brestugo 11/04/19 5:21:18 PM #1:	https://mashable.com/article/ok-boomer-people-mad/ Boomers are doing what they do best: Shouting on the internet. The youth and by youth I mean anyone who understands how to rotate a pdf are firing back at disgruntled Olds with an all-encompassing "OK, Boomer." The phrase has become a rallying cry for all who've had to deal with some old fart complaining about how younger generations are entitled and lazy. "Teenagers use it to reply to cringey YouTube videos, Donald Trump tweets, and basically any person over 30 who says something condescending about young people and the issues that matter to them," New York Times reporter Taylor Lorenz explained in an article about the phrase. Kalhan Rosenblatt, who also reported on the meme for NBC, explained it as "a culmination of annoyance and frustration at a generation young people perceive to be worsening issues like climate change, political polarization, and economic hardship." The phase is especially useful for situations when you simply don't have the time or energy to unpack why someone's in the wrong, and need to shut it all down with a dismissive "OK, Boomer." Predictably, the Boomers are pissed. Maureen Dowd, a columnist at the New York Times, tied the phrase to Rep. Katie Hill's resignation after her relationship with a former campaign staffer was revealed through revenge porn. Dowd was offended that her coworker and national hero Shawn McCreesh responded with "OK, Boomer" when she expressed "bewilderment" at Millennials' penchant for taking photos of everything they do. Radio host Bob Lonsberry claimed in a now-deleted tweet that the phrase "OK, Boomer" is akin to the n-word. His take was quickly ratio'd with "OK, Boomer." --- It's not about the size of the dog in the fight, it's about the size of the fight in the dog. <cite>brestugo posted [p:929666069] in Boomers up...

I was raised by Boomers & heard all their bullshit (there was good stuff too, to be fair).

It's actually kinda fun to watch, as an X'er.

For better or worse, gen X was too small and boomers lived longer than previous generations, so gen X never really got a shot at world leadership - at least not yet.
