Is it me or are the boomers here are too darn proud of being boomers. So often when there is a thread about a celebrity doing something, we get posts of people asking who they are or in most cases acting proud to the fact they dont know them. Example would be the travis scot ps5 controller thread and the thread about the weekend. I just dont get it, has the participation of boomers increase due to them being sent home for their nursey homes?

Discuss.

That recent poll in which the majority of the forum stated their first console was the NES explained a lot.

Dude I'm millennial as fuck (35) and I'm pretty out of touch.

I don't think Gen Z actually knows what a Boomer is. It's not just "anyone older than me".

Forums are basically only visited by older people, I don't know what you expected.

"Who?" posts are fucking annoying though, use Alta Vista or Ask Jeeves or whatever old people use to find the answer yourself, grandpa

who is that in your avatar

I'm a millennial and I don't know who Travis Scott is, but I do quite enjoy The Weekend, and weekends in general.

OP don't you think that it's a good thing that a wide range of people can be brought together by a common interest?

this is like moving to the villages and complaining that all your neighbors are old

You aren't wrong. I'd rather be surrounded by old people than annoying people my own age (20's) on reddit tho.

We talked about this near the end of the Travis Scott thread. That proud ignorance always rears it's ugly head when it's about Black culture or hip-hop.

Black Era has been noticing this trend.

Bonus points were people in that thread saying things to the effect of "I don't care about Trap artists" (Travis is not a Trap artist, hmmmmmm)
