Ok Boomer

In what was supposed to be the ultimate millennial putdown, the Ok Boomer comeback lacks original thought, is inarticulate and devoid of composure or wit.


What really makes me laugh is the millennial generation use the Ok Boomer catchphrase without even putting much thought into a response. This may come as a shock to some millennials, not everyone who is older than them is a baby boomer - this may come as a surprise for some.

The baby boomer generation was born between the years of 1946 to 1964, before them were the veterans - described as the greatest generation. As a generation, they lived through a depression and fought in a world war and then rebuilt the ruins.

Then there is Generation X who were born in the mid 60s through to the late 70s who received none of the benefits of the boomer generation yet never complained. They grew up in the cold war era, stagflation and aids epidemic generally missing on the free love of the 60s.

So if you are going to try and portray yourself as a smart and witty individual with a stunning yet simple comeback, how about coming up with some original material and humour me. We would love to see some actual application of dry and cutting wit delivered with comedic timing.

Instead, all I see is a person unable to respond in any way, shape or form to any situation and having to rely in a robotic manner. It looks like that is all they have, they seem to lack the ability to think and respond constructively.
