    Ok, Boomer

    July 31, 2020
    Disney Channel

    Bye, boomer: the coming cull of workers over 50

    I guess we should all brace for everyone 50+ to start being called boomers now that millennials are on the cusp of 40.

    I’ve Been Waiting For This Moment For All of My Life

    June 16, 2020

    And yet, if now millennials are middle-aged, what does that mean for Gen X?

    What the hell? I was looking forward to beig old enough to complain about the next generation and suddenly it has skipped us and we are getting it from both sides. I feel cheated

    — Paul Gillings (@Dunedan) June 14, 2020

    I love every gen Z teen mocking Millennials but also it feels slightly unfair that we’re getting it from both sides. Aren’t you supposed to be going after your parents? How has Gen X been dodging these generational bullets since like 1995

    The millennial/zoomer conflict is a pysop to distract us from the boomers

    — Ken Klippenstein (@kenklippenstein) June 14, 2020

    Gen Z will never grasp the unmatched glory of writing a pointless note on a piece of notebook paper, folding it up like a football, and punting it across the room at your friend, then doing that 200 more times that day. https://t.co/FsMfpf6cIU

    Shacking Up

    May 3, 2020
    Yes, I realize boomers aren’t in their nineties.

    In a jauntily titled article, “My Retirement Plan Is You,” ostensibly about boomer parents moving in with millennial children, a 45-year-old child and 53-year old parent are both featured, and I can’t let this Gen X erasure stand.

    Just Take Those Old Records Off the Shelf (Permanently)

    February 24, 2020

    I used to get miffed that no one was advertising to me. But two recent commercials have me rethinking that stance. Take these embarrassments back, please.

    I can’t decide if Domino’s and Quickbooks are specifically trying to target Gen X with Risky Business and Karate Kid references or if they are the products of creatives who are so out of touch, they think 30-year-old movies somehow resonate with 20-somethings.

    Whither Jennifer and Meghan?

    January 4, 2020

    I enjoy Sarah Miller’s writing, and this essay, “My So-Karen Life” is no exception.

    Yet, in all of that “Karen” nonsense, which by next week will be a forgettable end-of-2019 blip, Karen is at heart a Boomer name, not Gen X. Karen might as well be a Linda or a Debbie. 

    Jennifer is the Gen X mascot, obviously.

    Take This Job and Shove It

    September 18, 2019

    That’s how millennials and Gen Z-ers are playing the game — it’s not about jumping up titles, but moving into better work environments. They’re like silent fighters, rewriting policy under the nose of the boomers.

    Ariel Coleman, 28, Portland resident, in The New York Times’ “Young People Are Going to Save Us All From Office Life“

    Ok, I guess. I also know quite a few Gen X-ers who were once gainfully employed and can’t get another even semi-ok full-time job to save their lives. I don’t see myself getting hired to work in an office environment ever again.
