Is it all the baby boomers fault?

No, not everything can be laid at the boomer door. We had some saving graces, as well as many faults (as all generations).

I'm old enough to remember the decades when a "celebrities" were people who had actually achieved something.

And "influencer" was not something anyone would have ever wanted to be called, as a job path, let alone proclaim oneself to be. At best it would have made some laugh out loud.

We did benefit from relatively inexpensive university education, though entry was merit based then, which was a good thing. That has gone. Some boomers became aggressive neoliberals who wanted to make everything in life a commodity for sale. They were not most boomers, but their economic vandalism to our way of life was and is out of all proportion to their minority numbers.

Wait, you're triggered and yet she's the snowflake?

Are you suggesting that I shouldn't be offended by someone who wants me dead solely because of my age ? Get a grip

You boomers stole my future.

OK Milly

Where does the time go,when I was a kid all the boomers were in there 30's and had all the same feelings about the WW2 generation that millennial generation has about them.

As a member of gen X and always being told we were worthless back in the early 90's when Kurt Cobain was our spokesman,I would say walk a mile in the other generation's shoes before you judge.

I don't think we can make such blanket statements as "It's all the baby boomers fault" Each generation has its good and bad people . For me neo-liberalism , and a dog eat dog mentality that's sprung from that , has done more harm than any specific generation has .

Yep.....the Boomers felt almost precisely the same about the Silent Generation in the 1960s and 1970s as the Millennials feel about the Boomers these days

My father was born in 1932. He had many of the conservative aspects of the Silent Generation. He wasn't into literature; he was more into succeeding in business.
