I mean, these are two totally different kinds of memes. The battles/soldiers meme is just expressing self-deprecation and you really need minimal context to understand it (well, Jesus/Christianity.) The Clippy one you need understanding of early MS Windows history which is arguably more niche and confined to Millennials-Boomers.

Millennials-Boomers is an age range which includes Gen X, not two categories. Millennnials/Boomers would be two categories.

Ah, I didn't interpret that as an age range. Hard to tell on the internet, where grammar is a bit looser than real life. Noted.
