I'm Gen X and I must confess to a little shadenfreude at Boomers here. I was raised by Boomers & heard all their bullshit (there was good stuff too, to be fair). I don't think Gen X really targeted Boomers politically, but Boomers clearly targeted the generations before them. Seems they can't stand the taste of their own medicine.


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

It's like the Millenials and Boomers a launching boulders at each other...and we're just in the middle watching them fly overhead as we wait to see what happens when they land.

Yeah. 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. To me it seems like gen X made more of an impact on technology and culture than politics.


Gen X is the power behind the tech revolution. They don't need world leadership when they run the internet.

Maybe so.

:shrugs: All Im saying is its not uncommon for generations of Americans to shit on others in attempt to deflect blame from where it actually lies.

Not it to say that theres never case where actual criticisms can be made of particular generations. Its just generally not the case. And almost 100% not the case on the internet

It's not uncommon for generations in general to do this, there are quotes disparaging generations as far back as Greek philosophers if not earlier

Fair enough. Thanks for the added information. Its proves even more the point that its not a specific generational thing but a human fallacy for taking responsibility for ones actions themselves.

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."

Boomer - Hey son, you need to save some of the money you make.

Millennial - Ok, Boomer *spends all money and takes on debt for toys and shit you dont need*

We need socialism!!1!!1!!


Boomers started socialism and plundered the wealth of future generations via inflation, printing money, and limiting the housing supply.

Boomers are annoying but millennials are actually entitled and lazy

Both suck


Millenials have it much worse than boomers.

Boomers could literally work a summer job and pay their own college, move out, then get a kick ass job right out of college and get a house with a dog, a white picket fence and a stepford wife.

Millenials can't get jobs, jobs don't pay shit now, the cost of college has skyrocketed, housing is several times more expensive now, and getting a college degree may not get you a decent job, and even if you get a college degree, it HAS to be the "right" degree (STEM) and you have to do the "right" things (eg get connections, the right internship, etc) and even then you will be saddled with student debt.

What's funny about this is boomers wouldn't care because people in there 60s aren't the demographic that is lurking on message boards like this and reddit.

The only ones actually upset are the people being called boomers that aren't boomers.

It's amusing that kids think they are "winning" a game by upsetting people who aren't even playing.

Yeah. Probably the only place boomers are online is on Facebook. Kids thinking they've got a gotcha moment with "okay boomer" are more than likely interacting with Gen X or millenniasl.

Oh I agree. Just like the other terms you posted in your last post. Generalizations are a great way on the internet to just dismiss an opinion you don't like by labeling them with a negative term.

that's dumb. I'm in my 30's still but technically "over 30" and I am not a fucking boomer. I was born in the 80's. boomers are the kids of WW2 vets. you can't be a boomer unless you are at least 60 or older.
Boomers making Millenials and Gen Z fight each other is the generational version of rich people making the poor and the middle class fight each other.
