Someone is "old" because they dont follow what some dumb celebrity does?
I'm 31 and I dont know a good portion of the people this place freaks out over unless their a popular actor/actress, and I dont really care to know either.
I got warned for asking a legit question years ago about the Xbox refund policy. Don't feel too bad. lol

I am 32 and I barely know who this Travis Scott is except he somehow has his own burger at American McDonalds.
I'm 39 and I at least know how to spell The Weeknd's name correctly. Damn Zoomer, get back to school!

Exactly. I'm on the younger end of Gen X but my students think I'm a boomer, even though that's my parents' generation.
One thing I've noticed now that I'm in to middle age is that the provincialism of the old is matched only by the provincialism of the young.
We don't need threads that divide this community. If you're going to start complaining about specific age groups or "types" of people I've got news for you.
You're the problem.
You're the problem.
Yepppp this is exactly it.
any time slang comes up too. I'll never forget the one guy who got angry over the word "tryna"
I legit got accused of domestic violence when I mentioned I lay the pipe hard when my wife gets cranky about work....
My first consoles were an Intellivision and an Atari 2600, I'm still not a Boomer, LOL.
Edit** I asked my 13-year-old who Travis Scott was and she didn't know 🤷🏼♂️🤣

lol consider this, most of the people here were already old when they had already spent close to half their lives on GAF, so imagine how old they are now.
Hey now, sometimes they don't need us to solve their problems, they just need to vent.
No offense but not picking up that the general meaning of Boomer has shifted to just "old out of touch person" and not literally babyboomers is peak boomer. :P
Similar to how millenial just came to mean "someone younger than me who annoys me" regardless of actual birth date.
It's like the inverse of the whole Paul McCarney and Kanye thing...you know OP Paul McCartney the guy who got his big break in music working with Kanye West
There are hardly any baby boomers here at all. Get off social media and the net and learn what "boomers" actually means. If you are calling Millenials (Gen Y really) and Gex Xers "boomers", then I got nothing for ya except:
Its hardly a big deal that everyone doesnt know who everybody is in the world of entertainment and celebrity.
In the grand scheme of things its not important at all.
I have no expectation that people should know all the things I like, or who is current in my life with regards to music / film / whatever.
Dismissing somebody as a boomer or anything else because they don't know the latest musician or slang is a bit shit to be honest.
Now something important, serious topic of discussion ...... I wouldnt derail with questions of whom ........ I would go and find out first as best I can.
I'll give Mr. Scott this, he popularized the concept of dipping your french fries into BBQ sauce which is the objectively better condiment.
