There's only two things I hate in this world: people who are intolerant of other people's generation, and the millennials.

i have respect for my grandparents so i dont call them this but when they bring up stuff i just nod becuase its better to let them ramble than sit there and argue with someone who could have a heart attack.

I guess it's to be expected. Boomers were raised in pure bliss, spent half their lives relatively stress-free. Everything was easy and cheap. When you live an easy life, you get used to being dumb, uninformed and lazy. The same would have probably happened to all zoomers in the same situation.

Note that this is mostly specific to North America, Western Europe, Japan and maybe a few other countries. Pretty much everywhere else boomers aren't all that different from zoomers, save for regular intergenerational differences.

I'm 45, so not a boomer but already too old to get any respect from people in their 30's (90% of my colleagues for example). Simply speaking about something they didn't experience (reading a map, installing an OS, meeting the love of your life without a dating app...) gets me a "Ok Boomer" each time so what do I do? I just shut the fuck up. I'm not worried, they'll be in my position very quickly.

Send them this. I'm sure they will get it.

They were channeling their inner Gen X with that one. "Whatever."

I always kinda wonder if they went the same experience of being misunderstood by their previous generation. Old people get inflexible and its also an indication the world is still changing alot with each generation. Still the lack of self reflection is astonishing.

When I was growing up, my mom loves using the phrase which would roughly translates to "while you are still going forward, I'm turning back", which is a thought terminating clichΓ© to mean do as she says because she has experience. She doesn't say it as much as she used to because she regrets having been a strict parent. But if she pulls that line again, I have a comeback ready to tell her "you've turned back, but the environment you grew up in changed".
