    This reminds me of the "Old Economy Steve" meme.

    I don't know about that, but there's a growing literature for boomers on how to cope with millennials' short attention span disorders. :D

    e.g., "Combating the Millennial Attention Span to Keep Your Team Engaged: Although they might possibly have the attention span less than that of a goldfish, millennials will soon run the world":

    I want to get a shirt that says, “I’m an OK Boomer!”

    I’m not worried about this generation. There’s always someone willing to do the work to get paid. In this day and age of the internet and social media, a few enterprising individuals might even find a way to make complaining profitable. But for the most part, if all you do is b****, you eventually suffer.

    Generally agree. Mostly hate the narratives people make about how this or that generation is. Anyone who thinks millennials act entitled has forgotten how I behaved when I was young.

    Because baby boomers are still enjoying the fruit of previous generations labor. While generations behind them are struggling because their lack of giving a ****.

    Circle of life. One day, they will be the old farts to their young progeny having to suffer the indignity of a clever (lame?) insult.

    Reminds me of my boomer family members still. Why are you relying on me to fix an extinct piece of technology, that existed before I was born, that you simply never bothered to understand.

    As an elder Millennial, I think being "average" was much more forgiving during the Boomers' years.
