1. I love that Mills and Xers get called Boomer. 2. Zers will have their turn
in 40 years to be laughed at as old and useless.

Kids are idiots. Idiotic behavior is to be expected. When does the game start?

It is about the same as the term "Millennial." Boomers initialized the mud sling

The best thing about Millennial.....

No, the best is Gen Xers who mock Millennials for participation trophies

I work with a bunch of millenials. Great kids, great employees, not at all

Yes. You are an outlier. Millenials are slobs and lazy.

I love working with Millennials. IMHO, they have also played a key role in companies caring about work/life balance.

You post like an old boomer. Kinda shocked you’re that young.

And the out of control costs. Did that generation seriously think that they could set themselves up

For years Boomers made fun of Millennials for being overly sensitive and snowflakes. Now they freak out at "Ok, Boomer"
slappy

Actually I would argue Gen Xers started it.

As a Gen Xer I also enjoy watching it but the irony of the SJW...

You must not understand the SJW value system

the last one kinda makes sense when you say it that way.

Millennials are constantly called lazy, and have been the butt of jokes for years. “Ok boomer” is harmless

Fighting bigotry with bigotry is pretty dumb.
SandYFan

Being upset about "ok, boomer" is pretty dumber.
chago04

Thinking that calling someone a millennial or a boomer is bigotry is dumberest

Denigrating a HUGE NUMBER of people based on age is bigotry.

Ok boomer

Boomer is a state of mind more than an age bracket.
joelvandyne
11/19/19 10:31am
It is?
SandYFan
11/19/19 10:33am
In this context absolutely.
joelvandyne
11/19/19 10:34am
So when it's used, it's NOT intended to mean "you old people who suck"
SandYFan
11/19/19 10:40am
Not just any mindset, the one that millennials are killing Applebee's, or are in

Bigotry...? Interesting. I don't think either is bigotry.

Hilarious watching Boomer snowflakes complain about it after years of slinging

The irony in boomers getting upset over being called boomer is the best part

As a boomer, I can only speak for me, denegrating boomers

To clarify, I have never used the term Millennial in reference to anyone...ever

I do believe that "The greatest generation" rightfully earned that title.
CopperLix
11/19/19 10:24am
I also like the title "Builders" for that generation.
m0resn0w
11/19/19 11:34am
Why would Boomers be builders? What did they build?
BrobaFett
11/19/19 12:29pm
The national debt?

Uhhh....the Boomers aren't the Builders...

I see what you were saying with a couple of re-reads.

Interestingly, the generation before them mocked them just like how boomers
Jay Rick

The number one way of shutting down these insults is showing that you're not hurt over it. Boomers failing miserably

If you aren't actually a Boomer, you are a huge Boomer.

One problem that doesn't go both ways is that this mindset goes against

Respect is earned regardless of age. You’re not entitled to it.

I thought it was funny at first, but now it’s like every third post on reddit and it’s crossed into obnoxious territory.

I think it is kinda dumb. I also thought the millennial bashing was really dumb

You're assuming ALL boomers sowed this.

I'm not assuming all of them did. I said boomers sowed it, not that all boomers

This post is what, "OK BOOMER" was made for.

Why would it be offensive?

Denigrating? Seriously?!? It’s dismissive but not denigrating.
