I know this site is full of boomers. We also know this year has been a complete **** show. It was also during this shitshow that the internet coined COVID-19 as "boomer remover" (which they later realized wasn't accurate, because COVID-19 is killing the "Silent Generation.")
I find myself, as a millennial, having a ridiculous **** ton of hatred and anger towards boomers develop in the last 3 years but I couldn't figure out why it developed. It's not like school taught us this (or did it?); I'm not even part of the "I can't find a job and have to work min wage" graduate group.
So I decided to do some digging:
And then there's this:
So I'm curious, because this site is full of the most hated age group (and this isn't the playful **** talk, this is actual hatred; look at the links I posted), what are your thoughts on this? I like the "offmychest" most upvoted comment because it's the least emotionally loaded and not malevolent.
And just so I'm not generalizing too much (and I am): there have been some boomers I've met that are really cool during my riding life. They're always the ones that don't exhibit the "holier than thou" attitude very common among boomers (which I've also seen here.) But I've also learned that adopting a "holier than thou" attitude and hurling it right back at boomers for work politics tends to pacify the arrogant one, but this breeds a toxic environment.
