      As another gen z kid, I mostly agree. Just remember that most Karens are gen X.

      Silent generation and Boomers built everything we have. Gen X were the ones tearing it all down that just continued down the generations

    People know what boomers are, but there’s a certain… mentality that is prolific in that generation. Anti-tech/tech illiterate, “kids these days”, “back in my day things were better,” casual extreme racism/sexism/homophobia, that kind of thing. That’s really what “boomer” has come to embody.

  17. Rodolfo Gonzalez

    January 30, 2023 at 4:35 pm

    Boomers are unchanged. These are people who fear change and actively try to stop progress because they don’t like it.

  18. TheCacophony

    January 30, 2023 at 4:40 pm

    Boomer is an insult because their generation tends to be on the wrong side of history

    • S. M. Henderson

      January 30, 2023 at 10:39 pm

      “Wrong side of history” lol
      Great attitude

    • Tim Dunn

      January 31, 2023 at 4:25 am

      The thing is, you had boomers fighting on all sides of history. Boomers were upholding the systems of oppression, but they were doing it against Boomers who were trying to tear those systems down. That’s what kind of gets lost when we act like the conflict is between generations instead of ideas.

    • Carl Kamuti

      January 31, 2023 at 7:31 am

      Wrong side of history, the fucks that supposed to mean. Examples.

    Boomer means old.

  21. L A Green

    January 30, 2023 at 5:26 pm

    Hardly an insult to be called a Boomer. It just means you are smarter, cooler and you don’t have to have a phone attached all the time. Boomers were born 1945 thru 1960.

    • Vincent Guttmann

      February 5, 2023 at 9:30 pm

      But boomers don’t know how to use computers, by and large, and “smart” has varying definitions. If you’re defining that by the average IQ, that has steadily gone up for the last century or so

  22. Matthew Humcke

    ……should we tell him?

    Hahaha… boomer.

  25. A Piece Of Cheese

    January 30, 2023 at 6:30 pm

    I mean he says that about boomers, but he did also get offended for being called one lmao

    • mekkio77

      January 30, 2023 at 6:48 pm

      He was offended because Gen Xers are always overlooked or just plain ol’ ignored. It’s like they are unreluctant ninjas.

  26. Kevin Guimond

    January 30, 2023 at 6:56 pm

    I think a lot of ppl would still call someone like him a boomer even though he’s not. People tend to associate it with anyone who’s like 40 or older imo

  27. -_-

    January 30, 2023 at 8:17 pm

    Yep, boomers are all kinds of people. It’s just a shame a lot of the cool ones od’d and we’re stuck with the people who didn’t go to Woodstock.

  28. mslululu98

    January 31, 2023 at 12:19 am

    Nowadays boomer doesn’t mean baby boomer it just means someone who’s old😂 when people say “I’m not a boomer, boomer means baby boomer” it means they’re a boomer, no insult but you guys are exposing yourselves not defending yourselves

  29. Cyril The Red

    January 31, 2023 at 12:49 am

    somebody needs to tell Tony Hawk that we know and we hate that age group specifically

    • Alex T

      January 31, 2023 at 1:19 am

      What a sad existence you have to hate an entire generation.

  30. Life with Nick and Hayley

    January 31, 2023 at 6:58 pm

    Yessss. God when did Boomer become an insult??? Bizarre. Also not a boomer. Im gen Y.

  31. Vincent Guttmann

    February 5, 2023 at 9:27 pm

    I mean, at this with how it’s used today, boomer isn’t an age description any more, but a state of mind, a certain way of viewing the world.
