.” It’s the word that held our friendship, our chaos, and our growth over the last ten years.

The Origin of the Loooooooon

Rewind to Year 1: someone said “Loon,” maybe as a joke, maybe as a weird sound effect—and someone else dragged the ‘o’ just a little bit longer, then a little bit more. “Loon” became “Looooooon,” then “Looooooooon,” and eventually “Looooooooooon 🙌” because why not throw in some celebratory hands?

No one questioned it. That’s the beauty of it. In a world where everyone needs to explain everything, we just felt it. It was random. It was weird. It was ours.

From Random to Ritual

Looooooon became the punctuation of our digital lives. Got good news? “Loooooooon 🙌”
Bad day? “Looooooon 😩”
Late-night rants, spontaneous karaoke, or awkward life updates? Just throw in a Looooooon, and the vibe was set.

We didn’t realize we were building something. But little by little, our shared moments wrapped themselves in this word. It wasn’t just a meme. It was memory. And it followed us through heartbreaks, job switches, travel adventures, and quiet, comforting Sundays.

The Squad Who Loooooooned

Of course, none of this would have lasted without the legendary crew behind it. Each person brought something different to the table:

• The Initiator – always the first to shout “Looooooon” in a crowded room or drop it in a silent group chat.
• The Hype Maker – would take the word and turn it into a full-blown chant.
• The Silent Looner – might not say much, but always reacted with that 🙌
• The Meme Lord – turned “Looooooon” into stickers, memes, videos, GIFs, even a fake album cover.

Ten years in, and we’re still finding new ways to spell it, say it, and scream it. That’s creativity. That’s commitment.

A Decade of Change

In ten years, everything changed. We moved cities. We grew older. Some of us became parents, others became bosses, travelers, creators. But through it all, there was always that thread of connection, the echo of “Looooooon 🙌” reminding us: no matter where life took us, we still carried that same goofy, joyful spirit.

There were rough patches too. Times when we lost touch. Times when life got too heavy, too busy, too real. But somehow, someone always revived the chat with a single message:

“Looooooooooooon?”

And like magic, the replies rolled in. 🙌🙌🙌
No context needed. Just love.

Moments That Defined Us

Looking back, it’s hard to pick just a few moments, but here are some unforgettable ones:

• The Great Group Trip of 2018 – One cabin, zero sleep, and endless “Looooooons” echoing into the mountains.
• The Loon Birthday Video – Everyone sending their best “Looooooon” impression for a surprise montage. Cringe-worthy and perfect.
• The Loon Merch Drop – Those limited-edition hoodies? Iconic. We still wear them like a badge of honor.
• The Zoom Chaos of 2020 – During lockdown, the weekly “Looooooon calls” were the only thing keeping us sane.

More Than Just a Word

“Looooooon” isn’t just something we say. It’s something we feel. It’s comfort. It’s joy. It’s freedom to be a little weird, a little loud, a little extra.

It reminds us not to take life too seriously. To make space for the silly, for the spontaneous, for the random things that become sacred over time.

Looking Ahead

So what now?

We’re ten years in, but this is just the beginning. “Looooooon” isn’t slowing down. If anything, it’s gaining momentum. Maybe we’ll write a song. Maybe a comic series. Maybe a podcast called LoonTalk. The future is wide open, and the energy is still alive.

Because “Looooooon 🙌” is more than nostalgia—it’s the present. It’s who we are now. A bunch of real ones who never forgot how to have fun, even when life got serious.

To the Next 10

Here’s to every moment we’ve shared, every laugh we’ve had, every new memory waiting to be made.

Here’s to the quiet understanding that even when we’re miles apart, one word can bring us back together.

Here’s to the word that doesn’t need explanation but says everything.

Here’s to 10 years of Loooooooon 🙌—and a lifetime more.
