For years they denigrated millennials for being sensitive snowflakes, and yet are behaving with outrage in some instances with this. It is fantastic

Underrated

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

Eddie

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

The best thing about Millennial.....

TheHop

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.

Problem is the age range is so large. I am at the very beginning of the

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

I work at the fastest growing company in Utah. Average age: 29.

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

11/19/19 10:15am

Actually I would argue Gen Xers started it.

The Y's Insider

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

CoachSpeak

11/19/19 10:31am

You must not understand the SJW value system

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

Some people are upset about that? Ok, boomer.

Has the target ever made a negative comment about younger people?

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

DieHarder

11/19/19 10:16am

Fighting bigotry with bigotry is pretty dumb.

SandYFan

11/19/19 10:18am

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

chago04

11/19/19 10:19am

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

sidsie716

11/19/19 10:20am

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

SandYFan

11/19/19 10:23am

Ok boomer

sidsie716

11/19/19 10:24am

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

joelvandyne

I see.

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

Hilarious watching Boomer snowflakes complain about it after years of slinging

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

Frank Castiglione

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?

CoachSpeak

11/19/19 12:39pm

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

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

BrobaFett

11/19/19 3:49pm

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

Jay Rick

11/19/19 11:39am

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

My perspective as a boomer........Get Off My Lawn!

1. I love that Mills and Xers get called Boomer. 2. Zers will have their turn

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

CougarMandias

11/19/19 11:18am

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.

Lieutenant America

11/19/19 11:47pm

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

SuperTank

11/19/19 11:45am

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

IceCreamButt

11/19/19 12:00pm

You're assuming ALL boomers sowed this.

Eddie

11/19/19 12:03pm

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

IceCreamButt

11/19/19 12:15pm

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

BrobaFett

11/19/19 12:23pm

Why would it be offensive?

Dr MoBYU

11/19/19 12:58pm

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