I think so too, because the majority of the people old enough to say "back in my day" now are the baby boomers! And I can't take that generation (whether I'm considered a part of it or not, I was born in 1963 so apparently it can go either way) seriously either as the voice of wisdom. They, or we, are the ones who never wanted to grow up or get old, and started all this mess about "30 is the new 20" or "70 is the new 50" or whatever decade is relevant to them, or us, as the case may be. The generations before that, people just accepted (except for a very few silly rich women and men, I think women are the worse, as men's power derives from so much other than appearance) that they must grow old and might as well do it gracefully.

If you resent the Boomers you’re very likely an Xer.
