Bob, you better not miss dinner, my dude. Alright, seriously, this group is brilliant and very well might take over your life. It's a bunch of millennials who have dedicated themselves to trolling baby boomers with statuses that are hilariously on point.

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.
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.

George Carlin goes on quite the brutal riff about baby boomers. With all the recent buzz about the"Ok Boomer" meme, this rant is especially relevant.
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.
Twitter's in a bit of an uproar over a resurfaced survey from Bank of America that says 1 in 6 millennials have $100K in savings. Many folks reacted with doubt, surprise, and general dismissal. Instead, they suggest that these fortunate millennials must come from old money, and that it's more likely most millennials have under $1K in their savings.
Whether you're a grumpy old person who wants to complain about kids these days, or a disgruntled kid these days who wonders if old people have anything better to do than complain about kids these days, there's something for you all to learn/complain about here. To keep the nostalgia train going for everyone there's enough 70s and 80s nostalgia and some 90s life hacks to go around for everyone. Oh, by the way, cursive is a racket.
Twitter user @calluna_, responded to a professor who complained about the millennials being the lamest, most intolerable generation by transcribing a collection of 18th century student disciplinary records, and sharing her findings. Turns out things were pretty out of control in the 18th century. Makes the millennials look pretty reasonable after all.
This kid is going places. They dressed up as an "influencer apology" video and absolutely freaking nailed it. That and the fact that they include a ton of ads makes this video hilariously accurate. Well done, kid.
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.
