Keysmash is the act of tapping quickly and randomly on the keyboard of a computer or mobile device. It is usually a series of inconsistent keystrokes that do not form an understandable word or sentence (gibberish).
Why frantically hit the keyboard?
Users use Keysmash for a variety of reasons, including:
— Express intense or inexpressible emotions.
— Fill a silence in an online conversation.
— Add a touch of humor or excitement to a message.
— Create a visual reaction to a given situation.
— Establish a connection with other users who understand the implicit meaning of the Keysmash.
How to make a good keysmash?
A good Keysmash is usually chaotic, but it can be effective if it manages to convey the emotion or feeling being expressed.
Example: sdlkjmsdflkj
Here are some tips for creating a convincing Keysmash:
