I caught myself lecturing a young recently hired colleague about about the correct use of boomer, and realized as I was talking that the kids have rewritten the rules when I was busy being old
Young people don’t care about generation labels. The only divide is young vs old (with “old” being anyone older than them obviously). And “boomer” is a fun word to use as a pejorative. The fact that it makes people mad when used “incorrectly” makes it even better.
I’d be more annoyed about the misuse of “boomer” than about being called “old”.
Ok Boomer… /s

Yeah I’m getting grey hair but I CERTAINLY don’t deserve getting lumped in with Boomers.
