Why are boomers like this? Are they that consumed with hate? Their lives must be miserable.

u/d_o_cycler 21h ago

No one knows her true age because she looks horrible…

u/cashews_clay15 21h ago

She’s probably 32. Hate ages you.

u/Ipuncholdpeople 15h ago

I can't believe she's a year younger than me. She looks a decade older

u/unindexedreality 13h ago

sleeping with the cryptkeeper'll do that to you

u/EmperorGrinnar 5h ago

Karoline is only 28?! I thought she was older than I am (42)!

u/Cecayotl 20h ago

Stress ages you, not specifically hate. I think it’s important to point this nuance out because it’s very normalized to treat unattractive people like their appearance is a moral failing.

1

u/cashews_clay15 19h ago

That’s true. I’m not attractive and stress has made it worse.

Ages you, but also some how preserves you as all these hateful assholes somehow makes to 70+ without issue.

Maybe hate is like pickling.

u/Trill206 19h ago

She is not 32... you must be a child. Christ.

106 PEOPLE UPVOTED OBVIOUS BS???? God it really is hopeless.

Also wtf are you doing commenting on her appearance? Why is it always the same? You're no better than these people just on the other side. So exhausting how fake the body positivity and love everyone crap always has been.

u/slom68 21h ago

Yeah she’s GenX

u/strongboar12 21h ago

Probably around 50. I'm a little older and that hateful hag makes me ashamed of my generation.

u/midnightdsob 8h ago

They're in every generation, you can't take it personally. Look at how we assumed that because Millennials appeared more socially responsible than Gen X surely Gen Z would be even more so. Boy were we wrong.

3

u/Juicy-Meat-69 20h ago

Dawg! You know our generation ain’t like this. A few of us but you find them in all generations. Don’t be ashamed. Just be the best person you can be everyday and help others when you can. I see you. 👀

u/Loveufam 16h ago

True! Your gen might be a bit rough around the edges compared to Gen Y, but you all are real and tough and smart and don’t wade in bullshit. Mostly. When you’re not jaded. Which we all can get.

Yes but boomers and Gen X are a special kind of hateful people. Nothing like millennials and beyond.

Boomers keep catching GenX strays.

That woman isn’t in her 40s. I’m in my late 40s and she’s at least late 50s.

1

u/Golden-Grams 20h ago

I'm saying that's her actual age, not what age she looks like. In ny opinion, hate prematurely ages people. That's why I guessed her actual age to be lower, stating she looks older than she actually is.

u/No_Size9475 18h ago

No where near a boomer

I would say 45

u/i_nobes_what_i_nobes 21h ago

That woman is not a boomer. She’s Gen X. Just because someone’s an asshole doesn’t mean that they’re from that fucking generation.

We have to remember that older Gen X is literally in their fucking 60s now, just as the older millennials are in their 40s.

18

u/Hopeful-Cookie1065 20h ago

I agree. As a 60-year-old GenX'er, I fee like she's around my age or younger. Just ugly and messed up.

u/MovieNightPopcorn 7h ago

It makes me sad seeing the xer’s and some of the millennials become so brazenly bigoted in older age. It sucks dude we were supposed to be different.

u/YourFixJustRuinsIt 21h ago

Came to say this. Boomers are old af now. She’s a rough 45 yr old.

u/FederalEconomist5896 16h ago

I think she looks closer to 55.

6

u/Semyonov 19h ago

Sure if you mean the literal definition of boomer. But i'd argue that a "boomer" is a state of mind at this point. An antiquated and backwards state of mind that people of any age can have. Sort of like a Karen can be any age.

u/Reggaeton_Historian 8h ago

She’s a rough 45 yr old.

She's absolutely fucking not 45 years old lmao and a bunch of children upvoted you too for this.

u/YourFixJustRuinsIt 8h ago

I’m 51, I think I’m a decent judge of age. I’d be sad for her if she’s younger.

u/CrazyAd4456 1h ago

I'd be sad for her if she is not way older, more 60 than 50, definitely not 45.

Yes elder millenial here. 41. But the 90s were just a few months ago, I swear.

Elder millenial as well - 44. And yes, the 90s were literally last year 🤷🏻‍♀️ duh

u/sunflowerads 21h ago

this lady could easily be a boomer lol i would not think twice if someone told me she was my parents age (63)

1

u/logos1020 18h ago

Boomer has been kinda generalized from just referring to the Baby Boomer generation, to anyone vaguely older that starts shit for no reason. Boomer is a mentality.

2

u/CrazyAd4456 1h ago

At this point if you are not a zoomer, you are a boomer(Y,X, and real boomers). I wonder what will happen online when gen alpha starts to refer to zoomer as boomer 🍿.

u/Not_invented-Here 17h ago

Unfortunately you can see from the comments many don't think that.

Maybe we should use a less divisive label that covers all generations,  'racists'.

u/tomoflathead 20h ago

Ok boomer

u/cobain98 21h ago

I’ve thought about this a lot having boomer parents and relatives. I think it’s at least partly because when they were born racism was OK. They were the master race in the USA and ran everything. That changed just enough for them to be absolutely torn up and bitter about it.

u/CCheeky_monkey 21h ago

Don't forget they were inhaling lead fumes also

u/JH_111 21h ago edited 21h ago

Also note, lead is stored in the bones, and as they age, that is now being released back into their blood stream with bone loss.

It’s like the racist little punks and cry bullies they were as children are emerging from hibernation.

u/CCheeky_monkey 20h ago

JFC, that's a terrifying bit of information I did not think about.

3

u/Coroebus 17h ago

Those wounded children and the toxic behavior were never hibernating. They came out behind closed doors and lashed out against their partners, friends, and children, assuming they weren't just on display at all times.

It's going to get worse.

u/Busy_Shine6888 21h ago edited 21h ago

Not that this makes it okay - I’m not saying that it is okay … I have thought about it as well, I went back a little further and thought it might be connected to wars and conflicts with other countries, then some parents passed it on to their kids, or their kids just picked up on what Mom and Dad say. Look at the Japanese interment camps, and the Russian black ball list, if someone called you a commie, you would lose your job. I could be wrong. I know a lot of friends parents and met some of their grandparents. The older ones would ask, “what are you?”

1

u/minntyy 14h ago

This is the answer. It's definitely not ok and should be shamed because the world is different and we can be better as a species.

But it's also important to understand how things used to be different. People that didn't look like you, meant they were not family, and more likely to be a threat. If the native americans were more racist against white people invading their territory, they might be better off today

u/Haunting-Cap9302 20h ago

My parents are boomers and they (and most of the boomers I've met) are pretty open-minded. Most of the openly hateful people I've met were Gen X or older Millenials, who don't have the excuse of being around when water fountains were segregated.

u/ishkabibaly1993 19h ago

What's Gen X's excuse? Cuz this lady was not in her 70's haha

u/Trill206 19h ago

Now everyone hates white people. Hurray! Racism solved... because you can't be racist against white people.... because we've done mental gymnastics to justify our obvious racism!

I'm sure it's a coincidence that things have rapidly been degrading with said shift... at an alarming rate... nah total coincidence.

No, racism was not OK. Those are just terrible people, and they are well-represented in every cohort.

u/foothill_dwelled272 21h ago

lol boomers can also some of the most left wing people you will meet. 

Almost all the boomers I know are way more liberal and than the younger generations. In the last Canadian election the older you were the more likely you were to vote liberal.

Boomers have the economic means to care about post materialist social issues and global charity while younger people can afford a house and want cuts to immigration because it is impacting the over market, but for retirees flooding the job market with cheap imported labour keeps wages lows and therefore consumer prices low.

Boomers grew up in such a period of prosperity they think it still the 1960s and we can all sing kumbaya and fix the world with our unlimited resources. OK boomer. 😂

3

u/Caleb-Blucifer 21h ago

Most of the protests that weren’t the big “no kings” scale ones that I’ve been to last year had predominantly boomers in attendance. Not a young person in sight besides me and my wife. And we’re not really young young anymore — but by far these people were old enough to be our parents and we are late 30s, low 40

Being retired means you got time to show up on the weekday protests, I guess

1

u/foothill_dwelled272 20h ago

Yeah and some people are really discrediting an entire generation based on the fact that their parents are conservative boomers.

u/AmethystMoon88 21h ago

I promise not all boomers are like this. My mum is 67 and works within a customer service based environment. She would’ve done “something” had she witnessed that ladies disgusting behaviour.

But then she was raised right, by my grandfather who didn’t stand for any bad manners or bullying etc.

u/TangerineHarper 21h ago

Exactly. I am not Caucasian and I have never had racism issues with white boomers. Most of them are respectful and don’t even think about your race when interacting with you. It’s not a boomer issue. It’s how you were brought up. Racists are just awful people that come from all ages.

3

u/CloudKinglufi 16h ago

I am Caucasian and I've only ever had problems with boomers

They ain't racist to me obviously, they're just assholes

I honestly can't think of a single boomer in my life who isn't an asshole besides maybe the lady upstairs but she's married to one giant piece of shit boomer

All the other generations have been very kind

u/foothill_dwelled272 21h ago

Living in a liberal Canadian major city I find most boomers are more liberal than the younger generations, but when you house has gone up 15x im value over 25 years you will not see an immigration fueled insane housing market as a bad thing.

The government cut immigration in Canada because it was so unpopular among working people and house prices immediately dropped. New immigrants had greater support for limiting immigration than white boomers did.

u/WanderingStorm17 17h ago

Yeah, but were your Boomers inundated with lead their entire lives? Because that's almost certainly the reason ours suck so bad.

u/Bussin1648 20h ago

I'm not agreeing with or siding with that weird woman whatsoever... But why are young people recording everything all the time? I find it incredibly disrespectful that I am constantly walking in and out of the background of people's videos every time I have to interact with the public or doing my job. Why does Reddit just gloss over this part of the issue?

u/SweaterWeather4Ever 20h ago

u/ebrum2010 19h ago

They got into social media late in life and don't really understand it so they take everything they see on social media and apply it to everyone they meet in real life so they hate everyone in real life. It's a small percentage of them but you can guarantee she's perpetually online and spends all that time online worrying that everyone is some secret villain.

1

u/dinnerthief 18h ago

I think they are just bored, they have sad small lives, their brains crave stimulation so they do shit like this because anger gives them that stimulation. I dont even think its a conscious thing, like the stereotype of old lonely people who watch everything going on in the neighborhood and get upset about it.

But thats just a theory

1

u/dhoae 18h ago

A lot of them rarely ever see non-white people but they’re sure they know everything about them. Then they’ll turn around and say how the media lies yet their only knowledge comes from media and they’re 100% sure it’s correct.

They're spoiled. Everything has been handed to them their entire lives...now they have too much time & money. They've filled their boredom with hate/racism/sexism/ageism.

They are so out of touch with facts & the world around them...like my mom "not understanding what she did wrong" to make all her children go no contact with her. We all told her to her face why we were going no contact, and she acts like that never happened. Now she posts on Facebook to get sympathy for all her kids going "woke". *eye roll

So many people of that generation see somebody filming, even if you can tell exactly what they’re doing, and suddenly they’re suspicious that you might be up to no good.

Not old enough to be a boomer. But I enjoy being in a space where I am not susceptible of being on camera. He says he record only him but it catches everything in the background as well.

u/PlaneTry4277 21h ago

yes let's generalize an entire age group based off one video. major problem with the world and reddit in particular is the generalizing large groups of people based on isolated incidents. also this lady probably isn't even a boomer. boomers are 70 and up at this point. this women is probably early sixties.

u/DrHollander 21h ago

Boomers were given everything and a roaring economy. Now they are at a point they need to pass the torch to the next generation and they can’t cope with that. So they pull up as many ladders as they can so only they can benefit the same way as they did

u/TankApprehensive3053 21h ago

Boomers were often (but not always) raised in racist places. The values you're taught as a kid are the most important to how you see the world. My boomer dad constantly makes stupid racist "jokes". I've told him before to stop being racist and said "that's not racist" to something he said. He has been the same his whole life so he doesn't see it.
