If they’re smart, they’ll start trying to figure out how to pass the tab on to Gen-Y.

It won’t be long before this thread turns into boomer bashing free for all.

That title would go to the self-congratulating aging hipsters of the baby-boomer generation

Sorry, I couldn’t resist. Every generation has its problems.

-Political Correct movement… which stamped out discrimination on its face, BARF!
If anything, the PC movement created a whole new brand of discrimination: reverse discrimination.

Thanks! I knew it was coming. It happens in every one of these threads when people start talking about generations.

Aging hipsters? No one born after 1952 or ‘53 could ever really have been a “hipster”. I’m 1959...I never felt that I was in the same league with the ‘43 to ‘53 league of boomers. I’d have been kidding myself.

Yeah, I'm with ya. I get tired of both generations finger pointing and playing the "this is all your gen's fault...." game.
Perhaps someone should post that "not this shit again!" graphic.

I’ve always heard that the “Baby Boom” generation were the ones born between 1946 and 1964, and that “Gen X” was born between 1961 and 1981. I was born in 1961 (same year as 0bama, yuk) so I’m never sure which annoying bunch of losers I’m supposed to belong to.

Emo came several years after grunge. Maybe the writer is thinking of “dreampop”.

What it did do is attempt to frame the argument in such a manner so that the only people "capable" of discrimination are whites. As I've pointed out to several of my black friends, that's actually an insult to them because of the implication that they are incapable of discrimination. To say that is to say that they are less human than you or me.

Has anyone told the sherpas not to eat the brown acid?
Apparently not.
