There are different emoji meanings for rock on hand emoji in different cultures:
- Western culture
- Commonly used to express approval for rock music, heavy metal, or general excitement. Can also be interpreted as 'rock on' or a party gesture.
- Mediterranean and Latin American culture
- In some cultures (e.g., Italy, Spain, Brazil), pointing this gesture downwards can be an insult ('corna' or 'cornuto'), implying one's spouse is unfaithful. However, pointing it upwards generally avoids this negative connotation.
