Lib and let die posted:Every year I ask myself this and every year new christmas music gets made by someone and I remember it's a genre of crap made to sell crap. sure, All I Want for Christmas Is You isn't good or anything, but goddamn, it at least sounds like it was made within the last three decades, it's a nice change of pace from endless Sinatra or whatever so here's to you, Mariah Carey, for briefly lifting my spirits by producing a song that is marginally less crap than all the competition

I don't know if Boomers are responsible for this but knowing Boomers, they are responsible for this. https://www.dollconnectionstore.com/annacarterbabies1.htm https://www.ashtondrake.com/std-che...&utm_source=URL This is probably worthy of it's own thread but I don't want to dive down this horrifying wormhole so that's all you guys

my A Christmas Story story is some boomer aunt and uncle love every second of that movie. they also thought the bunny suit scene was soooooooooo fuckin funny so said aunt sewed up a bunny suit for me, and everybody made me put it on for i think my 7th birthday or something, in the middle of summer. i was old enough to remember it being kind of humiliating. guess what kid never played baseball or football like they wanted, instead did musicals and turned into a big ole commie?

One kid goes "Hi, I'm Ross, I'm from The Villages. I know. Oh, and I study biology." Ross was apparently an oops baby whose parents moved to the Villages. They had to get a waiver to move a kid in to their house.

My parents are talking about moving to FL when they retire and "joking" about being pansexual polyams and I swear to gently caress if this is why I will throw myself into the ocean.

When I was taking the family to Disney world and somebody as The Villages had my dream guitar at the time for cheap In Craigslist (Red USA Jag $600). Even called and it seemed legit, But i knew I couldn’t cram it into the car so I let it go. Couple years later I found a comparable deal in blue and the guitar was terrible. So I sold it on the internet to great profit. That’s my story about The Villages. I’m glad that happened to me yet also sorry to inflict it on you. But if you’re in the area I bet you can make a lot flipping boomer guitars.

DACK FAYDEN posted:I have the most bizarre respect for Mariah Carey because she somehow managed to produce a Christmas song in 1994 that actually cracked the endless boomer wall of Christmas music If Christmas music wasn't absolute trash people would listen to it year round. On the subject of "new" Christmas song Paul McCartney's Wonderful Christmas time is honestly one of the worst songs I've ever heard.

I have four covers of Santa Baby on my traditional work Christmas playlist entirely because everyone else hates it and I am largely ambivalent to its existence as an aside Eartha Kitt owns

on the one hand smdh if you don't listen to the vince guaraldi trio christmas album year-round and skip the explicit carols depending on the season and your mood on the other hand i'd be very tempted to trade that album to oblivion in exchange for never hearing Wonderful Christmastime ever again for all eternity as well

Boomers in my experience love watching the same 5-10 movies all year on a rotating basis. For my in laws it’s Elf (they’ll watch it multiple times per day from October to February), White Christmas, The Hobbit trilogy (they think Tolkien’s books suck) and whatever new Marvel flick just got released. Nothing is worse than watching a comedy movie for the five hundredth time to the point nobody is laughing anymore and then coming back the next day to see everyone watching it the gently caress again.

Boomers love watching trash tv to feel better about themselves. "Wow, you ever seen that show Hoarders? Geez! I might let the house get a little messy but at least I'm not that bad!" Ok sure you're not as bad as the literal worst examples you can find. Congratulations. It still smells like cat piss in here and theres expired food from 2 years ago in your fridge. Yes I'm aware of the difference between an expiry date and a best before date. Throw that poo poo the gently caress out.

It’s a great movie if you want constant bright noisy cgi action that allows you to show off your new subwoofer and 4K big screen that you bought on credit.

Lib and let die posted:As bad as happy Christmas is, it's no same auld lang syne. Hey now, you only have to hear that one like once a year. There are also other versions, we've just locked into the Guy Lombardo and the Royal Canadians version from 1953. Interestingly GL&TRC did the new year's eve broadcasts from before they were on TV until 1976 when Dick Clark's Rocking New Years Eve took over. We've just been playing that version at midnight ever since. Ghost Leviathan posted:Boomers don't actually like or even process media. It's all just colours and noises to them that are familiar. That's what I noticed on my last two Christmases. In 2018, my dad watched a Christmas Day Dr. Who marathon all day long, which at some point started repeating episodes. And in 2019, I noticed that CNN, the channel he has on at least until lunch time, basically runs the same 4 out of 5 stories every hour.  ben shapino posted:Boomers love watching trash tv to feel better about themselves. When CNN time is over it's all House Hunters, and Property Brothers for my parents. I swear every time someone refuses a house because they don't have stainless steel appliances my parents just bust a gut. "Look how stupid these kids are rejecting this really great house because it doesn't have stainless steel appliances!"

My brother thankfully downloaded all of Law and Order, so my dad just constantly watches that instead of watching CBC Newsworld (24/7 news, but with less talking heads and more repeated news stories over and over and over again).
