  1. I just remember latchkey kids. Boomers put career and caring about themselves above their children. That’s why Gen X hates them, and they won’t pass the torch.

  2.  @Killswitch1411  Many young people have already died in this current financial climate. The Fentanyl outbreak. Death by despair. No hope for a better future. No option for a decent wife and kids. Those are just some of the things young people are dying from.

  3.  @EMKABMART  Whatever Boomers had to struggle with, their parents struggled even more. Read up about the Roaring Twenties, the Great Depression and WW2 before you start running your mouth. Unlike you, I want Gen Z to succeed. But as long as people like you continue to put their foot down on young people, nothing gets accomplished.

  4.  @EMKABMART  From what? Hollywood? Are you assuming that people here think life resembled that of movie stars Humphrey Bogart, Cary Grant and Judy Garland? My grandparents both came up poor in that era. They didn’t have radios for entertainment. They both grew up in simple homes, and raised my parents through hard work. Life in the 1950’s and 1960’s, even without indoor plumbing for a number of houses, was still much easier than it was during the Great Depression.

  6.  @larkies916  The early Boomers got lucky. They embraced the 1960's 'Love' while they listened to Jimi Hendrix and The Beatles, then turned into Hippies when John Lennon and company grew their hair long. Then they turned around and voted for Reagan decades later, and younger generations are blamed for crap that already started before their time. I'm just waiting for the Boomers to die off. It sounds harsh and cruel, but the kids have already suffered enough. Things need to change for the better if American and the rest of western society wants to sustain itself for more than 5 - 15 years.

  8.  @jeremywoodfin2885  I also want to add that I’ll be turning 38 in a couple months. Still fairly young by modern standards, but I’m definitely not college aged. I had to move back in with my folks a few years back because I couldn’t afford to pay the rent for my own place. Moved back in, did some studying of my own, attended job interviews, worked a couple years, cut back on all luxuries until I was finally able to live alone again.

  9. Most of them are dead. It’s just the few left with seats of power who are completely detached from reality. If you’re 80 or older and still hold a seat of power in the government, you need to retire.

  11. Your childhood was 3 billion people. Today we are well over 8 billion people. You want to discuss why we’re getting more forest fires in America, why we’re getting more scorching heat? The population increase has a lot to do with this.

  16.  @herknorth  Older Millennials are people born in 1981 - 1986 or so. Those who came after are Young Millennials, which is distinguish due to changes in computer tech, particularly the internet.

  17. The 80's had AIDS. The 90's had the Rodney King beating and riots that followed, along with a list of other tragedies. There is so such thing as an ideal time. It was just that back then, in your heyday, you didn't have fearful news constantly being beaten into people like it is now, thanks to 24/7 news media and internet social media. You could live a life ignorant of most of the bad events due to lack of technology. Now in order to do that, you will have to live "off the grid" and become a homesteader.

  20. In short, Reaganomics. Prior to the 1980’s, small towns and smaller cities relied on local businesses and services. Since Reaganomics, there has been an effort to punish the average person, whereas the rich continue to get richer.

  21.  @eccehomer8182  Boomers brought the prosperity that was the 90’s generation economy, including the Dot Com Boom that gave people opportunities. However, they constantly told Millennials to respect authority while at the same time mollycoddling them by telling them what they can and can’t do. Even when the Millennials became young adults. This has resulted in an entire generation of beta males who can’t think for themselves and have to have older people or authority to make decisions for them. A societal collapse is pretty much on the horizon. The system we have now isn’t working, and we are seeing the consequences of that in the media and elsewhere.

  22.  @Paul71H  Because Boomers inherited America from their parents and drove it into the ground. Why do you think our opinion of the government is so negative? Why are we constantly griping about working two jobs while barely able to afford the apartment rent we pay? Boomers did have not to go through these hardships. In 1972 they were guaranteed a career complete with a good home, family and kids. Hearing these 70 - 75 year old farts still say we’re soft and overly fragile boils my blood to no end.

  26. You’re leaving Hollywood out of the equation. Andy Griffith? All in the Family? MASH? Any of that sound familiar to you? What Gen Z is facing today is an evolution that TV and later computers/social media were doing.

  27.  @psikeyhackr6914  You didn't get my point did you? Whereas Gen Z is praising social media influencers, you older guys were praising celebrities on television. It's all superficiality and the tube was for decades a great propaganda machine.

  29. The war started in 1946. Americans were kept quiet about it until a certain senator named McCarthy brought out ‘McCarthyism’ and the Hollywood blacklist became known. Then there’s of course the 1960s/early 1970s. Then you had Gen X still being told to conduct nuclear drills at school, while the Soviets were beginning to crumble. The union collapses in 1991 and America becomes the lone superpower.

  32.  @manictiger  You can add Ronald Reagan to that list as well. One of the worst presidents America produced. NAFTA is another problem, sending jobs overseas for cheaper labor. The future isn’t looking good.

  33.  @kmeades346  I put Gen X above Millennials and Zoomers.

  34.  @ThunderAppeal  I feel this is wrong. People I knew from the Silent Generation spoke more eloquently and had a stronger sense of frugality, since their parents had to endure the Great Depression. Baby Boomers were spoon fed during the 1950s - 1970s and were highly influenced by Reaganomics in the 1980s. By the 1990s they were already borrowing more money than they can pay back, and helped drastically increase the US National Debt. But people will still throw Millennials and Zoomers under the bus because both generations are young.

  36.  @HTV-2_Hypersonic_Glide_Vehicle  Saying America is the “Greatest Country in the World” couldn’t be more delusional. I laugh when these idiots think of America like Leave It To Beaver. That old vintage 50s show, with a caring man and housewife with two kids. Middle class home with white picket fence. America stopped being that a long time ago. It continues to decline in education and healthcare. Countries like Switzerland and Norway have taken what was the old American values and improved upon them. Old White Americans are stuck in the 1950s - 1970s. Complete with racial prejudice and that attitude of “strap yourself by the boots”. It’s no wonder America is falling.

  43.  @jesse_-  What a typical ‘Boomer’ comment. Millennials are the product of the times they were brought up in. Meanwhile, they’re being forced to work multiple jobs to keep the roof on their heads. The older ones pushing 40 and older are just now securing homes, but they’re not going to pay them off any time soon. Not even close. Both the Boomers and the older portion of Gen Xers were able to land jobs straight out of high school and college. Now Millennials and Zoomers are forced to apply online and pass a stupid IQ test just for basic duties like floor sweeping. There is no denying that older generations starting with the Silent Generation (1928/1929 - 1945) had a better quality of life. It was possible to apply and work for a union job that paid your family expenses, cars and home. Not a house, a home with wife and children. This is no longer possible. So while Generation Z (Zoomers) (1997 - 2012) struggles daily to even complete college and obtain a fairly decent job, continue to call Millennials weak, entitled, spoiled and rotten. I suppose you watched those MTV reality shows from the 2000’s and 2010’s and figured this is how the Millennials acted in day to day life. Giving the younger generations crap makes you just as entitled as a lot Boomers are themselves.

  47. ⁠ @colleenporter1119 Computers didn’t enter the home until the early 1980’s. Cell phones didn’t exist until the 1970’s, and they weren’t practical until the 1990’s. iPad of course was the creation of Steve Jobs. All this to say, your generation created these things, but these were not things you grew up with.
