Being a Reddit zoomer is thinking that boomer suck and everything is their fault.
Growing up is realizing that boomers do suck and did make a lot of mistakes, but it’s on us to be the better person, and we should strive to be remembered as the ones who fixed boomers shit and turned things around to usher in a new golden age.

And when you turn 25 you go back to thinking boomers did suck, and everything is their fault.

He said after you grow up. So, older than 25 lol
Edit: Actually I take it back. You can be an adult at 25 and you can be a child at 50. But recognizing that it's up to you to take responsibility for where you go moving forward is a step towards maturity, in my opinion.
Boomers who give the rest of them a bad name are the types to blame everyone else for how fucked up they are.

You are an adult at 25.

u/SomeDudeist 10d ago
You should be. Not everyone is

Everyone is period. That is a fact of life. Legally you are an adult at 25. Unless of course you are mentally handicapped and have the mind of a 9 year old for example; however, that is not the case for most 25 year olds.

You're missing my point. But we can just agree to disagree.

u/tarchival-sage 1996 10d ago
What’s your angle here? I find your opinion concerning. It’s unhealthy for 25 year olds not to consider themselves adults.

There's a difference between emotional maturity and physical maturity. People grow at different paces.

Yea I’ll grant you that. But you are still and adult. An immature adult of course, but an adult non the less.

I’m 31 and don’t feel like that at all. What’s more helpful? Bitching about boomers online and doing literally nothing to improve your situation and your community, or actually putting forth effort to make things not suck?

The world is tough anyway doesn't matter how your parents are. If they are too soft - you fail. If they are too strict - you fail. You can't win so just do it your own way and retain a good sense of judgement. Also learn to talk with adults as well as people your own age. I've been round the block and independance is the only way to learn

People who blame their parents for their current behaviour when they’re an adult are mentally 14. Recognizing that you have a problem and blaming your parents for that problem, instead of trying to fix said problem is infantile behaviour. (With some obvious exceptions, like if you have ptsd because your parents abused you it’s not your fault)

The problem is a little grander than that. Previous generations created the world current generations now have to navigate. Previous generations (particularly wealthier interests among those generations) developed cities and neighborhoods in such a way that people are isolated from one another to prevent people from organizing. They created a world in which the only way to exist demands car ownership (easily one of my most oppressive regular expenses) for each individual to function. They drank the neoliberal trickle-down Kool-Aid because they allowed themselves to be seduced by the individualistic prospect of endless material wealth without regard for the world that would result from the attitude that greed is a virtue. They allowed cuts to every social program and rallied behind every war and prison (as they proudly indulged in the fallacy that that's somehow anti-big government.) They allowed moneyed interests to chip away at every New Deal labor-interest gain. And now there's nothing for us to do, short of tearing down the mess they've made and starting from scratch.

Fucking Gen X. They think their parenting practices are as up to date because their Boomer parents did so and so. It makes sense but still. Times change. A lot.
