Sometimes , boomer spit out facts .
Recently, I came across this viral tweet about a person’s most “boomer-est opinion,” which kinda made me do a long, hard think.
my boomer - Eastern Time opinion is that you have to hale yourself to do thing that are unmanageable and uncomfortable and you have to do it often , while you ’re young and your brain is still flexible . yes , even if you are ( functionally ) mentally sick .
Anyhoo, I’m curious to know your own “boomer” opinions. Maybe it’s a hard truth, tough love, or just some advice taught by a boomer that is genuinely very useful. Perhaps it’s something our millennial or Gen Z peers don’t consider. So tell me, what’s your “boomer-est” opinion?
Maybe your most boomer opinion is that you actually find video — in the form of reels, TikTok, etc — extremely annoying and concerning. You’d rather read; when you read, you can skim or CTRL+F on the page for what you want to know, and usually, the content is much more thorough. You also have found you’re losing patience more quickly because of how easy it’s become to scroll and get to something more exciting.
Perhaps your boomer opinion is on parenting. You’re a teacher and see wayyyy too many students struggling because there’s no support at home. Your students have become so reliant on screens, and compared to your students even 10 years ago, you see less ability to be self-sufficient.
Maybe your boomer opinion is that you genuinely believe that many things were better “back in the day,” at least regarding products. Everything you buy falls apart, so now you seek out vintage appliances and goods, especially household goods and clothes, because they last so much longer.
Sometimes, boomers spit facts.
