A couple of my students (who are not millennials) said OK Boomer to me a few times. I’m Gen X. I tried to explain it to them then just decided to let them have their fun.

This is dumb. I’m in my 40 and never owned a black and white TV. Color TVs were rather prominent in the 60’s and programming started in the 50’s
