I feel like “Boomer” has lost all genuine meaning and really has just become “anyone over 40.” Pretty soon Gen X will be the new Boomers and Gen Z and Gen Alpha will pivot to blindly loathing them and blaming them for climate change and the myriad atrocities of capitalism.
I think it still has meaning. Just not the same meaning it had 10ish years ago. “Boomer” has transcended description of a particular generation and now refers to a general set of real or perceived attitudes and behaviors.
Fuck, what about millennials? Those guys been fucked even longer.
We are no longer the main protagonists :(
Captain Phillips meme,
Millennials: “Look at me. I am the boomer now.”
