Most of the bickering is between Gen-Xers and Gen-Zers. Keep us millenials and Boomers out of it!

I keep seeing these phrases used out of context. Making it seem like there is some sort of cultural war going on against millenials and boomers.

Okay, first off...

- Baby boomers aren't the ones sitting on the internet all day arguing with you. Baby boomers fall in the range of those born between 1946 and 1964. They're the offspring of soldiers who came from World War II, realized how short life is, and started having lots of babies.

Everyone says "okay, Boomer," but do y'all really think there are that many people debating you in nursing homes?

A millenial (A.K.A. "Gen Y") were born between the range of 1981-1996. Affectionately dubbed so because the oldest became adults around the turn of the millenium (the 2000s). We were the "omg, Y2k is gonna end us!" kids and young adults.

This... is a fuckin' ZOOMER. The generation born after millenials...

All of your frustrations about mumble rap, fortnight, no work ethic, etc. should be directed toward them, not us!

Now, this is a millenial:

We have families and mortgages, and not (at least for the most part) doing dumb challenges on Tik-Tok.

I take it most of the people arguing online are between the Generation X-ers who grew up watching Dawson's Creek and tying sweaters around the waist of their overalls like Joey Lawrence... and kids who grew up not knowing what a Smartphone is.

Most millennials are boomers.

Baby boomer is not the same as a boomer. Baby boomers are really old.

This is true. You guys haven't really caused much trouble.

Boomers are blamed for: screwing up the economy, making it so that their offspring cannot afford houses all while bragging about how hard they worked, while many type with one finger at a time.

Millenials are blamed for being lazy, whiny, hypersensitive, and "killing" every industry.

Gen Xers are the cool guys who put on some Kurt Cobain, lit a few blunts and called it a day!
 
I'm an early Millenial(Google "Oregon Trail Generation"). I'm pretty sure the stereotypes about Millenials typically are typically pertaining to late Millenials(i.e., born in the 90's). But even they are pushing 30. So I feel like the distinctions are gradually disappearing.
 
1980 here, we are truly the unique in betweener

Not quite gen x, not millennial
 
When people say ok Boomer they're using it as an insult, telling a genx person they're acting like an old man.

It's like when you tell a dude to quit being such a girl. It's just an insult. It would have zero effect if you said it to an actual girl.

Also, millennials get blamed because they're the first generation to suck. All generations since then have been whiny and entitled.

If that description doesn't fit you then don't defend millennials. Just be proud of yourself for being the best of a generation.

You said it best..."out of context".
The internet has always gravitated towards certain phrases.
We use it until we find something else to jump on...whether it means anything or not.

We, are the forgotten generation, misplaced, neglected and misshapen.

We're the ones caught in the middle...the abyss, so easy for everyone to shun and dismiss.
Eyes closed and the light will never shine through, it's as fucked up for me as it is for you.
Stand up stand up to the sound of the xers, finding our way through parade of wealth flexers.

Here we are...standing alone, screaming into the night, just banging on this phone.
Typing away to others to hear...the xers are coming, we have nothing to fear lol.
