The whole Boomer self-image was based on hatred for their parents

>t. man whose child lost her mother to fentanyl

I think the best definition of a millennial is someone who remembers 9/11 as a kid.

>30 year old boomers complaining about their parents
yawn

I don't remember 9/11, but I remember the Spongebob episode that aired 4 days earlier.

The hippies used to say, don't trust anyone over 30, then that changed I guess when they hit 30.

And Google, YouTube, Wikipedia and Amazon (and honestly most of the 90's tech industry), and so many bands it's ridiculous. Pretty much anyone that's Gen X is now in their 40's, pushing their 50's (if not already in their early 50's) and the younger ones are in their late 30's. Think of any musician that's between 35 and 55 today that released an album you like - they're probably Gen X.
Yeah, sorta. Early Gen X either turned 20 roughly after the early 80's up through the 90's.

>my idea of conservative activism

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

The point being that the rebelling would eventually lead them to destroy much of what the parents established and eventually find something new

Are Gen Xers those guys that relate with The Dude, because I'm fine with them if that's the case

The Dude is a Boomer New Left burnout ("I was one of the authors of the Port Huron Statement.")

> met new boss
> same as old boss

I was 16 when 9/11 happened. What am I?

>Gen X invented cucked social media and faggy punk bands

This is completely retarded.
Boomers have nothing but respect for their parents. They're literally called the "Greatest Generation" in the US.

Born in '91. My parents were early Gen X.

Given the movie is set in 1991 and Jeff Bridges was in late 30s when it was recorded, putting The Dude's age at about... 40, he was probably a Boomer burnout. That said, if you want examples of Gen X movies - Breakfast Club, Bill and Ted, Slacker, Clerks... In terms of bands and artists:
>the entire math rock genre in its origins, from Slint to Don Caballero Americ anFootball
>pretty much everyone in post-hardcore
>literally everyone in grunge
>everyone in the lofi indie rock genre, from Malkmus to Pollard
>everyone in the original lineup of Pixies
>Husker Du
>Radiohead
>Aphex Twin
>actually, scratch that, everyone in the original bleeps scenes, Prodigy, Boards of Canada, literally everyone you name probably is Gen X
>Stone Roses
>the entire britpop movement
>The Smiths
>anyone in hip hop in the 90's and arguably up until the early 2000's, including Kanye
>literally everyone in shoegaze
>Mr. Bungle
>most people that has been playing jazz since the 90's including EST, Kevin Shea, Peter Evans, Craig Taborn and Dan Weiss
Millenial.

>More=better
This is what millennials actually believe

More does equal better because you can choose to not involve yourself in popular culture, which was previously not an option. If you don't like what the popular sphere as to offer, you don't have to listen to any of it. We have true freedom of choice now.

Not during the 60s. At that point it was all about "YOU FASCIST MIDDLE-AGED MIDDLE-CLASS MILITARY-INDUSTRIAL-COMPLEX CAPITALIST COP PIGS!"

Jeff Bezos (Amazon) is a Boomer. So is Bill Gates/Microsoft, Larry Ellison/Oracle, etc.

>Jeff Bezos
Definitely Gen X, if not straddling the line. That said, you're right about the other two. It's more about the ones that sprouted up during the 90's and early 2000's that were done by Gen X.

Fucking great post

>>now the whole Millennial self-image is based on hatred for their Boomer parents

My parents are Gen Xers

22 year old boomer here, I don't really hate my parents.

Nah you're thinking of the Silent Generation.

25 year old here with 73 and 65 year old parents

Generation x, generation strange.
Sun don't even shine through a window pane.
So go ahead and talk shit, talk shit about me, and go ahead and talk shit. About my g-g-generation!

Quit drinking those circa 1991.

This, it's Gen X that hated boomers.

Millennials love their Gen X parents, we also hate boomers.

Boomers can go eat a dick.

>generational tribalism
pathetic, grow the FUCK up !

GenX guy here, again.
Go sit at an all you can eat buffet at lunch, which is discounted for boomers.
Don't eat. The food is garbage.
Just watch the boomers in their strollers with their poopie pants.
Watch them go and go and go.
They are all overweight, damaged, disabled.
Getting older doesn't have to be like that.
I could be wrong. I'm 44 now, but,
At this point, I'm actually stronger than I ever was.
My boomer parents had settled into fatness long before.

>poopie pants
>overweight
>shart in mart
the memes are true, burgers btfo

breakfast Club -

no.

I believe cut-off for Boomers is 1965.
Could go either way.
That leaves guys like RDJ or the like (breakfast club) on the fringe.

>we

what if im gen z and hate both millenials and boomers

I remember Fight Club having the same themes about meandering youth without anything to get angry about or men without fathers or something to that effect and how it gave way to subtle trangression

Was things always as fucked up as it is now?

every generation hates and tries to rebel against the previous generation, the generation after us ill be anti-internet/technology and accuse us of being lazy whiny faggots

It's actually anywhere between 1960 and 1965.

shit son now u in

am gen z, already do this. you hit it right on the head mate

>people are still blaming out-groups for their problems

you don't say

Ya.
Every generation has some bullshit thrown at them from the powers that be.
For us, we were all going to be blown away in a nuclear showdown with the Soviets.
That was all fear-mongering.
Live your life.
Best thing you can do is compartmentalize what you hear on the news (or pol), and
Realize it is so much propaganda to keep the people in line.

It's abstract; maybe a state of mind.
Probably should have been my first stop on Jow Forums;
I'm a virtuoso musician who hates modern music tho.

>whose child lost her mother to fentanyl
You mean . . . his wife? Who died of a heart condition while tracking the Golden State Killer?

Boomers devoured every asset in their path to account for their lack of constraint.
They didn't use it to make society better;
They didn't even use it to give their children a better life.
They fed themselves until they shit their pants, and
Demanded the rest of society to take care of them when they were older.
It's the REAL reason that...
Government decided it was better to tax the shit out of the citizenry.
You will never have as much as a Boomer, and
You can thank them for that, and their lack of resolve and will power.

It was Gen X who hated Boomers. Millennials inheriting that hatred of Boomers is lame and rote. It's a cliche by now.

There's much more to hate about Gen X than about Boomers. Everything that stinks and is stale right now came from Gen X.

I mean, all those beady-eyed, bespectacled journalists and 'public thinkers' lecturing you on how to feel about Beyonce or whatever... those are Gen Xers. All the theory and the particular variety of progressivism that stuff is based in comes from identity politics and theory that Gen X made popular and increasingly institutionalized from the 70s - 90s. At this point, Gen X's values are the institution. Not the leading or cutting edge in culture (that comes from Millennials and younger), but the general media tone and politics is pure Gen X.

OH SHIT LE WRONG GENERATION too

Generations will always clash among the past and new. Not gonna lie though, speaking as a Gen Zer I can say Gen X was great parent generation but these millennial faggots sometimes really suck.

>boomer
>30
Maybe 30 years ago bro, but anyone 30 now is a millennial.

Boomers were born from the early to mid-1940s and ending anywhere from 1960 to 1964
They're called boomers because of the Post–World War II baby boom when everyone started shitting out kids because the war was over

Jeff Bezos is a Gen Xer. Gates and Ellison are boomers.

What the fuck is this boomer bullshit recently? I've never seen this shit outside of Jow Forums before.

Boomers don't go past the 50s. Otherwise you'd have to claim that a Gen Xer icon like Henry Rollins is a boomer and that's silly.

It's a memester who's been active lately on different boards.

You're probably underaged unless you subscribe to the "mid-late 90s is Gen Z" bullshit.

That was a small bunch of annoying college leftists who did that and those people wouldn't have called their parents the Greatest Generation anyway. They were the guys who would have said in 1938 that we should try to understand and reason with Hitler.

What do you consider Gen Z?

Obama was an early Gen Xer and his basic beliefs and life story were as typical of that generation as it gets, which is being a lazy slacker who doesn't aspire to anything more than mediocrity and getting stoned.

Not too bright are we

Obama was a boomer, mongo

I'm pretty sure he was attending a lot of campus protests or dropping acid when he was in the 3rd grade.

user, you fucking rube, Pete Townshend wrote My Generation, and you're a goddamn retard beyond that.

>There's much more to hate about Gen X than about Boomers.

Boomers had some unrealistic ideas about changing the world for the better, but arguably it was more uplifting than Gen Xers' beliefs which are mostly about being lazy, self-hating, and sadomasochistic.

>Woodstock
>40,000 people attended with just three deaths the whole four days and everyone got along incredibly well despite the shitty conditions, drugs, and lack of food and sleep
>Woodstock '99
>couldn't get through it without multiple riots and people being raped

Nice fucking music, you disgraceful fucking mental midgets.
