There’s always going to be at least some simmering tension between members of different generations. Older gens are likely to think that young people these days lack work ethic (and have awful taste in music) while the latter are likely to resent some of their seniors for being disconnected from reality and being ‘stuck’ in their ways.

You can see how different this mentality is by taking a peek at the memes different generations share. And that’s where the ‘Ok, Boomer’ Facebook group comes in. It’s an online community whose members post memes that Baby Boomers would enjoy, gently poking fun at their perspective on life. Of course, all of this is done for the sake of a bit of fun, not to be mean. Scroll down for the (un)funniest Boomer memes and upvote the ones you disliked the most. The cringe is heavy here, so watch your step, Pandas.

There are too many stereotypes on this to take anything seriously. Funny, I guess, to gullible and uncritical sorts of people who don't observe or think for themselves.

This seems to be a growing trend on Bored Panda. Make a post based on a stereotype of a particular demographic, include lots of click-baity titles and memes to really fuel the outrage. They do it to the US nearly weekly, and it looks like today boomers are the focus. These lists typically generate lots of anger, which means more views and comments, which means more traffic, which means more ad revenue for BP.

I hope this stays number one. I'm a Gen Xer and I've watched as the boomers actively slammed all the doors behind them that their parents and grandparents literally died to open. MLK Jr was assassinated for saying Black Lives Matter and got the Civil Rights Act passed. 50 years later cops are still shooting black people at rallies and getting away with no charges. 9 Greatest Generation judges gave us Roe v Wade so a boomer woman could have control over her body. 9 Boomer judges ended that for their grandchildren. Two laws in the 31 years that boomers have been leaders of the free world (Clinton in '92) have been passed to increase the minimum wage and it hasn't gone up in 14 years.

Wait, wait, wait. I'm on the second stage of Boomers, born in '56. We were the ones after Korea. We got out of elementary school the day JFK got shot. We stayed at home and watched his funeral. My parents had just moved from Memphis and I was watching TV (only 3 channels) when Martin Luther King was killed. And I was watching TV when Bobby Kennedy was shot and killed. You seem not to know that my generation was a part of the March on Washington, the chance to hear Martin Luther King to hear the "I have a Dream" speech. We grew up protesting the Vietnam War, both black and white (solders were chosen by birth date, not by race) and several of my friends died there. I refuse to excuse the history of my South Carolina as far as slavery is concerned. It was an inexcusable fact of the state I live in now. But I cannot accept blame for something that happened before I was born. Yes, I do still live in the deep South and I deeply regret that it's Republican status. All I can do it vote

Well, for the most part, I agree with Margot. It seems on certain days, some generation is the target. Not just Boomers, sometimes others. This is not helpful. It doesn’t help for discourse between the generations. I get it Gen Z. We are responsible for every s****y thing in the world. No we aren’t. Sometimes it’s from the generation before us, and yes, even the one before that. There are certain words to a song out there that says “Every generation blames the one before” (Mike and the Mechanics somewhere in the 90’s.) We blamed the ones before ours. Check out history. The Vietnam War protests. Angela Davis and the Black Lives Matter movement of our day. Oh, check out Woodstock. We were all over The Establishment. Bernie Sanders still lives there, bless him. But then some things never change about the world. Most of us do not think as above. We just don’t listen to each other. Generations never have because each one thinks they know it all. None of us do.

Part 2: OMG I’m preaching!🤪 We felt towards & said to our previous generations what you are saying to us. It’s called life. For all of us. But as I keep saying, & not Gen Z, or any before us will get this right now, but 40 to 50 years from now your turn will come. You’ll be blamed for all that is wrong in the world. You’ll be thought of as rude & opinionated & you don’t give a c**p about the younger generations because you think they’re lazy, entitled, & they know nothing. BTW. Blame Hollywood for the whole greed, kill yourself for money & that’s all you value. Step over everyone to get to the very rich top of the heap. The movie Wall Street. The proclamation “Greed is good”. And we’re off. Whatever happened to Network “I’m mad as he!!, & I’m not going to take it anymore!”. Maybe we all need to go back there right now. A protest sign I saw from a Boomer. “I’m 60 years old and I can’t believe I’m still having to protest this s**t”. Some of us do get it you know.

I'm a gen x kid with silent generation parents. We all seem to agree that the dynamic is a kind of the sweet spot for people who make memes forgetting we exist lol. Not saying the relationships are all sweetness and rainbows but, if anything, we all get to giggle at boomer jokes (and millennial jokes) and that is definitely one way to bring families together :)

That's wrong. Yes, as the second wave of Boomers (the first being after WW2) we marched on Washington and saw the Martin Luther King speech. We protested against the Vietnam War. We marched for the ERA (look it up.) Our second generation of Boomers lived the through the Vietnam mandatory draft (that means you go into military service whether you want to or not), going through crippling inflation in the 80s (look it up), and the continuing nuclear alarms on the car radio ("This is only an practice. Had this been a real alert, you should go to immediate safety...) or the TV movie, " The Day After" (look it up). We lived in constant fear of a nuclear war. Bomb shelters after The Bay Of Pigs. I hardly think that the second generation of Boomers was lucky fearing nuclear holocaust any day.

To start things off, it’s important to know which generation is which because things can get really confusing, really quickly. For instance, members of Generation X end up being called Baby Boomers. While Zoomers are referred to as Millennials (who are getting on in years and becoming more Boomerish by the year. Hi!). And members of Gen Alpha are often called Zoomers.

To put it simply, Baby Boomers were born from 1946 to 1964. So the youngest Boomers would be 59 years old in 2023 while the oldest would be 77. What followed next was Generation X, aka Gen X, those born 1965 till 1979, according to ‘Caregivers of America.’

Things get slightly murkier afterward. Millennials (aka Generation Y) followed suit, but there’s some ambiguity as to what this entails. Some say that you can consider yourself a Millennial if you were born between 1980 and 1994. Others believe that the cutoff point is ‘96.

Generation Z, Zoomers, include those born roughly between 1995 and 2012. Meanwhile, Generation Alpha includes people born between 2013 and 2025. Everyone from 2026 onward will be considered part of a new generation entirely!

It only makes sense that different generations have different values when it comes to work, life, family, and purpose. A common complaint among older generations is that young people don’t work hard enough toward their goals, lack discipline, and want results too quickly. In short (and oversimplifying things), they consider younger people entitled and presumptuous.

They’re not the only ones who are vocal, though. Millennials, Zoomers, and members of Gen Alpha are likely to point out that there’s not much point in overworking yourself when there’s nothing to aim for. Buying property is incredibly expensive, meanwhile, the cost of living is through the roof.

Younger generations aren’t fond of being told to ‘drink less coffee’ and ‘eat less avocado toast,’ as though this alone would help them save up for a house. There’s a certain level of understanding that hard work alone won’t get you everything that other generations could easily get: the global economic context matters a lot, too.

Despite sometimes tense attitudes toward one another and opinions on how to live a good life, people of all generations tend to value the same things at work. Namely, flexibility, recognition, and financial stability.

According to Forbes, referring to a LiveCareer study, all generations appreciate flexible working options: 76% of Millenials expected them, as did 69% of Zoomers, and 64% of members of Gen X.

Meanwhile, job prestige was valued as a priority by 64% of Gen X employees, 56% of Baby Boomers, 58% of Millennials, and 53% of Gen Z. Another study showed that everyone values pay rises very highly (91.4% of Gen X, 90.5% of Gen Y, and 87.2% of Gen Z). Everyone's expectations are more or less the same, so managers ought to know what helps motivate most of their employees, no matter their generation.

The ‘Ok, Boomer’ Facebook group was created 3 years ago and at the time of writing had over 64.4k members. The community’s goal is to post memes that Boomers like and to gently poke fun at them and their outlook on life by contrasting it with what the younger generations believe.

ADVERTISEMENT

The name of the ‘Ok, Boomer’ group is a reference to a well-known meme, created in 2015, that is meant to mock Baby Boomers. According to Know Your Meme, the retort is meant to show someone’s disregard for how old-fashioned and out-of-touch Boomers can be.

Members of the ‘Ok, Boomer’ group are urged to respect one another. Political posts and discussions, for instance, aren’t allowed. If you’re planning on debating something sensitive, try to do it as civilly as possible. “This is a meme group, after all,” the team running the community points out.

Meanwhile, members are asked not to spam and not to post random, non-boomer-related content. What’s more, nobody should be sharing anyone’s personal information. And everyone’s asked not to waste the group’s time by sharing reposts.
