Go Down

the reason youth hate the boomers is because they're a generation of people who never let go of their youth and refuse to let the following generations grow.

i NEED a new car!
i NEED a new phone!
what the hell kind of christmas music is THIS? where are the classics WE ALL remember?
wow, music today is so SHITTY! what happened to the GREATS like kiss and the monkees?
remember XYZ idiotic cultural trend? well, they need to bring it BACK!
wow, XYZ is back? you kids don't know what you're missing!
pacman is STILL the only good game ever and you kids need to grow up and quit playing them!
scooby doo should never die


consider that the sense of gross entitlement we attribute to boomers is something they grew into with age since most brag about coming up from absolutely nothing and it's in no way better today since children expect each other to all wear brand name clothing and have expensive smartphones.

i think the more troubling concern is that 20 year olds are already nostalgic and trying to buy their childhood back with endless shitty remakes of games and toys. imagine those people having a midlife crisis

i'm moving to antarctica. kids these days can fuck off

don't let's

Society will never get any better than what it is as long as any humans exist.

^^^ What Far said.

And as long as society wants to get rid of boomers instead of learn from 'em, society will always re-invent the wheel, repeat old mistakes, and laugh at stale jokes because they never heard 'em before...when boomers heard 'em a long time ago.  Get rid of boomers and the joke's on society.

BTW, I'm a boomer.  You'll have to catch me first, whippersnapper.
Hmph.

YPrrrr

I like how you jumped between the Monkees and Kiss so quickly girl;

if we didn't have boomers and their incessant quest for more we would still be in the 1940s realistically

the boomers had their time is all, and they're really refusing to let us have ours

we have these entry barriers into careers that are so impossibly high that people have now found ways to profit on the fact that no one is capable of getting a job. obviously the answer to the problem is not "boomers just need to die already" but they've set up this lifestyle for themselves that keeps us college grad age kids working at minimum wage jobs
What the fuck was it for anyway?

you cant only blame that, though
a lot of it is people in our generation studying things that won't land them a job (hello)
isn't that hard to do some research on the job market before you decide what you want to do

the boomers also made college mandatory for our generation

You have what you have now because of boomers.  But for boomers you'd still be subsistence farming yourself.  Boomers gave you your computers and smartphones.  Without boomers, the kids wouldn't have a platform to launch their future to begin with, and they'd be reinventing the wheel every generation thereafter.
Hmph.

boomers are the employers and yes

really good luck being under 30 and finding a job as a gas pumper without 5 years experience and a phd in quantum physics
