Comment on Anon is standmaxxing

  I (46) was jokingly called a boomer by a 25ish at work and quitely told her I am GenX. Her reply was whats that? (An answer hilariously apt in a meta way) and she told me it to her it meant person with outdated opnion.

  The opinion was me not wanting to use AI but rely on my own knowledge in an area I quite frankly am close to being an expert in. No dunning Kruger expert either.

  And I am born august 79 so neither really gen x or millennial

    It’s ironic that wanting to use one’s own brain makes someone a “boomer.” I know not all baby boomers are as intellectually-lazy as the ones I grew up under, but considering that’s one trait that I’ve seen a lot from that cohort, this is weird to see.

    The term boomer is going to outlive boomers, so all you Gen X, millennials, etc get used to being called that.

      According to sources, and by that I meam wikipedia, gen x is up to 1980. Me being born four months before that line is very young gen x or very old millennial. Considering how I started uni when I was 25 most of my contemporaries are millennials, so I kind if feel like that my self

        Conversely, I find in general anyone born before 1985 is more Gen X than millennial.

    1980 here. I consider myself genx. I’m on the side of the line that was too old to get super into pokemon/SpongeBob/Harry Potter. For me that’s where millennial begins.

      Please explain that to my genX parents who need to read some new books and watch some new shows…

  Yes, but that does require the assumption that a person who is standmaxxing does use the term boomer correctly.

  Nope. A boomer is anybody older than you whom you disagree with, just like millennials or anyone younger than you who you disagree with and Gen Z is someone younger than you who uses a social network you dislike.
