baby boomers

Ok boomer, give the blame game a rest. This Tumblr user went on a passionate rant about how the millennial generation is doing the best they can with the state of the world they live in. That being said, it'd be great to see less of people lumping everyone together based off the generation they were born in. Just cause you're a baby boomer or a millennial, doesn't mean you're going to share the same values as everyone else in that generation. 

For those not in the know, "OK Boomer" is a dismissive retort often used to disregard or mock Baby Boomers and those who are perceived as old-fashioned and being out-of-touch. Part of this phenomenon is the feature that many baby boomers themselves consider this to be an ageist slur. This in turn has been seen by many as a hypocritical overreaction that has been met with more Ok Boomer Roasting on Twitter. The whole thing has stirred up more discussion and argument about age and politics. Here is a Gen-X perspective and explanation of why "ok boomer" is becoming more than just a thing people say on Twitter.

In case you missed it, the "Ok Boomer" meme has been sweeping the various social media outlets like none other. Millennials are clashing with Baby Boomers, and using the memes at their disposal to drive their point home. Many would likely suggest it's all just fun and games. It looks like the younger generations are back at it again with the Baby Boomer banter. This time they're dishing out various bits of ridiculous advice. 

Millennials are infamous for being "so sensitive" and here we have the baby boomers going off over a simple meme. The 'OK Boomer' meme plays on the "Karens" of the world that get all worked up over nothing. It would seem these generations are determined to butt heads online. 

Twitter users are sharing bits of baby boomer advice that aged terribly into 2019. Some things just don't stand the test of time. At all really. 

This baby boomer wasn't ready for a millennial to fight back with cold hard logic in the comments section. You're never too old to get taken to school. 

Someone on AskReddit asked for Baby Boomers to share the issues that existed while they were young, that made them think the older generation were a bunch of idiots. Things like adults resisting the use of seat belts, and assuming that all credit cards were terrible because of being so against any kind of debt, serve as solid examples. Maybe every younger generation is just bound to have a bone to pick with their older generation. 

This student lived to regret uttering an "ok boomer" to an upset teacher in class. Now it sounds like they're running the risk of getting a "C" in class. Gotta be careful with bringing those viral memes that target the "boomer generation" in class. 

A viral audio clip from Tik Tok is to blame for starting this whole "Ok Boomer" movement. Yes, apparently an old dude in a baseball cap made a clip of himself calling out the younger generations for having Peter Pan syndrome, and never wanting to grow up. This resulted in countless angry folks from Generation Z responding with, "Ok Boomer." From there, a movement was born. And apparently there's even some merch in the mix. 

One of our new favorite subreddits pokes fun at Baby Boomers for all their outdated antics and notorious inability for being able to keep up with these fast changing times. Baby boomers had it coming. 

We love a good old-fashioned baby boomer roasting. The internet can't seem to get enough of millennials squaring off against baby boomers. The following list of "Boomer Porn" video titles are nothing short of absolute comedy gold. 

The internet loves a good little Millennials vs Baby Boomers online battle. This Baby Boomer was in for a rude awakening in the comments section after their post about millennial entitlement and free education vs. affordable education. Sometimes the best way to address bullish ignorance is to break out the facts. Their point was very well put, and it doesn't look like angry baby boomer had anything else to say about the matter. 

A rare Tumblr post that actually doesn't bash millennials for ruining another industry. Wow.
