“Okay, Boomer.”

This phrase has become notorious on the internet over the past few years as a response to boomers who say condescending, politically incorrect or presumptuous things to younger generations. But perhaps today we can look at it in a new light. This article might just have you saying, “Okay Boomer. You have a good point there!”

Boomers often get a bad rap for being out of touch or behind the times, but no generation is a monolith. And recently, young Reddit users have been admitting some of the things they can get behind boomers on. From hating loud music in restaurants and shops to begging for actual buttons in their cars, rather than those frustrating touch screens, boomers aren’t the only ones who sometimes want things done the old fashioned way. Below, you'll also find interviews we were lucky enough to receive from Wendy Green, host of the Hey, Boomer! podcast, and Jean Mader and Laura Bettinger, hosts of the OK Boomer podcast.

So be sure to upvote the responses you agree with, and feel free to share anything else you think the boomers are right about in the comments (don’t worry, we won’t tell your fellow millennials/gen zers!). Then if you’re interested in checking out another Bored Panda piece that might make you realize how much you have in common with boomers, we recommend reading this article next!

I love technology as much as the next person, and I really am not sure how I would have functioned had I been born several decades earlier than I was. Traveling to foreign countries or taking road trips without having Google Maps and the option to text or call for help in the palm of my hand? Yeah, no thanks. But even I have to admit that the boomers are right about some things. 

Menus do not need to be a QR code. Music in businesses should not be so loud that I have to shout across the table to my partner, and oh my god, no I will not get a smart watch. I don’t care how many steps you’ve walked today, Brenda. I look at my watch to see what time it is. We’re all going to be old one day, so there’s no need to judge our elders (aka the boomers) for not understanding or getting on board with certain technological advances. After all, some people might find it charming that they couldn’t meet their significant others on Tinder and that they might have no idea what a TikTok is.

To gain some insight on this topic, we reached out to Wendy Green, host of the Hey, Boomer! podcast. Wendy is a boomer herself, but she told Bored Panda, "I think we actually have a lot in common with the younger generation, particularly the Gen Z group who (at least from my perspective) seem to be more focused on activism."

She also shared that Hey, Boomer! was born 3-weeks after the pandemic shut everything down. "I knew that people in the Boomer generation were going to be hit particularly hard by the loss of jobs, and there is an ageist bias that makes it much more difficult to find a new job as you get older. So, my intention was to help people in the 55-75 year old range to recognize that we are still relevant, we still have a lot to give and encourage them to stay engaged."

ADVERTISEMENT

"Many of us were very active politically when we were younger," Wendy explained. "Many of us are re-engaging in that activism and working with young people is a win for all of us. My show also features guests that are reinventing themselves after leaving full time careers, finding adventures and facing challenges. It is a pretty cool show."

just about the furthest left leaning guy you’ll find, and i’m pretty against cancel culture. in theory i understand it, & think it should still be “used” w people like kanye west. but when we’re digging YEARS back to find something someone tweeted once when they were 16… that seems a little unfair. i held opinions at 16 that i now think are silly at 25. people change, they shouldn’t be immediately crucified.

If you don't have some dumb attitudes before you're 25, you're not 'normal'. After that, it's then a refusal to review those attitudes that becomes your problem.

But Wendy is not a fan of using our generational titles to divide us. "I do think we put too much emphasis on the differences between generations," she told Bored Panda. "Each generation is shaped by the events that occurred in their life times. I think learning from each other is the better approach rather that isolating and making fun or different generations. I always cringe when I hear people speak negatively about any one generation. We are all individuals. It does not make sense to generalize. I encourage people to look at their own internal biases and attempt to build conversations and relationships with all age groups. It takes away the feelings of 'the other'.”

I went back to France for the first time in two years and was very surprised to see "indices de réparabilité" on all electronic devices and appliances. For those who don't speak French, it is reparability index and means how easy it is to repair something. I don't know how much it influences buyers, but I think it is good to have manufacturers and consumers think about it.

We also reached out to Jean Mader and Laura Bettinger to learn more about this topic. Jean and Laura are two sisters, best friends and boomers who host a podcast called OK Boomer. Awhile back, (hard for Boomers to keep track of time as the years go by so fast, they noted!) Laura started listening to podcasts and announced to Jean, "This seems like fun, we already chat for hours so why not start a podcast?"

"We are blessed with seven Millennial children and their Millennial partners between us," Jean and Laura told Bored Panda. "We consider ourselves experts regarding 'Boomers and Millennials and everyone in between', so boom, the OK Boomer Podcast was born. We launched our podcast in early 2020, thanks to Pat Rullo at SpeakUpTalkRadio."

Loud music turns into a mush. You can no longer distinguish the nuances from it and your ears hurt. Who wants to purposely be uncomfortable and suffer from tinnitus for the rest of their lives? The music is too loud even in shops, not to mention the cinema. I read a while ago that a woman suffering from misophonia found a solution in earplugs intended for this, which dampen the sound, but not as much as traditional earplugs. Sounds heavenly.

"The name of our podcast is based on the retort, 'OK, Boomer' which is often used to mock Baby Boomers and those who are perceived as old-fashioned and being out-of-touch," Jean and Laura shared. "We podcast twice a month, and we try to find the humor and joy of living this life. Listen in as we encourage all Boomers, Millennials and everyone in between to be happily okay together."

ADVERTISEMENT

We were curious if there's anything boomers typically get made fun of for that Jean and Laura actually agree with. "Hey, we love to make fun of ourselves," they shared. "And we understand that Millennials are spot-on about many things we Boomers do our say. But no matter what our Millennials tell us, we are still going to carry cash, because electronic wallets befuddle us."

"Yes, we know we can text businesses and restaurants, but we would rather call a person," Jean and Laura noted. "Uber and Lyft are indeed beyond us. Ordering fast food online and picking it up, or having it delivered is very confusing and stressful for us. We’ve had computers and smartphones for 25 years now, and we still need our kids to help us reboot them. Or explain what those funny symbols are that we can’t really see without our glasses. And don’t put us in a Granny Flat!"

Jean and Laura just want to see all generations living in harmony. "We put too much emphasis on generational differences, we can all learn and grow from each other. We truly adore our Millennial children and friends and love learning from them, keeps life interesting, maybe keeps us young! And 'Wordle' unites us all!"

"We live in beautiful Ohio," they also shared. "In fact, Laura played the piano and recorded the opening music you hear at the start of each podcast episode. The song is 'Beautiful Ohio'- the official song of our state. We want everyone to have a beautiful life. Oh and we tried the Tik Tok Balsamic Vinegar & Sparkling Water Coke Hack challenge on our podcast!"

Just because you CAN say something, doesn’t mean you SHOULD. Think twice, speak once. I’m only 28, raised by my father who was 39 years older than me. Just seems like people pop off at the mouth way faster than in previous generations.

All these comments make me feel much younger now, glad I wasn’t the only one who got the old school raising.

They slip it in and beat it about, ramming their sex life down our throats. They should think long and hard before just whipping it in to the conversation. We should stop beating about the bush and tell them "NO' they are a pain in the a*s with it.

"Not Everything Needs To Connect To The Internet": 40 Young People Share What Things Boomers Might Be Right About Having to create a username and password to join just about anything online is a royal pain in the a*s

Good gravy this got way more attention that I was expecting. I will check out Password Manager seeing as it is highly recommended.

For the record-I often see boomers much more fed up with computer requirements that require jumping through hoops more than younger generations. I don't think younger generations love these irritating requirements but if anyone feels this is not a boomer opinion I really don't have the energy or care enough to argue

"Not Everything Needs To Connect To The Internet": 40 Young People Share What Things Boomers Might Be Right About tipping has gotten out of control- coming from someone who relies on tips for income. it hurts people who actually should be getting them because now people are extremely agitated about any and all tipping. i was just at a music festival and the guy who exchanges your cash for drink tickets (not even the person who pours the beverage) had an ipad with tip options starting at 18%

Language has evolved really quickly and what's socially acceptable changes every year. I'm with the boomers in that if we use language that is outdated, please assume ignorance not malice! I accidentally used a slur a few years ago that is common in my community (referring to eye shape) and had no idea it was a slur until someone told me...thankfully kindly and privately. I do wish the assumption was "you probably didn't know this but..." and not "YOU ARE A BIGOT!"

Learning a level of self sufficiency. Learn how to do basic stuff for yourself instead of just hiring someone. A leaky tap takes a trip to the hardware store, a few youtube vids and 10 minutes of your time, or $70 for a plumber who stays for 5 minutes. Learn how to change a tire instead of waiting an hour for someone else to do it in 15 minutes.

Learn resilience so you can try, fail, try, fail, try, succeed or accept that you gave it a go but it's just something you can't do instead of not trying in the first place for fear of failure.

"Not Everything Needs To Connect To The Internet": 40 Young People Share What Things Boomers Might Be Right About I like physically owning the movies you love.

I have friends who love the movie and watch it on Netflix whenever they can...... and then Netflix removes it. And if it's a rare find, then you might never see it again. Owning a physical copy means you get to keep it and cherish it forever.

And if you're on a plane, where the movie options can sometimes be garbage? A handheld BluRay player is your answer.

Also I love the artwork of BluRay covers. Another reason to have a physical copy.

You shouldn't be taking long recordings at live shows. You paid for an experience, namely seeing an artist you like perform in the flesh. Watch it with your own goddamn eyes. If you want to watch a video of them performing live, search it up on youtube. There will be plenty of videos with better quality than your iphone can capture.

I'm convinced they are for people who don't know how they work, which is what they are banking on. And these devices are most certainly not smart.

Along the same line for home appliances... if it needs an app to operate, it's a shitty device and you're making a mistake.

"Not Everything Needs To Connect To The Internet": 40 Young People Share What Things Boomers Might Be Right About There is an old acronym K.I.S.S.

Keep It Simple Stupid.

Just because you can make something super flashy/complicated/intriguing or otherwise impressive, doesn't mean you should.

This goes from everything from cars to computer software to movies and film.

Trying too hard to make something impressive only leaves you with something that may look pretty but doesn't have proper support.

I have a co worker whose lived here 15 years and doesn't speak a word of English. I've learned spanish to accommodate him. I have no problem bettering myself and learning a 2nd language, but he should also make an effort to meet me halfway. I have another coworker who has learned English, I respect him 100x more than the guy who won't even try.

College should be something you can work a summer job to pay off a semester for, and the fact that it's not is nuts.

Edit: stop responding to this, please. I meant more the attitude the boomers have towards it, as many gloat that they were able to just work a summer job and pay off their tuitions and don't care to acknowledge how much that has changed. About 20 people now have chimed in with "well ackshually......" I get it.

nah this one I disagree with. If you've ever traded stocks and watched how volatile they are against sentiment, you'll see it's the same thing: fake money/ fake value. I know people will downvote this so let me give an example. When a company's stock value rises, does it mean (a) they are working harder (b) they are producing more products (c) their efficiency has improved ...? Try twitter. Once Musk bought it, did the stock price go up or down? Why? Did it magically start making more tweets? Did it magically draw more ad revenue than before? Same for bitcoin, dogecoin, etc. Every time musk says something the value fluctuates. It's all just psychology.

Make your kids go outside and play. They need hours of play time in fresh air and socializing. Stop keeping them cooped up on computer games.

I had to teach my 11 and 12 year old nephews how to rude bikes last summer because they never learned how. They were never outside long enough. Their parents still don't let them go outside.

The family unit. A set of parents (or parent) that actually care about their kids more than their phones, social media and their next hookup. Kids that are brought up with morals, taught right from wrong and how to respect other people. Eating dinner together as a family at least a few nights a week.

Yes some people still do this, but I feel like its fallen by the wayside with a lot of the young generation.

Worldwide it's become stupid with this. A server in a restaurant in the US where they are paid shite and have to live on tips, i can go for it. In Sweden where as a waitress/ waiter you are paid a very very decent wage (due to wage laws in Sweden) and you put no effort into your service, you are not getting a tip, no way. You are not expected to give a server in BK or Maccas a tip, so why do they think just because they are in a restaurant they deserve it while being less service minded than a fast food worker. I am just talking about Sweden and bother Scandinavian countries.

Social media is pretty toxic. It's amazing how much better my mental health got after deleting Facebook. Although ironically, seems Boomers have made the switch to being all over FB, twitter, etc.

Also, as someone else posted you really don't need to publicly post every second of your life. I've gotten to the point of mildly cringing on the occasions I pull out snapchat and see someone posting 15-20 photos of a single night.

We need to encourage people that STEM degrees have more value than poli-sci degrees and there's nothing wrong with going to trade school. Being a plumber may be shitty but they can make absolute bank.

Edit: ALSO!! There's no shame and shouldn't be a stigma for going to school later in life/going back to school later.

Edit 2: I have since changed my opinion and now believe that STEM degrees have the same value as humanities, poli-sci, liberal arts, etc. But we should promote all of them equally. Especially trade schools!

"Woke culture" is annoying. People don't realize that celebrating things like sexuality (especially in the presence of children) or skin color is idiotic.

If being gay or being black is supposed to be **normal** then why the f**k do we need parades for it?

I think this post answers its own question. We need parades to call awareness to these things until they *are* considered normal, and no longer necessitate discussions with strangers to justify
