By "like this" I assume anon means "this bad at raising their kids to be sane and decent people".

If anon's parents are boomers, wouldn't that make them at least thirty?
I (46) was jokingly called a boomer by a 25ish at work and quitely told her I am GenX. Her reply was whats that? (An answer hilariously apt in a meta way) and she told me it to her it meant person with outdated opnion.
The opinion was me not wanting to use AI but rely on my own knowledge in an area I quite frankly am close to being an expert in. No dunning Kruger expert either.
And I am born august 79 so neither really gen x or millennial
It's ironic that wanting to use one's own brain makes someone a "boomer." I know not all baby boomers are as intellectually-lazy as the ones I grew up under, but considering that's one trait that I've seen a lot from that cohort, this is weird to see.
1979 is solidly Gen X by any definition.
But yeah, oof.
According to sources, and by that I meam wikipedia, gen x is up to 1980. Me being born four months before that line is very young gen x or very old millennial. Considering how I started uni when I was 25 most of my contemporaries are millennials, so I kind if feel like that my self
Conversely, I find in general anyone born before 1985 is more Gen X than millennial.
The term boomer is going to outlive boomers, so all you Gen X, millennials, etc get used to being called that.
1980 here. I consider myself genx. I'm on the side of the line that was too old to get super into pokemon/SpongeBob/Harry Potter. For me that's where millennial begins.
I’m on the side of the line that was too old to get super into pokemon/SpongeBob/Harry Potter
Please explain that to my genX parents who need to read some new books and watch some new shows...
Then I am squarly a gen x myself. So Masters of the Universe, GI Joe/Action Force and by a stretch TMNT
Yep, that sounds familiar
We call ourselves xellenials
It's because boomer != baby boomer. It's basically the same term as fogie or old-timer. Just the youths dismissive perjorative for older generations.
We all had one.
Yes, but that does require the assumption that a person who is standmaxxing does use the term boomer correctly.
Boomermaxxing
You're never too old to practice Standmaxxing™️!
Nope. A boomer is anybody older than you whom you disagree with, just like millennials are those younger than you who you disagree with and Gen Z are those younger than you who uses a social network you dislike.
Nope, it's short for "baby boomer."
Nope, it's short for "baby boomer."
Hey everyone, this boomer doesn't understand jokes.
🙄
Nono, anon IS a boomer

TIL I've been Sitmaxxing my entire life. I never miss an opportunity.
I'm liedownmaxxing, not sleepmaxing, just liedownmaxxing.
TIL there's a thing called standmaxing...
You can -maxx pretty much anything nowadays. I'm currently replymaxxing
An entertaining thing to do is to give a *-maxxing individual additional opportunities to *. Then, if they do not take advantage of it, claim they are only *-averaging.
Anyway, I posted this zero seconds ago and I don't see a reply yet.
I saw some graffiti that simply read "DEATHMAXXING?" and I still think about that pretty regularly
Bro wasn't standmaxxing, he was standgooning.
Standmaxxing will be required at my funeral.

Good ol’ religion. Compliance or being beaten. Like if god would actually give a shit if you stood.
nobody who uses the term maxxing has a boomer for a parent
