baby boomer revision disorder

a problem with baby boomers to think that everything good in the world came from them. In reality, it did not.

Modern computers? Those were invented by cracking the codes of Nazi Germany in World War... that's the Greatest/G.I. Generation.

The Internet? That was created by two men, one born in 1943 and the other in 1938, both well before the baby boom (1946-1965).

World Wide Web? Okay, yes, two British baby boomers invented it originally, BUT...

The MODERN World Wide Web and Internet, with the new end-to-end encryption, WhatsApp, Google, YouTube, Skype, etc.? Those were ALL updated and modified by Generations X and Y (AKA millennials), NOT BOOMERS!

Basically, boomers are not responsible for creating the vast majority of modern technology and society. There was much created WELL BEFORE them that allowed to add their little contribution, and there was much modifying, updating, and innovating that made modern technology work like it is today WELL AFTER them.

Next, boomers will be taking credit for ending WWII (LOL!!!), creating Facebook (ROTFL!!!), and inventing the lightbulb (LMFAOOOOOO!!).

When a Generation Xer or millennial comes up with a device to help the world adapt to global warming and the dangerously changing climate without the human population dying out, then boomers will take credit for that as well. Pathetic. Garbage in, garbage out.

Another example of baby boomer revision disorder is how they think that they were the most revolutionary, badass generation growing up, even though a quick talk with the Silent and Greatest Generation will tell you that these narcissists did absolutely nothing for civil rights or the environment and are still trying to claim all the credit for them.

baby boomer 

Spoiled, arrogant, and self-absorbed, Baby boomers will try to convince you that they are the "greatest generation".

Baby boomers seem to be stuck in the 1960's and are convinced that the art of music peaked in that era, and therefore think highly of Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, and The Doors; yet they think Classical Music is "crap".

Baby boomers are self-conscious and insecure about their own advancing age, so they address 20 and 30-somethings as children and teenagers in order to feel "young". They marry, and even have kids, with people more than half their age. They also drive around in sports cars in a laughable attempt to act "cool" and "with it", despite the fact these same people have no grasp on modern technology.

Baby boomers tend to call Gen X and Gen Y "lazy", "entitled", and "stupid", and act like they are perfect despite the fact the boomers had everything handed to them, as opposed to their parent's generation, who had to suffer through the great depression and WW2, and their children (Gen X and Y) who have to suffer through the worst economic downturn since the depression, which the boomers are responsible for creating in the first place with their whole "me me me" attitude.

Baby boomers can't accept the fact their generation is becoming irrelevant. They refuse to retire and pass the torch to the succeeding generations. Because if they had their way, they would be in control of politics and big business until they are all dead.

Example #1: Baby boomers were against the war in Vietnam in the 60's, but SUPPORTED the war in Iraq in the 2000's.
Example #2: Baby boomers are the main reason for the problems in the world today.
Example #3: Baby boomers are bitter because they are now seniors.

Baby Boomer resentment 

"Baby Boomer resentment" is a term used to describe the growing feeling of resentment among "Millennials" that they are working to pay for the Social Security and Medicare of Baby Boomers, but they are paying into a system that will be bankrupt and gone by the time they are old enough to retire and have the same benefits. They feel they will be robbed. . . . . . . {The Millennial Generation (or Millennials), also known as Generation Y, describes the demographic group following Generation X. Since there are no exact dates (as of 2011) for when the Millennial Generation starts and ends, commentators have used birth dates ranging somewhere from the mid-1970s to the early 2000s. Members of this generation are also called Echo Boomers, due to the significant increase in birth rates through the 1980s and into the 1990s, and because many of them are children of Baby Boomers}. . . . . . . {A Baby Boomer is a person who was born during the demographic Post-World War II baby boom, from 1946 to 1964}.

Minnennial speaking: "I have 'Baby Boomer resentment' because I'm going to be working all of my life to pay for millions of retired Baby Boomers and when I am old enough to retire there won't be any Social Security or Medicare for me."

Older generation that act like toddlers with too much power.

That baby boomer missed the early bird meal, pitched a tantrum, and drove his town car into the side of the building.

Baby Boomer 

Baby boomers are the generation of people who decided to mess everything up and leave it up to the generation after them to clean everything up and deny they did anything wrong in the first place. Often by changing the subject by talking about how technology dumbs down kids and talking about how kids are so entitled. They may show a political cartoon, a type of meme for old people, usually showing how technology is ruining the youth.

20 y/o: Grandpa, why didn't you replace the toilet paper roll. There's only one sheet left.
Baby Boomer Grandfather: I didn't use all of it. Its not my job to replace it. Why do all of you kids feel so entitled now-a-days? Probably those damn Iphones and gameboys and pokemons you dumb millennials play with. Damn evilspawns.

Baby Boomer 

An American who was born between 1941 and 1955. This generation is collectively known as "the baby boomers" or "the boomers" and was given everything it ever wanted through the hard work of its parents. Many of these boomers grew up to be self-righteous individuals who today are attempting to destroy every well-meaning public service program in existence.

In response to the 1970's oil crisis, the boomers passed legislation to expand the fuel efficiency of motorized vehicles. After the crisis subsided however, the boomers decided to forgo their efforts instead of learning from the experience, causing America to pay dearly today as a result. Their ridiculous spending in the housing market only combined with this folly to produce the economic meltdown that the country knows all-too-well today.

Favorite pass-times include bullying 20-somethings over perceived irresponsibility, overeating, not exercising, spending large sums of money, and introducing corrupt maladaptive political legislation. Unfortunately specific examples would not serve to prove these concepts well, as no set of examples could sufficiently express the sheer stupidity and foolishness that the boomers have exhibited time and time again in The United States of America.

Overall, their generation will go down in the history books as being the most selfish and maladaptive the world has ever known.

College Student: "Wait, so you're telling me that just because I'm not over the age of 24 the federal government refuses to acknowledge the fact that I am financially independent and thus will not give me any more financial aid than I can already acquire?"
Financial Aid Adviser: "That's right. I'm sorry to say it, but the Baby Boomers just don't care about your generation that much... I'm sorry."

baby boomer 

The generation that destroyed the West.

This fucking baby boomer fought no wars, underfunded the welfare state, failed to have any kids, bought the White Album and was a generally self-righteous hippy cunt while Rome burned. Now he wants MY taxes to pay his pension and medical costs for 40 years of mounting senility? Fuck that.
