Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

I agree. 'Boomer take' is less restricted to the generation and more a generic 'old person yells at ' that anyone can develop.

It just so happens our generations are most familiar with folk in the boomer and Gen X range complaining about mundane things and actively interfering with joy and progress. Therefore they get the 'out of touch generation' award (regardless of anomalies)
