It's fascinating to see how people's attitudes and views have changed throughout all these years. Sure thing, everyone is unlike each other no matter what generation you were born in – however, speaking strictly about the societies of specific periods, the difference is truly bewildering. 

Each generation has its own twist, whether it's something positive or not. Every one of us has lived or is living in our own version of the world, and sometimes it's simply impossible to imagine what the following generations could be like.

Take boomers and those that fall into generation Z, for instance. The contrast between these two is immense, and it's impressive how distant the generations are from each other. Besides, most of you have probably heard that "OK boomer" catchphrase that came around a couple of years ago: it was and sometimes is still used to sort of mock the attitude of the pre-millennial folks.

Well, today, we'll be focusing on the boomers and boomers only, as these Twitter users decided to gather together and reveal occasionally sarcastic yet amusing things they absolutely adore about those mid-20th-century babies. 

Let's start from the beginning; baby boomers, or, if shortened boomers, is a term used to describe folks who were born between 1946 and 1964. All together, boomers make up approximately 26 percent of the population and the reason why the generation was named this way was because of the spiking birth rate that began to happen right after WWII. People were forced to put an indefinite pause on their lives and risk everything instead, so it's understandable that the majority wanted to start their new chapter and create their own families as soon as the global conflict was finally out of the picture.

    Looking back at the "OK boomer" trend, a lot of youngsters don't appreciate the older generation's outlook on today's different societal matters. Now, of course, it's unacceptable to generalize a whole age group, which is why most people are aware that many older folks are actually very self-aware, tend to positively impact on the planet, and are generally eager to educate themselves if they're willing to understand that, these days, society's views are completely contrasting to those they are so used to.

    Though, if we think about it – conflict between generations is not a new phenomenon. Despite the fact that the gaps between all those different age groups are not immensely huge, our society views change with the speed of light. For the last 60 or so years, our world has undergone such a colossal switch; we've been through wars, economical issues, our scientists made literally humongous progress in medicine, people came up with unimaginable technology and most importantly – folks became more accepting. Somehow, it's possible to comprehend that older generation might have a problem with catching up with today's morality; however, the blatant ignorance of some could never be excused.

    Nowadays, the majority of younger individuals are very inspired to better the planet. People come up with many movements to better the lives of those who are underprivileged or in need, resulting in this generation striving to be more mindful of various problems that hinder people's overall peace. Still, a concerning amount of folks stay in denial of all the things that are wrong with our society, which is why it's important to educate those who are a little lost. Though, it's not always possible to change someone's opinion – so things like "OK boomer" might occasionally surface as a sort of opposition to those who are not willing to learn.

    While the generational conflict is an issue that will most likely follow folks that come after us, and the folks that come after them – there's nothing anyone can do that would completely stop or at least interfere, to then magically make all the people of the world stand together and have a universally positive mindset. While we can use our voices and various resources to improve our community, there'll be still someone who will be actively standing up for something that is considered to be morally wrong.

    It's important not to stand still and progress for the sake of those who will come after us – however, no one could physically predict what's going to happen in a few weeks' time, let alone in 50 years. The harsh reality is that maybe humans will never be able to bond as much as some would've liked to, but it doesn't mean that we should stop trying.
