Boomer Hate Thread

There is nothing a boomer hates more than the idea they're actually old and their "time" has passed. 30 is the new 20. 40 is the new 30. 50 is the new...20? Your sixties are when you really get into the swing of it, actually! And so on. They hiss and resent mentoring or bringing up the younger generations in any way because they implicitly understand they are the boomers "replacements". I also think it has something to do with the idea everyone should just do it themselves. Just magically know everything! Teach yourself everything! Because it's all part of their "self-made" image. Even though they did get a lot of help and grew up during a pretty lucky time as far as being able to advance economically.

They seem to think this treatment is just the usual "hazing" and "teasing" you give any new prospect but conveniently never remember this is meant to be balanced out with actually teaching said prospects something useful and not paying them shit tier wages.

Paper Machete covered it well, but I have a corollary for this: if a boomer has to heed advice, their response will range from snark to open hostility and threats. If they're told to be careful of ice, they might respond with, "Well, maybe I'm looking to skate on by out of here!" Or, "If I fall I'll come back and sue your fuckin' ass!" Then they openly cry foul that nobody is well mannered in any job.

One thing I hate that I don't recall reading in this thread is I can go into any store and almost guarantee I'll be listening to the same shitty rock bands they have been listening to since they were young adults. Bands like Journey, Boston, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC,, what-have-you have been on repeat every minute of every hour of every day for more than fifty years at this point. Frankly, every service worker should have been entitled to ear plugs since the 90s.

Story #1: UK residence but not in a major urban center with jobs. Lmao if they thought that would sell as anything but a vacation home.
Story #2: Selling a house in Florida. Yeah, just not happening in this market. Texas, Florida, and a few other states are buyers markets with an excess volume of homes on the market, often in undesirable locations.

YES!!!! You nailed that shit to the wall, brother. I was thinking about that today while I was at my retail job. All these bands playing over the speakers in retail establishments have literally been playing since the 60s at the earliest. The "timeless" pop-culture has been held hostage by boom booms and their Gen X cohorts. We can let the Beatles go. We can let Black Sabbath go. We can let Elvis go. We can let CCR go. Other things aren't allowed to become timeless because the boomers and gen x think that the world should've ended with them and that their stuff is the best stuff. Once someone pointed out that 80s Nostalgia has lasted longer than the 80s, I never stopped noticing just how bad the culture really, earnestly needs to move on from this shit, even if it IS good stuff. It's not the ONLY stuff.

Then you walk into a Taco Bell or Burger King and all you hear is Top 50 Pop and Country and are jolted back to current day.



Thread Tax: I had a conversation with a Boomer once while stocking movies at work. My boss asked me "What's the best Terminator movie?" just to make conversation and this boomer fuck turns around to me and goes "There's only one right answer". So I go "It's objectively gotta be 2, right? Although personally I didn't mind Genesis or Salvation, I know, I know" and the Boomer goes "Hrumph there wouldn't BE a second one if it weren't for the first one".

In that moment, he unknowingly summed up the entire Boomer mindset perfectly.
 
I keep seeing boomer (and genxer too) bosses whining in media, that fresh graduates and young people in general ask for ridiculously high wages at the interviews.

--Retard, had you listed the wage right on the hiring ad just like a decent employer should do, you wouldn't hear unrealistic expectations from young people who don't really know what to ask for and don't want to lowball themselves. You've already set on how much exactly you want to pay a new hire, and you ask them what money do they expect just to show them who pulls the longer end of the rope and to humiliate them.

Trump spoke at the WEF and stared directly that he could easily make housing affordable for the struggling young families that need it, but he actively chooses not to because then the people (baby boomers) who own the houses would lose money.

I've accepted that Trump, as a baby boomer, exclusively governs for the benefit of his fellow conservative boomers and anything he does that helps the youth is coincidental.

I like Trump, but this one stings...

In some ways I get it, even past not screwing Boomers, they are the generation with the largest voting block and will vote for infinity migrants and social programs through the Dems to burden young people with if their values go down. A sad reality of having the most out-of-touch generation being the one that practically dictate the entire country. I can understand it, but it still pisses me off that we probably got another 10 years of this shit regardless of a Dem or Republican administration.

Their pop music was definitely better buts that's because modern pop is just percussive sounds made in a computer program and someone's autotuned vocal fry, and is all that seems to be produced these days. Really not hard to beat that.

I ain't even mad anymore. It's easy money so works as a business model and tards who listen to mainstream radio to get their music get what they deserve. Most people I think just use YT with ad blockers or some other streaming site and if they really want to download it from there to keep.

Maybe that's why music sucks so bad sometimes. Because only the most normie slop types are even bothering to tune in when everyone else can just immediately look up exactly what they want when they want it.

Good employers have standard pay grades. You can move up or down a bit within a band but there's not a ton of wiggle room for negotiation. You'll get a promotion or a new job title if you warrant way higher pay.

It doesn't help that the boomer's idea of "ridiculously high" is basically "standard salary for a trained professional 30 years ago". You tell a boomer you make $60k/yr and they act like you've got enough to own a mansion, meanwhile most jobs these days either require you to live in some expensive urban shithole where you'll be paying 50%+ of your take-home in rent alone or pay absolutely jack fucking shit but let you live in an area where you'll "only" be paying a more standard 30% of your take-home in rent, but good luck building savings for a house with what you have left over.

I am (regrettably) a trained (and unemployed due to the shit canuckistani economy) software engineer. In my province in Canada, tech salaries are literally lower today than they were 10 years ago, and even then they were still lower than what my fucking father was making in the 90's and 00's. You tell them "Yeah I'd like, uh, at least $80k/yr for your job that requires me to rent an apartment for $2700/mo+electrical in downtown Toronto so I can be on-call for the office and also wants a candidate with 5+ YoE and highly specific experience" and they look at you like you didn't just quote them the barest fucking minimum that a sane person would willingly live on in that location. Similarly, when you say "Uh yeah, hey, I'd like $23/hr for this job that requires me to operate a forklift outdoors in freezing temps and occasionally overhead lift 100+lbs by hand" to some half-drunk boomer in Shitfucksville, they act like you just asked them if they'd let you fuck their daughter as a bonus.

If they actually listed the salaries, they'd get no applicants. Back in September I saw a junior software engineer job in Toronto listing an expected salary of $55k. I bookmarked it because it made me laugh. It's still up as of yesterday.

Typical starting BS engineer wages in the US (for non-retard degrees in non-retard locations) are about $75k/year. It varies a bit depending on the field, employer, and location but ~$75k is a good estimate. 10 years ago I would have told you $60k.
