Guest Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 “OK Boomer” is one of the more eye-roll-y things I’ve come across lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know it was a thing. Really it has been building up over the last two years. But these last two weeks every boomer on Twitter is taking offense to the term which is just emboldening its use. Edit: I'm reading the article now (imagine that!) and it does a good job of outlining why it's kind of a slur and why it upsets boomers.

legend Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 As a sarcastic retort to someone complaining about the millennial or gen z generation, I think it's fine.

Well since Ageism is becoming a growing concern in the work place with boomers I can see how they would. Getting old sucks. 1 minute ago, Firewithin said: but thats what boomers have doing to everyone else all along That's the irony of it... the generation that considers all kinds of "isms" to be wrong (racism, sexism, homophobia) has NO problem creating new "isms" that it is cool with promoting.

marioandsonic Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 On the one hand, using a term like that isn't really very helpful in trying to get your message across, and makes you look too antagonistic. On the other hand, conservatives have been using the term "millennial" as an insult for nearly a decade, and to hear them cry about how mean the term "boomer" is just furthers the fact that they are just as big (if not bigger) snowflakes as the millennials they try to mock.

b_m_b_m_b_m Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Boomer is a state of mind, having more to do with being out of touch than being born between 1945 and 1963, you buncha dorks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneticBlueprint Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 I'm in favor of dismissing arguments that merit no consideration with pithy epithets. When my dad says he's not worried about global warming because the Earth goes through natural warming and cooling cycles I'm going to educate him on the facts of the matter and the dangers of that mindset. When my millennial cousin, boomer aunt, or greatest generation grandmother scream "global warming is a hoax!" after getting an impotent rage fix from Hannity I'm just going to say "Okay boomer." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
