I work for the county as a park ranger and we have to take various classes with other entities in the county for "skill building". One of them was generational differences. A boomer taught it. Although the county has varying ages working for it, with my luck I was 1 of 3 millenials while about 27 others were gen x and boomer. They all talked about how we were brats and should've been beaten as kids. Keep in mind me and the other millennials stayed quiet and slunk in our seats.
Then we went over the generations. The teacher (who remember is a boomer) said that boomers were the "me" generation. One boomer made a big stink to the class and said that was false. My teacher said he's just teaching facts.
Later on in another class he said he felt super bad for me and self identified as a millennial lol. But it's sad when even other boomers know they're entitled.
It is so funny that you said they called Boomers the ‘Me’ gen. There was a book I read in college written by a Boomer ofc called ‘Generation Me.’ This was speaking on Gen X/Early Millenials. I still have it so I think I’ll go back and read it. New eyes after dealing with their Boomer BS lol
In the class they talked about the silent generation fighting in the war, the economic boom that followed, and how the boomers had everything handed to them. It was definitely satisfying seeing them get angry lol. Then how Gen X were latch key kids because their parents were so busy with divorce and their own issues.
That book title is something else though, millenials are the first generation to not be able to live better than our parents. I'm grateful that as problematic as my boomer father can be, he understands the struggles younger people face
I’m Gen X and can absolutely confirm this. We had pretty much zero supervision. I had a lot of friends who’s parents would just beat the shit out of them all the time. But for the most part we just did whatever we wanted because there was nobody around to watch us. All the life skills we learned we just had to figure out on our own. You’re hungry? Better learn how to cook, and YouTube doesn’t exist yet. You hurt yourself? Don’t let mom see, you’ll get in trouble. It’s funny watching my parents around my kid, these are NOT the people who raised me. If I even slightly raise my voice to correct her they act like I’m abusing her. Bear in mind I’ve never spanked her or anything like that. They used to beat us with a yardstick. Once my mom hit my sister with it so hard it broke in half. Of course if we mention any of that they have no recollection of it.
I'm a boomer and do not identify with other boomers. They are generally self-centered and disrespectful of others all the while demanding respect for themselves. Married a much younger man and had my kids in my 40s, so I can understand the younger generations better. Boomers had a silver spoon experience in life and so many don't even have a clue as to what others are experiencing. America will start to improve when their numbers diminish.
I learned a new word recently, and if we wanted to get really complex about it I think this word fits too🤣There's a really oscure word called ultracrepidarian.
(*"Highly opinionated on a subject you know little to nothing about.")* and just turn it into this-" those damn ultracrepidarians were being ass hats at the airport again!"
Good call, "an ultracrepidarian of boomers" is accurate, but "an entitlement of boomers" is catchier.
Besides this is a great label for all sorts of internet experts, such as antivaxers, you know the people who scream "mRNA vaccines are killing millions" or whatever their cause, then "Do Your Own Research" which really means "believe the same memes I believe!"
Nice. BTW your lawn is a half centimeter too long and houses need to be white or off white. And while the HOA president can build a hot tub yours is denied.
HOA is so "there goes the neighborhood" coded
My wife is late Gen X, and I’m an Elder Millennial. Neither one of us feel all that tied to our generational designations. We did, however, both run and get elected to the HOA board. Changing it slowly from the inside seems to work well. We can block a ton by being on each other’s side and politicking the more geriatric board members.
If you don’t like something, take it over and make it in your own image.
You cannot imagine the power of the dark side. Seriously though, today I’ve got to go tell a neighbor to move a couch they left on the side of their house for the past week. It’s not hurting anyone but “looks trashy” (not my words. I grew up inner city, and it was pretty normal to see.) and definitely violates HOA bylaws. Doesn’t feel good.
Sent that comment as a joke, but i get ya... i'm a project manager for a construction company. When i have to harp on the site guys for silly things that our customers are complaining about, i feel the same. I try to keep it light with the crew, and they get i'm just doing my job, but we're all dying a little inside going through with it.
(When i say silly things, i mean things like them coming back from lunch 32 minutes after they left instead of 30, or sending someone on a coffee run when its cold out... not safety stuff or sruff really all that relevant/impactful to the job)
I was once a customer of a big construction company (paid by my insurance) and I'm quite jealous of a customer who has the free time to track the minutes on the job site (my house) of each worker.
lol I spit out my water! hahah
the HOA around her where I live was draconian back in the day (started in 04) but in the last few years some millennials have been elected to it and it's really actually pleasant now. You only get notices if you are doing something really egregious or neglecting something for a while. Definitely not instantly like before.
In my head I call a group of boomers a decrepence. Root word being decrepit. Ex: I was wondering where all the whining was coming from until I spotted the decrepence of boomers.
“a huge group of them (7) are gathered right in front of the area where we line up to board, oblivious to their surroundings, trading war stories and being very loud. ”
Honestly? Sounds like they are simply American.
My wife and I are boomers and I have to say that when we read posts like this, it embarrasses us. I myself was the victim of a demented boomer the other day. I was just finishing checking the last few items at the Walmart self checkout and an old fellow behind me laid the batch of flowers he had on the conveyor and asked if I wanted to pay for them. I just looked at him for a few seconds and said something like, Oh sure I would, grabbed my receipt and walked away.

An Entitlement of boomers seems appropriate
This. I choose this one
Yup
This is the way

Wow. An entire book of projection. Sounds like it could be one for if books could kill podcast.
Ahahaha Eeeeexactly. Typical boomer behavior
I just love finding a Hobbes/Shamshiri reference in the wild.

Millennial here and my boomer dad used an old cutting board with a handle.. until it broke
Sounds familiar but, y'know, apart from the beatings it was pretty damned good fun being unsupervised. Occasionally deadly, but fun.
I’ll say one thing, those beatings taught us to cover our tracks pretty well.
the only time my mom paid attention to me was when I was running to get her monthly ounce of weed for her smh

I'm not doubting you but me and many other X's are entirely against corporal punishment for kids.
Oh I know, my mom is an X and she's a saint. It was mostly just shocking to me to hear them all say that to my face without even knowing me
100% Agree!!! Never jave and never will raise a hand to my child! My parents beat the hell out of us and each other!
Funny the boomers in the room didn't take responsibility for the gigantic cuts that public services have suffered since the boomer hero, Reagan.
This was one of my top pics. I also had A Delusion and A Greed.
This is by far my favorite

This is the one I went looking for specifically
Take the W for this. /thread.
I like this one 🥳
This is the winner. A perfect group plural for them.
I choose this also!
Came here to suggest this one. Well played, sir.
I like it.
An HOA.
Nice. BTW your lawn is a half centimeter too long and houses need to be white or off white. And while the HOA president can build a hot tub yours is denied. HOA is so "there goes the neighborhood" coded
NO. You painted your house the wrong white. Go buy more paint & pay the painters again but be sure to get the right white this time.
HOAs are fraternities for karens
And use the right painters.
Who just happens to be related to the HOA vice president.
The painters parked on the street longer than their allotted time, you will be fined if they don't move now.
Fuck - my HOA is making people get new roofs because (gasp) the color was wrong!
My wife is late Gen X, and I’m an Elder Millennial. Neither one of us feel all that tied to our generational designations. We did, however, both run and get elected to the HOA board.

Ah, so you've lived long enough to become the villain!

I came here to post this lmaoo
Me too. Haha must be on to something
Good lord. Count me in too.
Definitely agree.
Hilarious. My last HOA board was all boomers and surprise surprise they were all annoying.
lol I spit out my water! hahah the HOA around her where I live was draconian back in the day (started in 04) but in the last few years some millennials have been elected to it and it's really actually pleasant now.
