But there is.
So we're the sons and daughters of boomers, assuming you guys are 18-30
Of course you guys are really missing the whole picture by leaving our the 30 year old boomers
Somewhere in that region
Have you ever tried to get a Boomer to remember something very very important that contradicts something they thought they knew?
It's impossible.
Fucking impossible.
I haven't tried to be honest
Can't blame them for music being shit
My parents aren't full of shit because my mom was raised in Catholic school. I think there's a trend between boomers raised in strict catholic homes and their kids not being little shits
And I'm not trying to play a "holier than thou" card
You can blame them for bleeding the music industry dry.
Just saying that half of hippies was fuck the establishment (church)
And addressing every single major change to it in the worst way possible
Boomers are stubborn, and not in a good way.
They take stands on the dumbest shit.
I don't like giving total shit to boomers though because it's the same argument as "there was slavery so fuck your ancestors." Whether we want to admit it or not, we didn't do enough to slow the changes they made
Of course, we didn't know (for certain) what the changes would bring
They're still alive.
True
But 50 years from now, when they're all dead, or 100 years from now, when this generation too is dead
The rift between their generation and ours.
But they will go to their graves staying quiet as a churchmouse about all of it
Who would be to blame? The people who started it or the people who didn't stop it when they had a chance
Collecting social security we will never, ever use.
Obviously both are to blame
It's not fair to put the blame entirely on one
...
This is how they skate
"We didn't start it!!"
Okay but... you're definitely not fixing it.
How are you fixing it?
What, social security?
How would I?
How long has my generation even held any offices?
And I mean ANY.
The boomer generation got a lollipop when it was young.
And it liked that lollipop so much..
You didn't just say social security, you said "everything"
It demanded its children give them another.
