Millennials Are Pretending To Be Baby Boomers In This FB Group And Here Are 25 Hilarious Posts

ADVERTISEMENT

Baby boomers (born between 1946 and 1964) and millennials (born between the early 1980s and early 2000s) are not on good terms with each other. To oversimply, baby boomers think that millennials are entitled brats who don't take responsibility for pretty much anything while millennials believe that baby boomers are hopelessly outdated in the modern world. The two groups are constantly taking stabs at one another, and Twitter user Anna (@manhattanna) has recently found a perfect example of this ongoing war. Turns out, there's a Facebook group where millennials are pretending to be baby boomers, making fun of the ways they use social media. Anna tweeted screenshots of the group's activity, and the pics have already accumulated over 171K likes, with many commenters saying that the impersonations are so accurate, they're hilarious.

Anna herself was born in 1998, a kind of a generation gap."I can relate to [both] millennial characteristics and generation Z," she told Bored Panda. "[Millennials] are the future, they’re stressed out, and have a unique sense of humor."

Sure enough, the millennial generation have plenty of stuff to worry about. Compared to previous generations, for example, 22 to 37-year-old millennials are delaying or foregoing marriage and have been somewhat slower in forming their own households, especially compared to the baby boomer generation. They are also more likely to be living at home with their parents and for longer stretches.

Most baby boomers, on the other hand, married relatively young (before the age of 25), but only two-thirds of these remain married today. In the case of many baby boomers in the workforce, they believe that time and experience are the key components that earn someone authority so that the longer a person serves an organization, the better ranking they deserve. Interestingly, they are also more likely to hold leadership positions in high paying fields such as medical or engineering. You could say that baby boomers pay credit where credit is due. For example, boomers contribute to the majority of positive feedback online as well.

"The baby boomers that end up being characterized in the group are all the stereotype of the typical baby boomer who's clueless as to how to use the internet, blames millennials for the downfall of the earth, and usually some kind of racist/sexist/homophobic," Anna explained.

She found the group through someone else’s tweet and is really glad that it has gained popularity. "I've gotten so many messages from people saying they were having a rough day/struggling lately, and that the posts on this millennials vs baby boomers group make them laugh and gave them a distraction," Anna added.

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.)

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.

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?

Millennial here, this is absolutely hysterical because all of our grandparents and great aunts and uncles behave EXACTLY like this on FB. I laughed almost the whole way through this because I could see someone in my family doing what I was reading on nearly every one.

Wow, reading some of these comment I amazed at how many people seem to take offence at this. It is a joke, people teasing many baby boomers ability to properly understand how to use social media and what is appropriate to say. Why do people have to get so crabby at a joke? As for being negative about 2 generations making fun of each other people saying this is new, you live under a rock, children will always complain that their elders are out of touch, and the elders will always complain that the youth have it so much easier than in their day, it was the same between the boomers and their parents, and is the same between gen X and their children. The only thing I don't get about this group is people seem to think BBs cant type or spell, the keyboard isn't something that was invented when the internet was.
