What's your thoughts on the Ok Boomer

So you're saying it's bad not to be a suck-up and actually live your life without caring about every single thing that is written and said? Like honestly I'd rather talk to some "boomer" person that I have more in common with than some youngster or just special snowflake who needs to educate me every second of the conversation.

I know you probably don't mean that all millennials are "just youngsters" and "special snowflakes" but the sentence itself sounds ageist which is ironic. For the boomer generation it's acceptable for them to have certain traditionalist views which in my opinion is something that people have the right to be """"offended"""" by. That's not to say all boomers are like this (which no one would agree with either, no one is going to turn against their grandparents because of a meme) but the ones that are getting offended the most are the ones with questionable views that are getting a taste of their own medicine and you're getting mad for them. They say harsher things towards teenagers/young adults online but something as simple as "ok boomer" causes them to freak out and compare it to the worst of words. If you want to call us SJWs and special snowflakes so much the way they have reacted is very typical of that behaviour which is why this is so funny.
 
first world problems. if someone saying ok boomer to you is what it takes to ruin your day, go back to bed. the geriatric crowd won't give you points for sticking it to social media. you're lumped in with us whether you like it or not. even jesus man told sky daddy ok boomer, so it's holy

No, I know good younger people I'm not saying everyone is bad but those who are loudest get the attention. But I don't think it's any more right for them to clank down on us because those people can't take a single thing you say to them. Go out and live in the real world for a day and you will hopefully get some skin on your nose.

And a lot of this "special snowflake tumblrina" generation think the only acceptable way to live online is to educate yourself every second you sit online and if you don't know any terminology when it comes to eg. lgbtq+, mental disorder, depression or whatever issues or just anything those are extremely knowledgeable of. And same with memes apparently lol.

I'll re-direct anyone to Envy's post some pages back that is excellent reading, but I think a lot of younger people just use this in defense just because they are so "woke and educated" and they think old people are trash views lots of times.

Yeah I'm just saying all those "young and superior" people that uses this is incredibly not knowledgeable at all in the end and are probably those that hang around meme sites and social media accounts that posts things that are "incredibly funny" like this.

No, I'm proud to be old, I'm just pointing to the hypocrite use.

Idk what getting some skin on my nose means but it's very rude to assume that I haven't lived a "real" life and all I do is ****post online to have that opinion, I think a lot of internet culture is really unhealthy. You don't think it's funny and that's fine, no one is going to crucify you for that but we're not stupid and unreasonable people which is what you're implying.
 
it doesnt matter, every new generation will have an insult towards the previous one, and every old generation will have dislikes about the new one.

I don't harbor any bad feelings for any generation and kinda wish this topic didn't exist.

I don't like to see anyone offended. There is no reason for it.

I don't think it's funny and I also don't like the idea of anyone being offended.
 
definitely a mentality thing than an age thing. I think it's funny haha, but im kinda sad that 'boomer' is becoming overused ngl. i liked to use it in a joking manner before this whole phrase became mainstream but it's already starting to get old.
 
It's hilarious lol. Watching people's hypocrisy is sweet. They've been calling themselves that forever but you know, once you call them it, the world is ending

However a lot of people are overusing it, so it's annoying when I see it everywhere

I've never heard anyone from that era refer to themselves as that.
 
I think it is kind of funny. However, it does get annoying when used as does not make sense or is over used.
