Yeah baby boomers are a generation, but not all baby boomers have a boomer mentality. I know some Gen X, some millennials and some zoomers that do too.
a mindset from a different time has little to do with age and more to do with the environment they grew up in. If a baby boomer time traveled from when they were 20 to now they would still be a boomer.
Could you not use people’s age as an insult?
If you don’t get it, it’s not even worth explaining.
k, thanks. bye.
edit: I’ve engaged enough here. Feel free to comment if you’d like blocked.
Boomers is more of a mindset than a specific age range to be fair
Hard disagree. It’s a generation. If people used zoomer or millennial in the same disparaging way in a meme, they’d be lambasted.

I’m familiar with the argument. And yet it is an age descriptor used as a pejorative. But no one cares because its just old people, right?
Don’t be absurd, the Greatest Generation was awesome.
It’s their kids that suck.
Well, maybe “old people” should have stopped fucking everything up for everyone about 50 years ago. Fuck em
Well, a word can have multiple meanings
So if someone called a gay person f-slur, its okay because words have different meanings. Got it.
Oh boy, are you intentionally dense?
Yep, totally the same thing, a blanket word for obtuse close minded people and a sexual slur
Now you get it. A slur doesn’t become not a slur just because it has other meanings
e.g, evaluate this hypothetical statement by fictional commenter Chad Dudebro:
It ain’t the same level of offensive, but “boomer” is obviously an agist slur. Its just that no one cares because its okay to hate old people.

The last characteristic you are allowed to freely attack. It’s rampant online and they don’t even know they’re doing it .
They’ve had longer to become better.
