If anon's parents are boomers, wouldn't that make them at least thirty?
Boomer, used as a pejorative term, doesn't mean someone born between 1946 and 1964. It never has.
It's always been a dismissive term for an older person with outdated ideas. Every young generation has one.
No, it always has. Some dumb kids just thought that it meant "anyone over the age of thirty," which is dumb.
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 (An answer hilariously apt in a meta way) and she told me it to her it meant person with outdated opnion.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
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.
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.
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.
The term boomer is going to outlive boomers, so all you Gen X, millennials, etc get used to being called that.
Its okay. Hope the people younger then me have fun however they can. Play safe yall, the world is a dangerous place.
1979 is solidly Gen X by any definition.
But yeah, oof.
Yes, but that does require the assumption that a person who is standmaxxing does use the term boomer correctly.

Nono, anon IS a boomer
