    Hey, I'm old enough to remember when we boomers were both a) lusted after by American corporations as the consumers of tomorrow ("Pepsi, for those who think young") and decried by many asshole pundits as proof the country was going to hell. That is to say, we are the millenials of yesteryear. It's all the same bullshit, repeated endlessly throughout human history.

    Still think there was an attempted joke not aimed at me that failed. And maybe I reacted wrongly...

    As a full blooded Boomer, Class of '56, I resent some of this shit. A lot of us are average Joes, not responsible for what Congress, the President, or corporate executives did, any more than the GenX, Y, Millenials, or whoever else are. We were left in a good place by our parents, did some good things and some bad, but the vast majority of us just lived our lives and tried to get by. We're not responsible for the failings of a generation, any more than you are for Mark Zuckerburg's choices.

    Yeah, yeah, "Ok, Boomer". I get it... but it paints with an awfully broad brush.

    If you graduated high school in 1956, you're not a Boomer. If you meant you were born in 1956, OK, Boomer.

    As a Gen Xer, I’ll just stand over here to the side, making sarcastic comments and wishing people remember we exist.

    As a firm Gen-Xer....whatever. I’ll keep working and support everyone else with no recognition. I’m apathetic. Prozac Nation was 24 years ago and nobody paid attention.

    Listen, the 1990s was the best era for music -- better than the 60s -- and kids nowadays have DJ bullshit like fucking David Guetta, who empirically blows :)

    Not sure I can 100 percent say better than the 60s, but 90s music was damn, damn good. In the conversation for sure. As for today’s stuff... mostly I’m ignorant of it. The popular stuff is... OK?

    Taylor Swift is OK. The rest of it is crap in a wrapper.
