    I don’t think burning CDs much much of a boomer activity.

      The phrase just means, “alright old person” now.

        And I declare that calling someone a cunt now means that you like and respect that person. Please go ahead and use it on your boss next time you see them.

      CD players were first sold in 1982, when Boomers (if the baby boom started 1945) were hitting their 40s and established in every industry. I think they were actually the perfect demographic to be able to afford a CD player when it first came out.

        First affordable CD burner was from 1995. 50 year olds tend to not adopt new technology, it’s a millennial thing.

        Yeah but burning CDs yourself wasn’t a thing until much later.

    No boomers are the ones reading the CDs not writing them. Their kids are writting them.
