Why does White Monster = Boomers?
White Monster is probably the best Monster drink (and I'm a millennial).

Quote History

Quoted:

Flashback to 1994 as some Boomer hands out trophies to the entire little league. Looking down at them with disdain he tells them "Here's your participation trophies you self entitled snowflakes. You Millennials make me sick." The group of 7 year olds look on in confusion, with no idea what exactly the old man is ranting about.

IMO it's like the spoiled teen girl crying how her parents ruined her life by not getting her the new car she wanted...she wanted a new BMW and got a new Civic.

Response: After you Boomers destroyed the family, outsourced all our jobs to China, bankrupted Social Security, and then refused to retire because of your poor retirement planning, it did become more difficult to get the kind of job you need to get a BMW.

It comes from having too easy of a life given to them by the generation they choose to blame for all their own personal failures.

Response: Yes, growing up in the 80s or later was clearly easier than growing up in the 1950s. Growing up in a broken homes, getting shot at in public schools, and then if you happen to get into college, going into debt for decades pales in comparison to having no remote control for your television.

Imagine the 1930 depression generation blaming their parents...nope, no time for that when they were hungry with no shoes...then came WWII for them.

Response: imagine being raised by the Greatest Generation, and then proceeding to tear down every institution they built - the church, local communities, marriage, etc. because you smoked a joint in college and decided no one over 30 could be trusted.

Hell these kids have no fucking clue who to blame (but not themselves of course). "It's daddies fault" but wait your generation chose not to marry (have a dad) or even be bothered to have kids...Hmmm. "It's daddies fault too we are becoming a minority" lol.

Response: the kids didn't destroy marriage with no-fault divorce and free love. The kids didn't pass the 1965 Immigration Act flooding the country with third worlders.

Boomer criticisms of Millennials aren't even fucking consistent.

One day they'll bitch about how wasteful Millennials are being on stupid shit like Avacado Toast.
But then another day, they'll bitch about how Millennials are spending less on Restaurants and eating more at home.

"Millennials are now killing the [Insert random luxury] industry!"

It’s not really the Boomers fault that they were born in the era of the most sophisticated and refined propaganda machine in world history, and before there were easily accessible alternative media sources to turn to.

Every generation from the invention of mass media until the internet became ubiquitous has been more blue pilled than the one that preceded it, they just don’t see it because they were taught that propaganda is something that happens in communist run countries and and third world shitholes, failing to realize that post war America is the former and gradually transforming into the latter.

'"Boomer" is the N-word of ageism. Being hip and flip does not make bigotry ok, nor is a derisive epithet acceptable because it is new.'
That is radio host Bob Lonsberry, described in his Twitter bio as an Army veteran and a churchgoing member of the National Rifle Association, taking offense to the use of the word "boomer."

The classification has, indeed, been popping up more often lately, thanks to the emergence of the phrase "ok, boomer," which has become a meme for dismissing out-of-touch arguments from the older generation.

Unless you're talking to someone that's over 100 years old, "yall" didn't vote for social security. It was an FDR era issue. No boomer (by the strict year definition) voted for Medicare, since it started in 1965. So, you're talking greatest generation there. Further, plenty of younger people voted for the ACA. No generation has clean hands. I'm surprised people think that our current crop of 20-40 year olds could somehow manage to govern any better, on average, than anyone else. It'll be shit just like it's always been. Probably a little worse, since that seems to be the general historical trend.

No matter how much someone "prooves" some other generation is to blame for their trouble, it will not help improve their life. The whole thing is stupid, leaving aside whether or not it's true.

Many older people have a disconnect from younger generations' experiences. Many people in younger generations are lazy and suffer from huge entitlement issues. If you could magically change one of those things, which has the most impact?
