Baby Boomers... these things were never cool. No, it's time to accept that these choices were mistakes and move on to make better choices from now on.
We know that some of these will be shocking and hard for you to accept. You may be angry... Just know, even if you disagree, you are still wrong. Today, we're going to (mostly) overlook the big things and, instead, focus on the more mundane mistakes that plague every generation after (baby boomers)
CURSIVE Cursive doesn't actually help. While it may look pretty, it's honestly an outdated waste of time. Surely there's got to be a better way to spend your time than working on your P's and Q's.
24-HOURS NEWS NETWORKS (Shows FOX NEWS in background) You want to scream fake news at something? Scream it at these, not actual news outlets.
FOSSIL FUELS Oh yeah, researching and implementing green, sustainable energy is such a waste. Why not just irreparably destroy the ozone while we fight wars over oil?
BLAMING MILLENNIALS Hey, hey, I get it. "Snowflakes" are "whiny" and "can't take a joke" since they disagree with you. But whatever you do, don't ever direct that blame inward. It's definitely the millenials. (sic)
COMPLAINING ABOUT POLITICAL CORRECTNESS Oh no! We have to treat people who are different from us with the basic respect that every human deserves! What kind of millennial liberal garbage is this?
CONSPIRACY THEORIES Repeat after me: The National Enquirer is full of conspiracy theories and lies. So is Alex Jones and Fox News.
GENDERED EVERYTHING Unpopular opinion time! Colors don't have genders. Girls and boys can do whatever they want or play with whatever they want as long as they're safe, and it makes them happy. Gendering is sexist, and it's time to move past the '50s.

she thinks it’s “retarded sir” to be able to read and write in cursive.
Cool, we can write in code.
How does she sign her name?
“X”?
inflammatory clickbait
she won’t be able to read old documents. She’ll just have to trust others to tell her what they say.

Offshoring heartland factories to the 3rd world thereby weakening the US industrial base, economy and causing huge social instability which threatens national security.
I think tapping on an article 40 times is uncool. :)
It’s amazing how obsessed the left is with Fox News.
Your list is 1000 times better than the one the author put together. So many things on that list weren’t things I even like, let alone think are cool. Crocs? Seriously? I couldn’t keep going through the list.
Dear Payton, the danger to the Ozone Layer was purportedly from CFC's, i.e. "Freon" used in refrigeration, hairspray, etc. Fossil fuels have nothing to do with it.
If cursive is a waste of time then why do we sign our names with it?
“As Rush said, the under 40 set is the only generation that thinks they can’t learn anything from the older generations. They know it all already. The self-righteousness and snarky attitude is off the charts.”
Not only that but they’re determined to teach us a thing or two and set us straight (oops! is that word hurtful to the LBGTQXYZ community?) even if it kills us.
First thing,
He is not a she.

Nearly all of her complaints are fashion or personal taste (meatloaf) issues.
After she’s lived a few years, she will (hopefully) realize that these things change.
Some of the other complaints are about technology that was the best available and/or affordable when we were young. If it ain’t broke, don’t swap it for something more cool/hip/modern/fashionable/rad... you get the point.
>>while we fight wars over oil?
insects and animals fight wars.
It’s certainly as “natural” as the homosexualists’ own uncivil behavior
“Fox News” was responsible for the newshour bumps on the conservative talk station I had on Sunday (apolitical show).
All of the talking points about Flynn and Coronavirus came from the Democrats (Schiff, Schumer...). No counterarguments.
Got a list o things millennials think are cool but aren’t?
