Gen X were blamed for being too apathetic.

Gen Z is "too sensitive" according to some.

The media has been mocking Millenials and blaming them for killing just about every industry and "institution" possible for years.


Wait, so who ARE these people‽‽

There's variations depending on your source, but basically:

  • The Silent Generation: Born 1928-1945
  • Baby Boomers: Born 1946-1964
  • Generation X: Born 1965-1980
  • Millennials: Born 1981-1996
  • Generation Z: Born 1997-Present

But this isn't another article about everything wrong with the "snowflakes" Gen Xers, millennials and Gen Zs.

This is an article about the way that same sort of treatment, when applied to (baby) Boomers, caused an atomic level freakout.

The ones usually saying things like "snowflake," "back in my day" and railing against "PC culture gone crazy."

Recently, the phrase "OK Boomer" has entered the cultural lexicon as a way of dismissing a conversation that you know is going nowhere—particularly with an older person who is unwilling to accept factual evidence or allow for any opinion or experience besides their own.

This sums it up pretty well:

So now that you've got the concept, let's talk about radio host Bob Lonsberry. He is a man born during the baby boom (so, literally a Boomer) who is pretty well known for his ... opinionated ... stance on a lot of things.

He was fired from an NYC radio show for racist remarks and has a habit of comparing pretty much everything to the n-word. B*tch, "plus sized" and "hater" are all just as bad as the n-word in his eyes.

But don't worry, he once tweeted the full word as opposed to the phrase "n-word" because, he claims, a person called him one and meant it as a compliment so it was fine.

... Sure they did, Bob...

In continuing with his "everything is the n-word" pattern, Bob took major offense to the phrase "OK Boomer" and tweeted (then deleted, then re-tweeted) about how awful it was.

Here's the original tweet:

So you know how some things don't go over well and other things go down in a total raging dumpster fire full of the kind of gloriously blazing failure you didn't even know was possible?

Yeah ... we'll let you guess which way this went.

Hint:

Giphy

Bob's tweet got bodied HARD.

Even the dictionary had something to say about it.

The dictionary wasn't the only one.

Bob was pretty much Twitter roasted to oblivion.









And some people brought receipts.

Seems Bob doesn't practice what he preaches.

Remember, Twitter isn't afraid to dig deep and point out your hypocrisy. There's a tweet for everything and screenshots are forever.

Billionaire Elon Musk was widely mocked after he celebrated President Donald Trump's executive order to begin to dismantle the Department of Education (DOE) by posting a meme of Trump at the department's grave, only for an awkward misspelling to get all the attention.

Support stands at 33%, with opposition particularly strong among Democrats—98% oppose it, while just 1% support it.
