Local Weather posted:Everything led back to the 60s. Best music, coolest people, best actors and actresses, all culture that came from the 60s was great and everything else was just crap. The Beatles will always be the best band, Pink Floyd, Zepplin, etc. the only music that mattered. These people would get on TV and radio and reinforce this over and over until a lot of younger people just believed it.  I remember sometime in probably 1994 hoping that my dad would be appreciative that I wasn't listening to rap music, I played some Stone Temple Pilots. His response was "that was crap," and then I got a massive lecture about how the 70's was the best time for music because rock in the 50's was too immature, and then it grew up in the 70's, and now it's all crap. There was definitely a big time dislike of rap music distilled in my parents, so I always listened to that in secret.

My mom's a boomer and she's pretty cool. My dad turned into kind of an rear end in a top hat but I yelled at him really good the last time he tried to "debate" politics with me. So my mom yelled at him and now he's not allowed to share his awful opinions with me anymore. So my boomer parents are pretty ok. Sure, they're near poverty because my dad refuses to get a living-wage job if it's not working for Mother Church and must drive a new pick up truck every four years but they're otherwise harmless. As an entitled millennial I'm confused as to why we're furthering the division in our country by making GBS threads on everything that isn't like us socially or politically. It's the exact same thing they are doing! I'm not defending Nazis or CHUDs I'm just tired of people saying they want my mom dead. They're poor, ok? Leave mine specifically alone. Oh and my cool professors... and redm... and Joe Biden... and Bernie... does it piss you off that I'm typing like this...?

Another post for you, my friend on Something Awful. Boomers like: My dog When I address them with respect Geniune questions about things they experienced Discussions about politics that don't result in screaming Having their computer problems explained in plain language Learning to use their computer when instructed how to with patience and maybe a little piece of paper you leave behind with instructions Help with manual labor tasks their bodies are starting to struggle with Ignoring their inherent biases AM radio Prarie Home Companion The cheapest drat drug dealer phones Wal Mart Pollution, apparently Complaining about gender norms shifting Avidly reading National Geographic denying climate change Donations to the "build Trump's wall" Kickstarter Expression of utter disbelief that my black best friend is a successful engineer Saying some racist poo poo about Mexicans Backpedaling when I explain my mom's family is Mexican. Rambling Facebook op eds nobody asked for Ben Smash fucked around with this message at 13:33 on Apr 9, 2019 |

The following phrases: "I don't think the service was very good, let's not leave a tip." "I don't think we should hire this new kid, he seems like a smart rear end. That girl with the big tits, what's her deal?" "The old ball and chain and I are going to the lake house this weekend."

Hey my parents are alright too. Never mind that they've voted for a party and a president that would strip their own daughter of her rights and actively refuse certain things out of sheet spite... More efficient lightbulbs? Ridiculous plot by the liberals Coal power? Yes it must be great since when we were children it was used. Bring it back! How can global warming be real? Nothing a human can do will affect the whole planet! Etc... ... I don't think anyone is saying your parents as specific human being are bad people, but the boomers as a group hold some pretty destructive beliefs and are willing to act on those beliefs in ways that are sometimes hard to believe.

Local Weather posted:Hey my parents are alright too.  Almost everything I've done in my life that has helped or forced me to grow as a person was done to prove my dad's opinions are stupid. My mom is still cool, though. So's my aunt. Both are pretty woke, which rules. They're extremely light skinned so much so that they're essentially white ladies. So when people hear them start chatting with each other in Spanish or the service staff in Spanish they just about lose their minds. It's awesome to see in real time. The point I failed to make is that there is an extremely vocal portion of boomers on the internet suddenly and now it's ALL BOOMERS MUST DIE. IDGI I'm probably just being willfully stupid about this; I still have trouble understanding why you would want to be a Nazi in 2019 when there are so many rad people and food and music you are missing out on. I'm the stoned hippie in the corner actively wishing chill vibes on all the world's people. Take my posts with a grain of salt, I suppose.

Being white and arguing that "only a minority of whites owned slaves, why should I care?". Being white and travelling internationally, never going further than 30 feet from the resort, and saying "You know it's a real shame there are so many poor people right by the hotel, it really spoils the trip." Believing Regan was anything other than a dementia-riddled hate-filled old man who probably jerked off to pictures of dead brown kids.

I’ve never seen an age group who will as quickly get angry and shout how you’re wrong and dumb for trying to calmly say whatever insane thing they just said about any topic isn’t quite true . -weird diets . Atkins . Keto . Anything like that -judge Judy because she fuckin’ tells it like it is ! -huge houses that make absolutely no sense for 2 people . complaining how hard it is to maintain despite the fact they wanted the huge house because they earned it . -clicking on those obvious fake ads on the sidebar those fake pictures like you won’t believe what he said ...top ten reasons investors hate him ...or playing games on really suspect websites that will overload every extension with stupid crap - a terrible quality JPEG stretched out to be the desktop wallpaper -spending thousands to buy a dog or getting a 4000 dollar operation on a dog -the police 👮♀️

Telling everyone to just suck it up because "life sucks and then you die" and because it sucked for them. Complaining because they faced the slightest bit of resistance to their stupid idea, or had to justify an incorrect belief, or had to question their worldview in any way at all. Believing that they're the underdogs despite controlling basically everything in the entire world. Getting mad at a generation of people because Twitter blocked them for puking out too much stream of consciousness racism in one day. Masturbating to increasingly niche pornography.
