It's mostly a thing being instigated on social media. I've never run across it in real life. I think Gen X is behind it all. ( Sorry, Gen X, I didn't want you to feel left out.)

I'm in the US and it's all nonsense to me too. -a waste of time.

I'm in US and I've never heard about it! My life must be incomplete....

we get it in england

I'm a norwegian millenial, I have these boomers all over my facebook posting minions and insert balloon emojies everywhere. This is highly relatable.

No, I see stuff like that in Sweden too. The American boomers tend to write (spelling and grammar) slightly better than the Swedish boomers.

In Germany we don't really have a baby boomer generation - at least not one that is so confiden, unwilling to make space for the younger people and so very LARGE. It took people in West Germany a lot longer to feel comfortable about having lots of children and in East Germany people never had that feeling of endless summer adn 'We Own The World' at all. So, now, we have millenials but not this conflict.

Yep just USAian thing. As much as we like to claim United We Stand, if you look closer everything is divided in I/Us vs Them.

it is a US thing. especially right now given democratic primaries taking place and people getting ramped up about 'time for a generation change'. but one thing that absolutely pisses me off is being told a generation that really hasn't been all that great is 'the greatest generation' just cuz they went off to fight the nazis. Like, yeah, the nazis had to be dealt withand it took some massive balls to storm the beaches at Normandy. but come on, how do you know?

I'm German and I get it. Also, saw these boomer thread IRL, so yeah, it's actually a thing I guess. Beside, I'm a Gen Xer and we also have our thing going. Usually, we write too much words into a comment and we can't wrap our heads around the concept of memes so well.

almost every boomer on the planet has attempted to send someone a private message by posting it on their own wall. Also, they think everything in their feed is a private message to them. Gen Xers are guilty of this as well.

Agreed. Some Boomers supported wars, some protested them. They lit a fire under women's rights, civil rights, LGBTQ rights. Boomers are a huge and far from homogenized group, and have brought both good and bad changes to the world. Ditto millennials - I've deleted 3 young men because they were alt-right bigots. My Gen X friends are as mixed as any other group.. Generations mean nothing, really.

Absolutely agree. More so for the Millennials. They deserve the hate.

I agree, they make it sound like we don’t have grammar skills. We had grammar and English stuffed down our throats. I think 🤔 the younger generation could learn something about commas, spelling, paragraphs, et al.
