That's only because both groups ignore you equally. Though speaking as an older Millennial, I appreciate you for Nirvana and Radiohead

Most boomers don't know what the hell a millennial is nor care but millennials spend half their days worried about what a boomer is doing or did in the past. Most of the people making fun of millennials are either ones themselves and don't know it or gen Xers.

True to the former and bullshite to the latter. They care quite a bit; they simply think a millennial is defined as anyone under the age of 40

Possibly true, I'm just going off what I personally see. I deal with boomers all the time and never hear them speak of millennials and when subject is brought up normally don't seem to care about entering the conversation. Gen Xers seem to be the main one ragging millennials.

Most people don't know the approximate age ranges of millennials or boomers.

This is the definitive Boomer moment. Crashing an economy to save them, when they should already be out of the workforce making way for younger people, and when they don't even have a mortgage unless they have two homes.

I'm surprised there isn't more outright anger against them at this point. Not against any of them individually, because I know many of them don't want this, but against them in general.

And when I'm with millennials, they generally don't talk about boomers.

I'm pretty sure 99% of the boomer/millennial fights come straight from O-T Lounge. I rarely see or hear it anywhere else except occasionally on FB. Once in awhile at work a millennial will bring it up and say something about boomers

I work with a decent mixture of boomers, GenX and millennials and everyone gets along fine.

True. Most Boomers (and some Millennials) think Millennials are today’s high school and college kids. Some Millennials are currently in their mid-late thirties.

I'm a millennial by the stupid definition, I own 2 houses and I'm working on a third.


In he last 2 weeks I have worked from my office, my home and my vacation home. Definitely not a boomer and probably slightly missing out on the millennial category.

If you ask me, good for those boomers with multiple homes.

People under 40 are making up 40% of the cases in this country.

All that vaping has damaged lungs far and wide, so with Trump about to open things back up in 6 days it'll be a good test for everyone's immune sysytem. The vacancies it creates in the work force should be good for the rest of us.

And a ton of millennials think 85 year olds are boomers
