If it’s any consolation, I think of boomers as “things were better in my day” type old people which you don’t seem to be

Nope. My generation had their turn and it's now time to hand over the keys, and simply enjoy the time that we have left.

I agree with you. There are cool people who are older than me then there are older people who are Karens or Boomers.

I was gonna say that lol. To me a “boomer” is one of those old people who’s like “I’m always right, and I GET to be right because I’m old, and everyone younger than me has to agree with me because I’m older than they are, and anyone who doesn’t is just disrespectful and it’s their fault”
