At Least One Youngster Agrees
In order to understand the true essence of these posts, let's explore the history of the baby boomer generation. While facing great uncertainty and hardship during the period of 1946-1964, many couples in the United States had put a hold on starting a family.
In the aftermath of conquering these challenges, people were ready to have kids as they believed that the future would be filled with happiness and success. Families started growing faster than ever before – giving birth to the baby boom generation! The US alone welcomed 76 million bundles of joy during this time.

During this era, labor unions promised higher salaries, businesses were booming, and new consumer goods were hitting the market shelves. In short, people were living the dream. With prosperity came change as families started heading to the suburbs for a better life.
As corporations kept growing, the markets were filled with more affordable products. Cars, home appliances, TVs – you name it, they had it. Parents wanted to give their families all the material things they couldn’t have.

Boomer Humour
Many adults had started buying things like washing machines and refrigerators. They had unknowingly become a part of the consumer economy. In fact, businesses started targeting the millions of relatively affluent boomer children with their marketing efforts.
For instance, kids were buying mouse-ear hats after watching the Disney show and barbie dolls and Elvis Presley records and so much more. A Life magazine article from 1958 proclaimed that children were a “built-in recession cure.”

Once the boomers approached adolescence, some of them started having different thoughts about consumerism. Something began to shift as these restless teenagers questioned the status quo and craved something more. And thus, the youth counterculture movement was born.

May someone explain which part of this is boomer-humor? The stupid question or the sarcastic answer?

I snorted, causing both cats to wake up long enough to shoot me a dirty look. It's almost time for zoomies.
This generation was a part of a lot of significant movements like the Civil Rights Movement, the protest against the Vietnam War, and the second wave of feminism. Motivated by a desire for equality, justice, and peace, they advocated for fairness, freedom, and inclusivity. They witnessed various challenges, including economic shifts, technological advancements, and some of the most important societal changes in modern history.

These always irk me. Not teaching kids kursive and not having a rotary phone and then giving them s**t. Like it's their fault. If no one had taught us cursive, we wouldn't know how to read it either, and wouldn' t have begged others to teach it to us in our free time.

Oh look, a somewhat funny and affectionate slice-of-like cartoon about middle-aged suburban kink can be turned into anti-"woke" culture war boorishness with the simple addition of a couple of dates. For an added effect, cut off the original artist's signature and add your own.

I suppose the take away from all this is that the younger generations don't understand what boomer humour is. I suggest you look at Monty Python and the Carry On films to see what it actually was.

A boomer is a person born in the "baby boom" generation within 20 years past WW2 in the 20th century, so no, there will never again be any more. Ever. This was just a string of jokes so old they grew hair.
