Seems like they adopted the world fucking, transformed it, and diversified it into new areas. World fucking used to be about war, finance, manufacturing, and pollution. Now it’s about war, finance, media, fashion, manufacturing, the internet, politics, tech, society, food supplies, religion, pollution, and making the rich feel better about themselves.
Yes it is, because “boomers,” by definition of the word’s intended memetic use, are old yes, but more specifically they are old rich people in power. Using “boomer” as an insult doesn’t hurt them. Meanwhile the actual boomers are literally trying to stigmatize and criminalize queerness. It’s the same logic that makes it ok (encouraged even) to be racist against white people, it just doesn’t affect us.
Didn’t the boomers do Stonewall, by the way? And plays like Hair? And books/shows like Tales Of the City?
Not sure how that generation ended up getting pinned with this stuff, but they (due to their size) were able to start putting a dent in the universe, if you will.
So much Boomer energy. Too bad it can’t be used for anything other than hate.
If anything, it seems more Greatest Generation energy, but that’s harder to say.
the fuck are you on about?
“Ok boomer” and “boomer energy” aren’t directed at boomers, necessarily, they started as replies to young people saying old fashioned things.
Like, for example, hating gay people.
Boomer is a mindset.
It’s bigotry based on ageism. It’s not fundamentally different from homophobia.
Maybe Boomers shouldn’t have fucked the world and every younger generation.
Oh the ‘world fucking’ started way before the boomers. But the boomers sure didn’t help things.

I thought you called others snowflakes? You’re sure acting like one
Nope. It’s the paradox of tolerance in action. Try to keep up…
People who punch down will always play the victim when someone punches up.
You aren’t born a boomer and not be able to do anything about it though…
Did you drop the /s?
A boomer is literally anyone born in the US between 1945 and1959.
