boomer folklore 

Boomer folklore is a term used to describe ideas and conceptions about the world, held by those who we may consider "boomers", which are not necessarily accurate depictions of reality - think 'old wives tales' but the modern description.
Gen Z 1) "Bruh my boomer parents think that the government detect the signals coming from your house, if you're watching TV without a TV licence, do you think that's true?"

Chad Gen Z) "My bruh, don't listen to them, that's just boomer folklore."

boomer brain 

A state of being from when you cant process simple logic or basic instructions and your brain becomes overwhelmed, lowering your brain power and capacity to minimal levels, just enough to support life.

Same thing 'boomers' experience when using any form of modern technology (eg smartphones, computers etc).

Any generation can experience "Boomer Brain"

Boomer Bend 

A guitar string bending technique that is just about the laziest trope of the last 60 years of electric guitar. Coined by Polyphia guitarist Tim Henson, the boomer bend was introduced to mainstream boomer audiences by boomer guitarists such as Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page. It’s commonly associated with ‘da blooze’ and can be heard in sundry dive/sports bars and holes-in-the-wall from Tallahassee to Thailand. Technically it encompasses either bending from the 4th to the (b)5th on the third string, or from the b7 to the root on the first -all within the pentatonic minor box shape. This is typically accompanied with a facial expression between sucking a lemon and a constipated bowel movement. Performative soul. What happens when white people try to be Albert King.
I’m too lazy to learn scales or theory on guitar so boomer bends have been a life-saver. Hey, it was good enough for most of the bands at Woodstock!
