Is anybody else really terrified of becoming a boomer?
I don't mean terrified of becoming older, I'm fine with that. But terrified to become the stereotypical boomer: entitled, out of shape, ugly, balding, out of touch, with cringey views and sense of humor, dumb hobbies, afraid of growing up, etc.
>entitled, out of shape, ugly, balding, out of touch, with cringey views and sense of humor, dumb hobbies, afraid of growing up, etc.
it's not a boomer package, user. you will get out of touch, you veyr possibly will have a cringey sense of humor. but you don't have to be out of shape.
btw Boomer was a brand of chewing gum in 90s Poland:

I think you are confusing boomer with gamer
All that but not entitled and lifting is my dumb hobby. It'll be ok OP, join us. Home gym master race.
>entitled, out of shape, ugly, balding, out of touch, with cringey views and sense of humor, dumb hobbies, afraid of growing up, etc.
Sounds like a pretty based way to live desu
It's inevitable, user. Every new generation's children/teens will always find some things interesting to them that will look insanely stupid to you and make you out of touch.
youtube.com
I'm not afraid of SHIT!
apart from snakes.
Not liking what kids/teens like is natural, but it is kind of sad when boomers talk about their tastes in music, film, comedy, culture in general and it becomes clear that they have stopped evolving when they were in their 20s.
You should be learning, evolving and growing throughout your whole life bro.
at least post the accompanying video

stfu zoomer.
>go to gym
>HERE I AM
>ROCK YOU LIKE A HURRICANE
Unironically happened today
No. What a strange thing to worry about.
>enter my hometown gym
>full of boomers
>YOU'RE LISTENING TO CLASSIC ROCK 98.1
>"Yep Dave, I have to put the Trans Am away for the winter this weekend"
>"only 2 more child support payments to go, Bill"
>"Fucking kids, always walking in with their wet shoes"
Its a good song to lift to lil fella
Ive never been to a gym so poor and so uncaring for the clientele that they used an actual radio station and not curated playlists
realize that our generation will play video games when we're old.
and the next generation will find something insanely stupid to do.
lol, well picture all the boomer memes you've ever seen on Jow Forums, that is what this gym is like.
And I love it
Would be even more accurate if the zoomer was riding a scooter. I will never understand why zoomers think scooters are cool.
Why my shitty 24h fitness gym blasts only ghetto nigger music?
Being a boomer is the ultimate redpill. Look at how at ease with himself that guy is. Life is good now, fuck everyone else and their expectations.
>online dating
Nope going fishing
>keeping up with gay $300 shoe trends
Nope same pair of comfy New Balance shoes for the past 6 years
>sifting through the heaping pile of filth that is todays modern media and forcing yourself to like it so you have something to talk to co-workers about on Monday
Nope gonna cuck the local mechanic out of shekels by youtubing how to service my car and get drunk doing it
I've managed to integrate myself into the boomers that lift midday and I love it.
>Always nice and encouraging
>Actual life experience with solid advice to give
>High energy and lift hard as fuck that motivates me to push harder
>Funny as fuck with top tier banter
How old are you? I'm 30 and lift in a college town. Was wondering if I college kids going to be interested in talking to me.
>Look at how at ease with himself that guy is. Life is good now, fuck everyone else and their expectations.
And when did that become a good thing?
This is like how when people praise those fat women posing half-naked on Instagram and compliment them on their freedom. As if letting yourself go of social pressures and expectations is some magic formula for happiness.
This is movie shit. In real life people who do that usually just lose self-awareness, grow detached, and instead of finding this magic fulfilment that everyone talks about they just retreat into childhood fantasies and ideas of being cool/happy. This is why you see those MGTOW guys who are 45 bragging about 5k gaming PC with their "I don't need no woman to be happy!" cope. Shit, I'm sure this is what every internet lolcow thinks as well, "hey I'm just being me".
I honestly think that just doing what you feel like doing is a recipe for disaster. In some cases, it can lead to a really tragic state of affairs. I hate to be the middle of the road guy, but you have to find a happy medium between caring too much about what others think and not caring at all. Stay grounded on reality. When you age, you have to be vigilant. You need to make an effort. Make an effort to take care of your health, your finances, your job, your family, and you also need to make an effort to stay in tune with society or you'll just be left behind and become the stereotypical out of touch moron.
k.
To be honest, they seem happy precisely because they are oblivious, i mean, retards seem pretty happy
>and you also need to make an effort to stay in tune with society or you'll just be left behind and become the stereotypical out of touch moron.
Modern society is absolute poison. Make enough money to support yourself, find a small rural community and live the comfy life.
Holy shit, we had this in Spain too, i miss it desu
I've been been stuck with the fear of getting older since I was 11. Probably because my early childhood was awesome and everything following it ranges from ok to plain awful. I think I associate age with pain.
Did we just find the actual boomer?
unironically this.
Well I'm 25 do I'm getting there
You wouldn't be happy doing that tb h
You wouldn't be happy trying to "stay in tune" with a culture you hate tb h
I think I already am one
Only just realized how different I am to the 18 year olds I work with
>t. 26 y/o
>Modern society is absolute poison. Make enough money to support yourself, find a small rural community and live the comfy life.
This. I'm about 100k away, I need about 3 more years - and I'll have enough to buy a 200k house for cash. Then I relocate out of the city, step down my hours/income, but have more actual money to spend. Above all else in life, work hard - but have time to enjoy being alive.
You will die.
I'd rather be the boomer any day
What you're describing is a r*dditor, user, not a boomer.
In my country the fact that old guys are always on watching porn on their phones in public, including in public transport, has become a national meme. I would rather die before I grow old enough to lack self awareness this much tbqhwyaf.
can't wait until nu-zoomers are running around doing gay shit online and I can be there, complaining about how the internet used to be
it's already happening but I want everyone from the real start of the internet to be dead so I have the most authority
32 year old boomer here:
> Listening to classic rock
> Gym in my garage
> BBQs on the weekend
> Light beer is good because you can just keep drinking it to maintain a chill buzz
> Not giving a fuck
"We're all going to make it" is referring to this lad
What country?
>lack self awareness
maybe they're aware but just don't give a fuck anymore
Embrace it, user.
holy shit that music brings back some fond memories. They just don't make the tony hawk games like they used to
Dude I'm 24 and I can already feel the boomerness creeping on. I got my first real "grownup job" (full time, full benefits) and I can feel the office life wearing at me. My boss wants us to stay in extra hours often and I'm so scared of losing my first serious job that I stay in until 7:00 routinely, come home and skip the gym. My co-workers bring donuts and shit to the office all the time and I lost the ability to say no. I broke up with my first long term (3 years) girlfriend and I'm losing the ability to socialize with new people and have forgotten how to flirt. I don't go out anymore and lately I've been staying home replaying X-Box 360 games and drinking alone.
Fucking help me Jow Forums.
did you guys play midnight club 3?

33 year old boomer here. Embrace it. You won't be able to change it. When you get older you will find that a lot of stuff you cared about in your early twenties does not mean shit on the long run. Just don't be a dick about it. And don't try do be one of those douchebags who pretend to young and hip till they are in their fourties. There is nothing more cingy than some old fart trying to blend in with "the kids".
Start doing what actually gives meaning to your life and fulfills you as a person. I was in law school, going at my 3rd year. I was pretty good too but I never really felt like it was something I wanted to do other than to get money. So I just said fuck it and became a firefighter. Best decision of my life because I absolutely love my job, I get to put my values where my mouth is which helps me grow as a person. We're all boomers too but because the line of work is so romantized we can literally just say "looking good tonight ladies" and the waterfalls flow. You don't have to follow in my footsteps but look inside yourself and be TRUTHFUL to yourself, find what gives you meaning. Don't get stuck in a life you know 100% you'll regret.
Stop being a bitch.
That's it.
Get your priorities straight. What is important to you? Work out what's important to you then it will become clear.
For me it slowly became the exact opposite, getting older made me more wise and i develeoped lots of ways to handle my own bullshit. Having learned how to meet inner and outer expectations gave me more freedom than i ever expected i could have. And i am just getting started.
>upholder masterrace
boomerism is awesome, don't fear the inevitable!
Hey, I'm a mortgage broker and I'm thinking of getting out and getting a job as a firefighter trainee for a private company that serves airports. Can you tell me more about it? I'm tired of this white collar life but I'm scared to make the jump. I have enough savings to carry me at least six months, more if I lower my expenses.
This thread made me sad lol
I'm getting old
This is it man. You're at crossroads. You can either pick the "let life carry me along without resistance" road and in five years you'll be a perfect boomer, or you can find a way to preserve your individuality and your self-worth even if your circumstances are not favorable. You need to find a way to be always trying new things, meeting new people, keeping your body and your mind sharp. Don't let the borg assimilate you.
>There is nothing more cingy than some old fart trying to blend in with "the kids".
Yes, there is. You.
DON'T. BELIEVE. THEIR. LIES.
All the people here acting like haha yeah being a boomer is awesome I love it are miserable. Completely fucking miserable.
plz to share the secret of happyness o wise zoomer
How old are you user?
I am almost 30 and I look 15, my aging genetics are on point.
With that being said I am afraid of growing up, considering most people around my age look terrible and look/sound miserable almost all of the time.
I'm 23 and a most of my friends have graduated and gotten professional jobs or moved to other states for work and honestly a lot of them seem to be suffering.
I'm living the NEET life right now after college and honestly I'm scared to start an "adult" life. My friends will humblebrag about their 50-60 hour work weeks but they're all drained and suffering. I want to party like we used to in college but they say it's immature of me to want to do that, and yet they aren't happy or having fun. They're just suffering through punishing work schedules and hating life and congratulating themselves for suffering at Schlomo's Schecklecorp the most.
t. jellymad zoomer
>My friends will humblebrag about their 50-60 hour work weeks but they're all drained and suffering
I love this. The race to the bottom.
>hey I'm living a horrible suffocating life but that's proof of how much of a serious grow up I am okay? haha
I also see this a lot, it's fucking disheartening to see that in order to be "successful" you need to destroy your mind and body working for someone else and maybe get one good girl down the line who's willing to be the mother of your children and pray that she doesn't end up cheating or leaving you and leeching off of you for the rest of your live.
I have seen most people's relationships and they all seem terrible to me, my male friends get treated badly by their partners, it seems like they almost make themselves tolerate all of it because they know they can't get kids if they don't let their women rule their lives.
I want kids but I am blackpilled af right now over what's next for all of us in the future.
based!
>out of touch, with cringey views and sense of humor, dumb hobbies, afraid of growing up
This is you right now tho
Mine does
But 9/10 people wear headphones.
Fucking 24hr Fitness plays the shittiest music of all time
I think I already am becoming one.
>want to take care of a yard and grow crops
>want to look good in a suit
>unironically enjoying Devil Woman by Cliff Richard
You know what the boomer stereotype is though, OP?
Happy.
I just now noticed that the ship is named SS College Fund. WEW
>scared of growing out of touch with shitposting and meme culture
LISTEN HERE BOY...THERE AIN"T NOTHING WRONG WITH HAVING MOPAR AS A HOBBY...KIDS THESE DAYS DON"T WORK ON CARS THESE DAYS....REAL SHAME...
>old enough to remember life before the internet
>young enough to be young on the internet
>still remember the original rules of the internet
Nah nigga, we'll be the secret source of meme trickle down until the day we die.
Age? 45 here. Ask us old boomers anything
best meme you've seen?
Not sure. The first time I saw the webm with the deer and Phil Collins “in the air”” I almost pissed myself
Rural communities are full of dumb slack-jawed retards
user admires the boomer because he is true to himself and genuinely content, not because he has dated interests and likes being comfortable.
30 year old boomer here.
Getting older isn't just a number, your metabolism slows down and you find it harder to stay slim, you start losing hair and looking uglier even though you look after yourself and work out. There is nothing you can do about it.
Our sense of humour only seems cringe because we can't tell real jokes around zoomers because at least half of you guys are SJW's who will complain about any off colour joke.
As for having dumb hobbies and being afraid of growing up? People don't grow up anymore, you don't suddenly stop liking the music you grew up with and start listening to classical music. The hobbies and interests you have in your late teens and early 20's are the ones you will keep for the rest of your life. In 20 years time there will be kids complaining about their parents playing Fortnight.
Literally born in the wrong generation.
Now the 30 year old boomer meme is actually pretty good. Work on your car, have a steady relationship, ignore trends, watch movies, drink and BBQ while the rest are trying to be the perfect zoomer. Trying to learn how to speak like a nigger, spending your entertainment money on roids and sneakers hoping it will make that 6/10 thot on Tinder swipe on you and schedule you in for her Thursday free meal and dicking. The most pathetic thing I've seen on here is a dating profile thread where all you faggots pretended that Taylor Swift was your favorite artist and you were all into photography and nature. You people are not real. You are just robots living an never ending train of body dismorphia, trying to fit in and putting pussy on the pedestal.
