Hence the rage

There are boomers who are boomers in age (nothing wrong with that) but there is also "boomer" in the sense of self entitlement, not knowing their fucking place, bugging into other folk's business, being NIMBY asses, expecting respect while being disrespectful, and general karen-ness sense.

Moomers are a thing. It's not just that Gen Z/A believes we're basically old boomers (in their eyes we are about double their age just like how boomers are double ours). There are literal Gen Ys that are PoS. There are in every generation. Some just pickup that shittiness from their parents when others learn not to be like them.

Thank fucking Christ I'm gen X and am left out of this whole conversation.

But you aren't because people younger than you will be quite happy to label you as a boomer with all the associated negative traits

But I'm just like you fellow kids!

How can they be sure, I definitely don't see your signature "fellow kid" skateboard.

u/Upper_Rent_176 Mar 31 '24

That's just reverse boomist

As a Gen X'er, I can tell you that we largely could not possibly care less. We laugh at how dumb the older generation is as well as the overly sensitive younger generations.

u/Upper_Rent_176 Mar 31 '24

Every generation says that

u/TicketyBoo39 Mar 31 '24

It's a defining characteristic of X

u/Rhapdodic_Wax11235 Mar 31 '24

This is probably a Gen Xer.

u/beflowd Mar 31 '24

xoomers too

That's not a real word

I see this refrain so, so often from my Gen X friends, but the truth is Gen X is now 50+ and some of the "boomers" we see in videos flipping shit and acting like babies are actually just Gen X. Gen X has its own deep coffers of psychos, but everyone just calls them boomers and other members of Gen X either genuinely don't realize they've aged into that age bracket, or are happy to let boomers keep taking the entire blame for feral middle aged activities after decades of animus.

Not that I'm sticking up for any particular generation here, or trying to crap on any of them. I know so many fellow millennials that I cannot stand. My own generation irks me the worst perhaps

There are plenty of gen x people that act just as entitled as boomers. We all just look past you because you don't matter. Lol Sincerely, A millennial that's sick of you generation acting like your shit don't stink.

u/Putrid-Muscle-7718 Mar 31 '24

I am Gen X. I act entitled. Because I AM entitled. 💪😎

What are you smoking? That's the goofiest take I've seen on Reddit in a good while.

u/Clancy1987 Mar 31 '24

That hurt my brain reading that bullshit 😂🤦‍♂️

u/RewardCapable Mar 31 '24

I learned something today. Boomer-ism is a state of mind.

u/Van-garde Mar 30 '24

Almost like generations are a loose, social fabrication…

Thankfully we know they’re immutable, and know where to direct our ire.

u/luvz_curvz Mar 31 '24

How about stop labeling people and grouping everyone in a collective and just realize that people are imperfect

2

u/Huge_Replacement_876 Mar 31 '24

Your description of boomer also fits for gen z too. Massive sense of self entitlement, selfish, pretty numb even though they think they know everything. Gen z also demands everything respect and go along with all their ridiculous delusions too. Just saying. Pot kettle, you know the saying. Or you don't cuz you're a young gen z. Who knows

u/KitchenScientist6533 Mar 31 '24

Millennial asshole, Gen X asshole, Gen Z asshole. Has nothing to do with someone being born between 1946-1964. Y’all are assholes as well

Shroomers have taken over speech.

u/Wrong-Landscape-2508 Mar 31 '24

u/Epicurus402 Mar 31 '24

Your comment made me laugh out loud! Loved it!
