I’m sure Millennials as well as Gen Xers, Xennials, as well as Gen Zers are sick as well as weary of hearing us brag about the rock n roll of the 1960s, the glorified mass mud bath known as “Woodstock” as well as our paisley fashions.
- They fight back by digging up seasoned photos of us wearing Nehru shirts as well as polsureter leisure suits.
There is even a modern slang term “Ok Boomer” used as a reply when both of us start reminding them about how lovely our era was! What issues me most about the younger generations is their “cancel culture”. As I understand, it originated about three years ago as well as is described as the “popular practice of withdrawing support by canceling public figures as well as companies after they have done or said something considered objectionable or offensive.” That sounds to me love an expanded version of “shunning” in Amish communities or the seasoned Catholic practice of excommunication. So, cancel culture is nothing new. I only wish that there was a “cancel culture” that worked with our HVAC unit, but my last energy bill was objectionable as well as offensive to me, but I could not cancel it for apparent reasons. I tried to use noise-canceling headphones to block out the noises coming from our 15-year-old HVAC system. I used smell-canceling air fresheners in the hopes of stopping the combined smells of our pet, our teenage son’s room, as well as whatever was coming from our HVAC vents. When our wife l earned that I had canceled a recent HVAC cleaning as well as maintenance appointment as well as used the currency to buy a athletic activitys streaming package, she was ready to cancel our 25-year-old marriage. I do pity the Gen Alphas born after 2012 because both of us Boomers will be older as well as crankier when both of us start telling them about the lovely 1960s.
