Get the Suicide Bait mug.A post or verbally stated postulation presented with the sole intent to get baby boomers to agree with it and express their approval via likes, shares, comments, exc. Typically, these posts will draw upon pre-standing biases/fears that are common for baby boomers to have. Such as; an aversion to technology, the thought that younger generations are lazy or entitled, jingoism, and the fear/hate/confusion of the LGBTQ community.
Typical Facebook timeline boomer bait:
"The world could use less Xboxes, and more tackle boxes. Share if you agree."
"Bravery used to mean you went to war and fought for your country. Now it means you're a man who likes men and won't shut up about it. Stop the world, I want off."
"Like if you love America, Share if you think it's the greatest country the world has ever seen."
