LMAO indicates something a person actually does, whereas ROFL isn't really a thing people do, so its more of a meme than it is useful.

That's my guess anyways. Like the latter is less mature because of that and so people use it less.

Well, after the rebrand, LMFAO had a few banger hits. I couldn't remember a single good song that ROFL brought out though.

I think it was honestly the popularity of ROFL over LAMO that signed its death warrant. It became associated with Internet culture at the time. Usually the popular slang isn't the ones that stick around. It's the less flashy ones that trickle out of the subculture and latches onto the lexicon.
