    Boomer actually refers to persons in the Baby Boom generation. If you ar about to turn 50 then you are not in that generation. That said, if you are acting like your parents you might be acting like a boomer. ;)

    Oh I know what "boomer" means, and I know that I am definitely GenX. That is why I said "boomery" to draw a parallel to how some people act nowadays -- i direct relation to how our parents acted as those of us who were born to boomers.

    A lot of the older people on BBSes back when I was a kid had these same kind of "troll-esque" discussions. I just don't understand the point of some of i I always had a lot of fun with it.

    Welcome!

    Thanks!

    I think a lot of the younger folks on the social media are just wanting attention. It is like yelling, "Look at me, look what I can do!"

    Take out the word 'younger', replace 'the social media' with 'everywhere', and change 'just wanting attention' to 'desparate attention whores'.

    as those of us who were born to boomers.

    idiot kids on social media think anybody older than them is a boomer.
    they call people in their 40s boomers.
