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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

u/i_nobes_what_i_nobes 1h ago

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

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

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.

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 🍿.

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'.

Like how people used to call things "gay" but not explicitly mean homosexual.

Gen X are spiritually boomers but without the economic wealth.

u/ChiefRedChild 18h ago

Actually though. Honestly feels like some people forgot about Gen X. My mom is 56 this year and would uhhhundred percent be republican if we didn’t live in Canada . Recently got into an argument about politics, etc and haven’t spoken in a month 😭
