The term boomer is going to outlive boomers, so all you Gen X, millennials, etc get used to being called that.
Comment on Anon is standmaxxing
Frostbeard@lemmy.world 6 hours agoI (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 (An answer hilariously apt in a meta way) and she told me it to her it meant person with outdated opnion.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.
