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."

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.

A hippicritical and arrogant generation that tries to discredit younger generations despite that....
Baby boomers-
-Did not fight a war. (We have Iraq)
-Were more rebellious than US and they call us rebellious.
-Were hippies.
- Demand respect for your elders
- Did not really invent anything
-Want us all to work in a factory and are just mad that they can't understand our job descriptions.
-Were literally born only because they needed more population and not because people wanted kids. (Ouch)
- Did not have to worry about crushing college debts that the younger generations have to worry about.
List goes on....

Baby Boomer- (n) 1. An incompetent, fat, grey, lazy product of the "greatest generation," born between 1941 and 1955. 2. The nemesis of Gen X. 3. Former "Hippie" currently holding tenured academic professorship in disciplines requiring intelligence beyond their predetermined genetic capacity for advanced abstract reasoning. 4. Member of the largest demographic bubble in America that also refuses to retire. See "Viagrant"
1. Mr. Smith, an overweight, diabetic Baby Boomer and father of two comes from a family of accomplished Engineers and WWII veterans, yet, he has held his current position since the mid-1970's as a clerk/supervisor in an area that could easily be automated with computer code.
2. I can't believe that Baby Boomer is still my boss.
3. Not only I will have to pay for this Hippie's Medicare for the next 40 years, but this same Baby Boomer may very well reject my proposal for PhD research because my work would diametrically oppose everything he has championed since Johnson was President of the US.
4. I can't believe I have a Master's degree and military experience, but my boss, Mr. Smith, a Baby Boomer that graduated high school way back in the 60's, just won't retire, thus preventing me from advancing past him, as easily as I normally could!

Someone from the age of 55-75 who grew up with everything handed on a silver platter to them by the previous generation and try to take credit for it. A lot of these people also have a victim complex where even though they had an amazing economy and low cost of living that they had it the hardest. They also think the world owes them something and are the most entitled generation while claiming millennials are entitled by asking to be able to afford to live. They think they can insult anyone else but nobody else is allowed to insult them because of "respect your elders" even though they dont respect anyone else.
Millennial: bro I dont know how I'm gonna pay next months rent I only make 30k a year even with a bachelors degree
Baby boomer: YOU MILLENNIALS ARE SO ENTITLED BACK IN MY DAY WE HAD TO DRINK OUT OF THE GARDEN HOSE YOU SNOWFLAKE

An elderly person who should not be allowed to purchase an electronic device without first consulting with a ten-year-old regarding its proper use and maintenance.
I watched in horror as my baby boomer boss pounded on the keyboard in an attempt to "figure out the e-mail."
