IDGAF if you are doing it to be funny, ALMOST NONE of you have had to deal with as many YEARS of boomer bullshit as I have.

THEY FUCKING CANCELED DND FOR ME! NONE OF YOU WILL KNOW THAT PAIN.

My parents were boomers, all their friends were boomers, I had to sit and watch as they pulled the ladder up.

I have never been financially stable and I did everything those BOOMER FUCKS told me to do: Study hard, get a degree, look em in the eye and firm handshake your way into a 2 car garage and a family of five, work at the same job every day and give your all to the company and they will take care of you.

LIES! LIES LIES! LIES! LIES!!!

Those of you fucking lucky enough to be raised by GenX, you have NO CLUE what it was like to live under a boomer’s roof.

Now of course a ton of you are going to come in this thread and call me a boomer because the internet is filled with smelly children with sticky fingers that can’t help but prod people where they suffer and I WILL BAN EVERY MOTHERFUCKING LAST ONE OF YOU and CACKLE as I do. Like a good old classic witch’s cackle. I might even put on my hat.

    I know what you mean. I’ve been called a “boomer” a number of times despite only being 42. The word has been so misused now that it effectively has no meaning anymore. It started off as a great term to point out how one specific older generation was hanging on to the past too much and fucking everything up for everyone born after them. Then it became a catch all term that basically meant “anyone who is older than I am whom I disagree with about anything”. At that point it pretty much lost all impact. It became something a 12 year old calls their teenage sibling because they’re hogging the Xbox… THEN people managed to somehow make it have even less meaning by just turning it into a general insult that they think instantly makes their argument seem correct.

    Next time someone calls you a “boomer”, ask them to define exactly what that means and how the term is appropriate in that specific context lol
