People who did and didn't have smart phones when they went to school shouldn't be lumped into the same generation. They had entirely different experiences growing up.


This is a good point. When I graduated high school personal pagers were just becoming popular, about a year or two before everyone had a basic flip phone.

Anything other than "Ok boomer" falls on deaf ears.

I'm Gen X and I must confess to a little shadenfreude at Boomers here.


The whole of the 80s and first half of the 90s was one huge Boomer circle jerk over how awesome they were in the 60s. You'd think they solved racism, sexism, and ended the Vietnam war by just smoking a shit load of pot and having loads of sex. They were obsessed with letting you know that they were cooler than you when they were your age. You quickly got sick of it.


I don't really remember that but maybe I was too young or wrapped up in being a kid. The hippie movement were activist marching, rioting, protesting, etc., just like the youth of today. Sex and drugs were just a part of it as they wanted marijuana legal and sexual preferences seen as natural ( as we do now). We Gen Xers didn't have any great thing to protest such as war, which I am glad of. We more worried about being on milk cartons, a rash of teen suicides, saying No to drugs. I think we were called "Latch key kids" because we were left alone a lot.

We made fun of hippies when I was a kid. I guess they were way out of style. There was definitely a generational war going on between them in their parent's generation, more than what we see now between them and millenials. If you look back you see how they were treated as if the whole of Western society was going to shit because of those lazy hippies.

Just like boomers treat millenials today.

What I find weird is the crazy activist youth of today that the Boomers complain about would fit pretty easily in with the hippies.

Come to think of it great strides were made in race relations, sexism and how we viewed war. It isn't there yet but humanity has to grow up.

I guess the old has always complained about the young and vice versa. The children of the millenials will roll their eyes one day and say "Ok, Millienial".

When older people gripe about youth and saying they are the "Everyone gets a trophy" generation I ask who was buying the trophies?

What bothers me about the phrase is that I think I'm on the wrong side of the expression. Apparently kids today think anyone over 30 is a boomer and has no concept of the ideals and values they have.

I'm not THAT out of touch. Last I checked I wanted a good future for the generations after me. I don't smugly remark on a lack of motivation, over-entitlement, and weak work ethic like the ACTUAL baby boomers do to people in my generation.

So call it Gen Y in that case. Millenial, even if it started as a synonym to Gen Y, has become more of a cultural mind set and an insult.

That isn't to say I don't have issues with the generations that succeeded me but they're considerably more minor than the legitimately insulting beefs people born in the late 40s and 1950s have ascribed to people born in the 80s. And I'm definitely not trying to undermine their future by voting for things only I care about right now that would screw over people who had to grow up in a society where the consequences of those votes would play out.

There is a ridiculous number of people in this thread who think young people don't know which age the Boomer generation is. They know that Boomers are technically people in their 60s and 70s. When "okay, boomer" is applied to people younger than that, they're saying that the 30, 40, 50 year olds or whatever they might be just have a boomer mindset, which is why it's still dismissed with "okay, boomer". Gen Z doesn't believe that the Boomer generation literally starts at age 30.

But of course a bunch of boomers aren't going to understand that kind of nuance.

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."
Considering you cant even say the n-word because its so bad.... dude deserves to have his tweet Ok Boomered to hell lmao
