Like I get it if some old fuck randomly starts chirping about Your generation doesnt know the meaning of hard work or something. In that case its an appropriate retort.
But if they just politely say something you disagree with, try to give you advice about something they have decades of experience in, or ask you to stop doing something when you are acting like an actual douche, then its a pretty rude thing to say. just like anything else you can say, there are appropriate and inappropriate times to say it. And I hope people who are accusing boomers of being fragile about it arent the same people who misuse it. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Heres the thing. People gotta grow thicker skin. If someone said okay, boomer to you, it was OBVIOUSLY meant to demean you. Itd be no different than had they said something in lieu of that, like dumbass or moron.

My take is that if the media is so quick to jump onto millennials and Gen Z for killing industries, being lazy, not hitting the right life goals that other generations hit etc. - they shouldn't be surprised that they're getting the same treatment from millennials and Gen Z. Do you not remember the glut of news articles about underperforming millennials, or about these surveys that definitively prove that kids today aren't as intelligent as previous generations, wrapped in this pearl-clutching message that the world was going to shit and that we had nothing to blame but our lazy, uneducated selves?
I don't think "boomer" should be a catch-all for all older people, but there's definitely a bunch of snotty ivory-tower boomer pricks who have been talking shit on newer generations for years, all the way back to when Gen X was the new, young, hateable generation. Kids these days don't know anything about respect, but there they go calling retail workers racial slurs and saying that anyone younger than 30 is lazy, unemployable and killing the country. They admonish people for not getting an education and bettering themselves, meanwhile public schools are being gutted by heartless, ignorant shitheads like Betsy DeVos and people are racking up high 5-figure and low 6-figure debt totals getting through college. Any publication warring against "boomer" almost certainly has dozens of "millennial" and "Gen Z" articles blowing shit out of the water about us, like how cereal sales are down and how this is an attack on society by those lazy, useless millennials. It's all bullshit. They can dish it out for years on end, but they can't fucking take it. --- And I am done with my graceless heart, so tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart Now Playing: Yakuza 5, Final Fantasy X-2, Minecraft ...

Ok how about everyone stops the boomer insults when they stop with the millennial insults. I don't think looking at it like that is great, endless cycle and all that, BUT I am pretty sick of what seems like a stereotypical joke when you see the boomers ranting about "millennials are all terrible and in their parents' basement and refuse to get a job and want everything handed to them!" and they actually believe that represents the entire generation, lol. I think I'm barely a Millennial, on the older end of the generation, and like... everyone I know my age has a normal job and a spouse and kids (or at least an ex-spouse!) that they support and isn't getting handouts from their parents or the government in any bigger way than the previous generation. It's like they see the meme of the guy in flannel pajamas with a coffee mug and think it represents everyone. >_> --- ... Copied to Clipboard!
