As a millennial, I have no sympathy for these whiny millennials and Gen Zers that put all the blame for their problems on boomers. I know so many in my generation that buy crap like crazy and travel frequently yet complain about not being able to buy a house and claim to care about the environment. Also, even the dumbest of the bunch think they are smart enough to do any job without any actual knowledge or experience. They think their college degrees = work experience. Nope.
A bunch of words that don't mean anything and yet she probably thinks it is brilliant.
Their reaction just proves the point of what they were reacting to - they are willfully ignorant and clueless as to reality.
Media: “Give us your money!
And if you don’t have any money, blame the Boomers for giving us theirs... no, wait, just blame them- never mind why.”
#OKBoomer: Gen Z Millennial Snowflakes Mock Elders Who Created This Mess
If that’s supposed to be an insult, I’d say it was pretty mild. Is that all you got? I don’t mind being ID’d as a Boomer. Every new grey hair becomes a Medal of One Who Has Survived Life and still looks forward to tomorrow.
All younger generations will at some point blame their present situation on actions of past generations. Many of us did the same thing. “Don’t trust anyone over 30!!” Remember that?
Made up crap.
9 kids at one high school is a trend? Who knew?
I predict that fifty years from now the schools will be teaching about Ponzi schemes in third grade. There will be nightmarish descriptions of what progressives did to our economy and way of life.
” a group of nine students used duct tape to plaster “ok boomer” across their chests.”
I think I see the problem here. Nine students for 8 letters. Maybe one student was the space...
The irony seems to be escaping the Baby Boomers.
As the first to really, really push the envelope to ridicule oldsters on a national level, they’ve become whinners when their grandchildren (in blood and temperament) openly turn against them.
The Baby Boomers talked about not needing any material items for a good life and then proceeded to go about getting all they could. It’s only natural their material goods are being eyed by those they were part and package in creating.
Too late, and still they never learn.
As in the 60s and 70s, blaming others.
And still blaming others.
Ok, millennial POS who doesn’t know sh*t from shinola, who was given participation trophies for breathing, and who was born on third base and think they hit a triple. Time is a humbling MF’er, and trust me, kids your time is coming.

Yeah, well, when they learn to drive manual transmissions, maybe they will get some respect...But, maybe not.
Why drag Oklahoma into this? Is it worse there?
Ok “Useful Idiots” (Look it up.)
The NYT is typically clueless to matters of teh Interwebz - come on, I thought Sarah Jeong was going to solve all this for them? No matter. Intergenerational flame-throwing is a habit of weak and petty minds. We’re all in this together, like it or not.
Boomers -vs- Doomers
“Ok, boomer!”
“”Ok, boomer!”?
“Well, you may be a nut job, but at least we know you not my offspring (tell your mom I was the guy with the red, white, and blue condom). “
Thanks to Democrat education, Gen Z and Millennials have the benefit of an uncluttered mind.
Lol!
My daughter calls me boomer all the time.
So I started calling her tumor.
(neither one of us mean it)
