OK Boomer

[Great-Kazoo]

It’s not at those folks who haven’t denied science, history, or reason.

Funny they mock "us" for questioning climate changes. YET are in complete denial about history.

I enjoy an automotive enthusiast site that has a very active comments section where social and generational conflicts really play out. It is interesting to see the outright rage the 'Ok Boomer' comments generate in both the boomers and the millennial/gen Z set. One of my favorite comments came from an interchange between a self-identified Gen Xer and a very angry millineal who said 'Ok Xoomer, we're coming for you next'. I chuckled and thought, good luck getting any sort of rise out of a generation collectively characterized by apathy bordering on nihilism.

I get the millineal rage, to a large extent. Lot of them are in their late 30s now. Many combat vets in that age demographic. I imagine it feels as frustrating as a Viet Nam vet getting lumped in with a draft dodger and then blamed for 80s corporate raiding. Funny how neither side sees their reflection in the other.

Reminds me of the Ballad of Billy John.

This song isn't safe for work, but it belongs in this thread.

I remember when I heard this the first time.


His best though is the title track.

Judging people by the time frame they were born is just lazy IMO. Most people don't need my judgement. The few who do need my judgement are normally judged by their behavior including actions and words. I'm pretty sure those few people I judge don't really care about my opinion. They are probably correct in not caring.

"OK Boomer," said Commander Adama. The first time I every heard the phrase and the only time it ever made sense to me.

Isn't the only response to "OK Boomer" "Boomer Sooner"?

Watching the people on this forum try to understand meme culture is quaintly adorable, but not nearly as funny as the NYT trying to do the same thing.

This level of maturity is shy the president must be 35 or older.

If you want to be scared, I'm a millenial, one of the older ones but still technically millenial, and I just became qualified to be president.

Same here, I've been qualified (age wise) for nearly a year.
