Isnt saying "Okay, Boomer" being more like a Baby Boomer?

Okay Boomer is the new "don't trust anyone over 30" that the Baby Boomers used to spout off back in the Hippie Era. Why would young people want to repeat their grandparents mistake?

The up and coming generation always has contempt for the older generations. It is as natural as teens rebelling against their parents. No one is forced to put a lot of importance on any label.

90% of the people that say 'okay boomer' don't even know what it means, was never a funny meme to begin with.

Just a meme.

[Richmondbread]

A meme that has been taken too far.

Young people in general are idiots because they were raised by a generation of dirty hippies. Society went to hell in the 1960s.

I don't think this was true for pre-20th century Western countries or much of the rest of the world for that matter. Reverence for elders and traditional wisdom and maintaining the cultural mores used to be the norm, especially say in Confucian societies of East Asia for example.

Yes. Wouldn't some of the Zoomer conservatives aka Nick Fuentes types realize that if they want to rebel against the norm, they would respect their elders instead of perpetuating the cycle left over from the 60s Generation libs?

Of course, in the 19th century, people were rather isolated compared to today. We can have instant communication with people everywhere. We get instant news. Our options with personal relationships are far greater than they were before the telephone let alone smartphones. That really was a different time.

More to the point, I do think it is part of being a young adult to question previous generations. Whether the hippys did it with blacklight posters or the young people using memes today. A couple of years ago, when I hit my 30s, I realized I had taken my parent's wisdom for granted. I also realized some of the things they thought were wisdom were pretty useless, but that is part of growing up too.

E. Roosevelt said, “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” If one wants to burden themselves with carrying around a meme, that is their red wagon. But just don't carry it past its own expiration date. Since it is a meme, it will be last week's' big thing' next week. Instant communication has its advantages, people move on to the next thing very quickly.

Nick Fuentes called you a "Boomer" in March. He probably doesn't even remember doing that.

Why are you still carrying it around?

He is nothing but an early 20 something begging for donations on the internet.
