Oh so we can't call the current generation baby boomers

skbohra Jul 5, 2010 View on HN

this is again a case of old generation blaming new generation. Come on oldies, let us live our way.

It seems like a generational thing.

Just Gen X being called boomers, once again

Could be the children of baby boomers, except it seems like it's about a decade late?

This looks to be a Gen X story. I am not sure what the Boomers have to do with this?

Every generation has told the generation younger than them that they are not pulling their weight. I am Gen X, and I genuinely feel the Millenials and Gen Z, are getting the short end of the stick. Fuck the boomers,they shat on everything.

Boomers? Did you mean millennials?

Baby boomers ruined everything else, might as well blame them for this too
