Boomers, Please Stop Doing These 12 Things That Annoy Everyone​

1. Stop Saying, “In My Day, Things Were Better Than They Are Now.”
2. Quit Complaining About Technology Like It’s Ruining the World.
3. Don’t Treat “Boomer Humor” Like It’s Universally Funny.
4. Please Stop Referring to Millennials and Gen Z as “Lazy.”
5. Enough with the Constant Weather Updates as Small Talk.
6. Stop Assuming Everyone Shares Your Political Views.
7. Please Don’t Give Unsolicited Advice Like You Know Best.
8. Don’t Act Like Younger Generations Don’t Know How to Work Hard.
9. Stop Using Outdated Slang Like It’s Still Cool.
10. Please Stop Acting Like Your Music Was the Only Music That Mattered.
11. Quit Expecting Everyone to Drop Everything to Call You Back.
12. Stop Assuming You’re Always the Most Experienced Voice in the Room.

Comment:
This sounds like a lot of baseless stereotyping.
Except for the one about music, it is true that Boomer music is far superior to today's music.
Boomers also had cooler cars and clothes.
The Boomers are who invented the personal computers, cellphones and the internet.
My one complaint about technology is all of the damn passwords.

You think todays kids have it tough?

Look at the Boomers in the 60s and 70s and how the “Greatest Generation” that went through the Depression and WWII viewed them

Long haired hippies who need a bath
Play that horrible, loud Rock and Roll music
Oppose fighting in a war
Druggies
Dress horribly in jeans and T Shirts
Support minorities and women’s rights

The Boomers heard the same shit from their elder generations.

Most Boomers grew up without cell phones and the only the latest ones in their high school years had simple computers with very limited capability and that also gave them a special blessing as they were neither tied to or consumed by or indoctrinated by technology.

They and the previous generations were indeed also blessed with music with great melodies, strong lyrics, and more inspiring literature. For the most parts their schools were safe and there weren't really any 'woke' requirements or restrictions on anything but rather more common sense and good manners was the societal custom.

However it might annoy the younger generations, I feel bad that they haven't been able to enjoy those blessings.

–Your grandma wore very short mini skirts, thin panties, high boots, and no bra...
–She listened to Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Janis Joplin, and Rolling Stones.
–She rode on motorcycles and fast cars.
–She smoked tobacco and other things...
–She drank gin-tonics, whiskey, and whatever...
–She came home at 4 am and left for work in the morning...
Know that you will never be as cool as your grandma.
Excuse me but someone had to say it!
What else did she do?

She also looked like she was 70 by the time she was 45. Boomer women have aged terribly.

I don't think we age any worse than the ones before us, most Americans both young and old need to get to moving and slow down on the eating.
When your old you want to look presentable not attractive. I don't agree with cosmetic surgery for older women.
I always put on lipstick and eyebrows. Makes me feel good.My 90 yr old MIL wore makeup into her 90s.
I like watching these women.https://youtu.be/-k_OKmM6jtg
