But that’s not the gen z way. Part of being young is thinking you’d somehow do it all differently in the same circumstances.

- ryandrake 4y agoThat’s an attribute of youth in general. No single generation owns it exclusively.
- azinman2 4y agoWhich is why I said “part of being young.” That said, I don’t remember being so explicitly mad at previous generations when I grew up (as a millennial). “Ok boomer” is a big part of the gen z vocabulary.
- humanizersequel 4y ago"ok boomer" in gen z speak tends to be a jab at millenials, not something directed seriously at the legitimately wisened.
- azinman2 4y agoWhat makes you say that? Certainly tiktok seems to be full of a lot of generational humor/videos, which must explicitly naming boomers and often showing people their age. But maybe I’m too old to understand their explicit gripes.
- DonHopkins 4y agook, whatever. Uuuuuuh, John Carmack is a Gen-X'er... How do you insult them?

- majewsky 4y agoI've seen it used by both millenials and zoomers, mostly directed at boomers. It captures a general sentiment that is widespread among those generations that the boomer generation uses (or used existing) systems of power to benefit themselves to the detriment of younger generations and then complains as the younger generations struggle to earn their place in those systems.
- selfhoster11 4y ago“Beware an old man in a profession where men die young” I am in my late 20s, and I think there’s plenty to learn from the past that still applies to the world of today. When a seasoned veteran says something, I shut up and listen, because there’s often a learnable tidbit there, or at least a fun war story.
