I (46) was jokingly called a boomer by a 25ish at work and quitely told her I am GenX. Her reply was whats that? (An answer hilariously apt in a meta way) and she told me it to her it meant person with outdated opnion.
The opinion was me not wanting to use AI but rely on my own knowledge in an area I quite frankly am close to being an expert in. No dunning Kruger expert either.
And I am born august 79 so neither really gen x or millennial
It’s ironic that wanting to use one’s own brain makes someone a “boomer.” I know not all baby boomers are as intellectually-lazy as the ones I grew up under, but considering that’s one trait that I’ve seen a lot from that cohort, this is weird to see.
According to sources, and by that I meam wikipedia, gen x is up to 1980. Me being born four months before that line is very young gen x or very old millennial. Considering how I started uni when I was 25 most of my contemporaries are millennials, so I kind if feel like that my self
1980 here. I consider myself genx. I’m on the side of the line that was too old to get super into pokemon/SpongeBob/Harry Potter. For me that’s where millennial begins.
Nope. A boomer is anybody older than you whom you disagree with, just like millennials are those younger than you who you disagree with and Gen Z are those younger than you who uses a social network you dislike.
Point is flying right over your head. Current, updated, slang usage does not address your patently incorrect assertion that it never refered to the baby boomer generation. It became a pejorative as part of referring exactly to that generation and then was expanded and generalized to older people. Exactly the same way Millennial commentary started out pointed at exactly that generation and then became generalized to a rolling window of “those young people”. Even though the actual millennials are in their early 40s and late 30s now.
An entertaining thing to do is to give a *-maxxing individual additional opportunities to *. Then, if they do not take advantage of it, claim they are only *-averaging.
Anyway, I posted this zero seconds ago and I don’t see a reply yet.
At my funeral there will be no seats. Only other empty coffins i has rented for my special occasion. Everyone will get to lay in a coffin with me at the same time.

TIL I’ve been Sitmaxxing my entire life. I never miss an opportunity.
I love sitting so fucking much. 99% of my jobs have been on my feet for the whole day.
I’m liedownmaxxing, not sleepmaxing, just liedownmaxxing.
By “like this” I assume anon means “this bad at raising their kids to be sane and decent people”.
If anon’s parents are boomers, wouldn’t that make them at least thirty?

1979 is solidly Gen X by any definition.
But yeah, oof.

Conversely, I find in general anyone born before 1985 is more Gen X than millennial.

Please explain that to my genX parents who need to read some new books and watch some new shows…
Then I am squarly a gen x myself. So Masters of the Universe, GI Joe/Action Force and by a stretch TMNT
Yep, that sounds familiar
We call ourselves xellenials
The term boomer is going to outlive boomers, so all you Gen X, millennials, etc get used to being called that.
Its okay. Hope the people younger then me have fun however they can. Play safe yall, the world is a dangerous place.
It’s because boomer != baby boomer. It’s basically the same term as fogie or old-timer. Just the youths dismissive perjorative for older generations.
We all had one.
Yes, but that does require the assumption that a person who is standmaxxing does use the term boomer correctly.
Boomermaxxing
You’re never too old to practice Standmaxxing™️!
Nono, anon IS a boomer
Nope. A boomer is anybody older than you whom you disagree with, just like millennials are those younger than you who you disagree with and Gen Z are those younger than you who uses a social network you dislike.
Nope, it’s short for “baby boomer.”
Hey everyone, this boomer doesn’t understand jokes.
🙄
Boomer, used as a pejorative term, doesn’t mean someone born between 1946 and 1964. It never has.
It’s always been a dismissive term for an older person with outdated ideas. Every young generation has one.
No, it always has. Some dumb kids just thought that it meant “anyone over the age of thirty,” which is dumb.
No, it hasn’t. Boomer and Baby Boomer are two different things.
The fact that you can’t accept the new lingo basically makes you a boomer.
The fact that you have zero understanding of etymology basically makes you a child.
The fact that boomer is derived from baby boomer doesn’t mean they share a definition.
The fact that you don’t understand that is concerning.

So I’m going to assume that you also believe that “Millennial” as a pejorative term never had anything to do with the Millennial generation.

You can -maxx pretty much anything nowadays. I’m currently replymaxxing

I saw some graffiti that simply read “DEATHMAXXING?” and I still think about that pretty regularly
Standmaxxing will be required at my funeral.

OOP should’ve made his stand fight his dad. Smh
Bro wasn’t standmaxxing, he was standgooning.
nobody who uses the term maxxing has a boomer for a parent
Good ol’ religion. Compliance or being beaten. Like if god would actually give a shit if you stood.
The dad was beatmaxxing
