OK Boomer

[MrPrena]

Dude, this is so wrong. Boomers were mid 40's to mid 60's. Gen X was mid 60's to 1980.

Sorry, but mid 40s is Gen X, my parents were boomers.

This level of maturity is shy the president must be 35 or older. Wish it was the same for all elected officials. Live in the real world before telling others what to do or act.

Hell, both should be gradually raised to 50 or so.

Ignore the inet trends. I coughed into my elbow and someone said I was dabbing or something. Looked at them and said "no I was coughing, wtf is dabbing?" After trying to explaining it to me and the blank, who cares look on my face, they gave up.

We play the circle game also. Some new hire said it was racist and boy did she get an earful from those it was supposed to be offensive to who played.

If I read it correctly, Eric P was saying Gen X'ers are typically "mid 40's" in age, not years of birth. But then again, I may have misunderstood.

As I've always understood it, I'm first year Gen X. Not something I was ever typically proud to admit.

Ginsue beat me to it.

Also spoiler alert:

Generations as presently defined don't actually exist any more than astrological signs predict behavior. The outrage demonstrated in this thread against a fake moment is self evident of why it's in the news so much... Your manipulatable hatred is so,so,so,so profitable.

Societal mores change, standards of living and technology change. But you can't predict people. I've seen equally as much "trash" in the Boomer generation as the millennial. The exception I make is the generations that survived the great depression on average had better character, but it came from the hardship, coupled with the unity in the war. Boomers as a whole haven't experienced that any more than millenials have.

There is no hate in this thread, Ox.

The hate is coming from fake media/this meme.

Once again. you're over Anal izing it.

Boomers were up to 1965. Gen X began in 1966.

If "OK Boomer" is the best answer they can come up with while they still live in mommy's basement, that doesn't mean much. The Millennials seem to be completely ignorant of who built the technology and infrastructure that they currently enjoy.

Surprised the thread made it 15 posts before some ignorant fool once again blamed everything on millenials. Sorry pal, I've been on a payroll since around 14 years old, never lived in mommy's basement as an adult, and the same goes for all my friends and acquaintances in my age group.

ETA: apparently the boomers in your video don't understand that millenials are not Gen Z and vice versa.

Pretty much agrees with my signature line.

Thanks for the discussion all. I try to keep an open mind about things, try to be tolerant of all opinions and attitudes, accept people for who they are.

I just really don't like communists and their ilk and what they stand for.

From a more liberal friend's Facebook page...I think its complete drivel.

I just want to clear up a little something something about Ok Boomer. This is a response to decades of folks of any age literally chastising gen x, millennials, and gen z for basically just trying to live. We have debated everything you’ve wanted us to, argued about false science, been called lazy, useless, and accused of closing down all chain restaurants and malls. The whole thing boils down to this, it’s a yeah, whatever. It’s exhaustion. This isn’t an attack, it’s shrugging our shoulders. It’s, “yeah, sure mom.” It’s, I ain’t gonna debate you on this anymore Uncle Brian. It’s me at seventeen during thanksgiving dinner just rolling my eyes while being told yet again by some relative how wrong I am. It’s being disrespectful but only because you don’t see us as adults. Most of us are forty.

And let’s be real clear who this generational eye roll is at. It’s not at those folks who haven’t denied science, history, or reason. This is not at those of you who marched with Dr. King, protested Vietnam, or rallied about climate change when Earth Day was founded. Ain’t no body coming for y’all. This is about those who have mocked us, telling us we were too young at THIRTY to run for government. The same ones that then turned around and called us bartenders and waitresses and whatever instead of Congresswoman. They did this because we had to get by somehow while we worked our way to the top. We had to fight in a different way.

This is for calling us communists because we wanted to be able to eat. This is for bombing our future. This is for our children, your grandchildren. This is about having to beg to no longer sit at the kids table while we approach our midlife crisis. This is about you refusing to retire but then saying we have no ambition while you still occupy the space we can’t access because you are there.

This is not about age. This is about an abuse of power. About you mocking us and ridiculing us. This is NOT targeted at the teachers who supported us when you wouldn’t listen. To the lady who taught us how to make signs to protest. This isn’t aimed at the trans mama who finally gets to live her authentic life at 65. No, this is directed squarely at everyone who called us stupid but then asked us how to open a PDF. This is about that we were told we needed to go college so we wouldn’t flip burgers but then said we needed to be thankful for flipping burgers with our bachelors degrees but then we also turned around and said, “why are you being mean to folks who flip burgers. All work has value! Maybe we should pay them $15 an hour, this is hard work.” And you said we were stupid and ungrateful and wrong.

This isn’t an attack. This is being done. We are tired of doing the work for you. For answering all the questions. For sending all the emails. For doing it and then you want to rip away everything we’ve worked for and call it your nest egg.

This is for the other folks in your own generation that you’ve abandoned as you gut funding to Medicaid, come after their pensions, and roll back civil rights. This is about everyone, because it’s no longer about you. We are plowing forward with or without you. This is about the fact that we wanted a parent to talk to us like Bernie and Elizabeth and not Trump. We want elders who respect us and elevate our voices and walk the road with us.

We will carve out the America you promised us existed. With equality and justice for all.

Ok, boomer?

Your friend kinda sounds like an idiot and you're right, that is drivel. Oh, wait...you said he was a liberal.
