They are referring to people who have been doing everything they can to ruin our generation. It's not so much that they are celebrating death as they are celebrating their own future.

Millennials are the new boomers.

We should rename ourselves to "Boomer Light" or "Boomer Ice"

Well we used to be the Harry Potter, Rick and Morty fans, and Elon Musk bootlickers, so I guess we're due for a new identity now that all our cultural icons have turned out to be duds.

All Millenials have left is baby Yoda, so we are the baby Yoda generation.

Pretty sure Millennials and Zoomers are doing a pretty good job of that all on their own.

I'd ask what those generations are going to do once there's no Boomers left to blame for stuff going wrong, but let's be honest, you're all going to keep blaming the Boomers long after they're dead anyway.

We're going to clean up your mess and you can keep complaining about it, then maybe our kids will be able to move out before the age of 30. Oh that's another thing, we don't endlessly hate on our kids for things we did. As if Zoomers have done anything at all. If those guys are idiots it's because you broke the education system.

BS0 and his contemporaries will always find somebody to blame, tbh. Even when they can't possibly justify blaming boomers (which is a struggle even now), they'll find some new target for their ire.

tbh, millennials are going to wind up being a lot worse than the boomers in the long run, so it's more of a "Hold my beer" generation.

The schools today are being driven more by millennials than boomers and are doing a far worse job today than when far-left boomers fucked things up in the 70s. Not that the schools were an isolated phenomenon, since far-left policies basically killed the labor in the US and removed the advantage the US had coming out of WWII. And, in most regards, far-left millennials are way further to the left of far-left boomers, so the US's march to irrelevance will continue unabated in the decades to come.

I don't know what you're on about but the American Dream is dead because of Boomers. There was the idea that if you worked hard your kids could have a better life than you did growing up. I have an objectively worse quality of life than my parents or grandparents because I had less opportunity and that is pretty common for millennials.

Why are you trying to debate this? Do people actually think it's because every millennial is lazy because of some crap they see on tv?

ie, "Oh no! The policies I've largely supported and promoted -- and still do -- have led to the decline of industries ensuring I have fewer opportunities!"

You can either support the far-left policies that led to the destruction of American labor or you can complain about the far-left policies that led to the destruction of American labor. However, complaining about policies you largely support -- and attitudes you largely hold -- is just silly.

While far-leftists from earlier generations got the ball rolling, you've helped to carry it into the end zone if only by your voting record and support for the absurdly-far-left. And the only reason things aren't worse now is that your furthest-left candidates haven't won as many elections.

That said, not only can people who work hard STILL have a better life -- from an economical standpoint -- than their parents and grandparents, but even taking economics off the table, advancements in QoL have generally meant that everybody has things that were the stuff of science fiction just a scant 40 or 50 years ago. In countless regards, most people are living better today than they would've in decades past. And for all of your grandstanding, I doubt you'd be willing to take a time machine and live as just an ordinary person 60 years ago.

Giving birth costs $18,865 on average, including pregnancy, delivery and postpartum care, according to the Peterson-Kaiser Family Foundation

Wow millennials really made giving birth expensive.

Oh no that was the matured and cultured old people and their hand picked cable news darlings, knowing how to compromise with those across the aisle.

Hey, why aren't young people having kids? Oh, it's because we can't actually afford it. They compromised our lives away by being extremely smart. We didn't have to compromise, but they asked soo nice, and I wanted to be polite.

I'm not quite sure what the TC is trying to ask, but a shit-ton of boomers were killed by Covid, so....

But really, plenty from the next generation will just morph into "boomers", and so on and so forth. The particular type of, well, Boomers is dying off, sure, but the influence and corruption implemented may never fully be gotten rid of. Depending on how one defines that, of course.

You have a point but unfortunately you only need 60% to go along with you to change the world for the worse.
But hanging a placard around the neck of an entire generation and writing off billions of people as personally responsible for all the wrongs you can think of (no matter which generation is your preferred supervillain) sure doesn't change the world for the better.

And call me pessimistic, but I'm afraid that after the last of the boomers is in the ground, you'll find the very people you grew up with are making their own fair share of insane political choices and it's nothing to do with the year in which they were born. The cycle continues.

How is blaming anyone and everyone born between 1946 and 1964 not a generalization, genius? It's not as if you're even blaming a subset of voters from that generation for the choices they made; you're lumping together even those who voted very differently, because you're arbitrarily defining them all by the year they were born in. "Boomer" isn't codespeak for "elderly Republican voter": it's a reference to an entire fucking generation.

It doesn't matter whether you're judging and labelling someone by their skin, their sexuality, their gender, or their age: deny it all you like, but you're just another fucking bigot.
