Everyone’s going to be using millennials as a punching bag forever aren’t they? People are never going to leave us alone and let us rot in peace, are they? What the fuck did we do aside from be depressed and poor?

I know my grown ass shouldn’t care about this kind of thing, but I just hate being lumped into this caricature that was wrong even when boomers invented it like 20 years ago.

The “gen alpha bad” stuff is cringe too. Let the kids 67 in peace.

    I used to make fun of the boomers; in retrospect, a bit too much Now all these fucking zoomers are telling me that I’m out of touch? Oh yeah? Well, your fucking phones are poisoning your minds. Okay? So when you develop a dissociative mental disorder in your late twenties, don’t come crawling back to me

      I dunno, I think the anti-boomer stuff came only after boomers aggressively shitting on young people for a decade and them actively engaging policy war against young people.

      Even then, making fun of boomers always left a bad taste in my mouth. I guess that’s where the “boomer is a state of mind not an age” thing came from.
