Every generation thinks they invented dark and surreal humor and without fail news outlets who should know better act likes its some new and unique thing… it’s more of an anomaly IMHO if a generation doesn’t do this.

Yeah but instead of joking about suicide like a normal person, boomers write confusingly veiled songs about it and pretend they’re family friendly.
Looking at you, David Bowie! Space Oddity isn’t for children!

I feel like Boomers’ jokes about hating their spouse is thinly veiled suicidality jokes. Like, they’re giving big “I did everything I was meant to and I hate my life” energy

I guess so, but blaming your sadness on someone you promised to love is a dick move if they never did anything wrong, and most wives never did anything wrong

You know the sayings: “We’re standing on the shoulders of giants” and “he walked so we could run” etc.
