Provocative, flame-bait anti-Boomer rant in response to anti-Millennial rants. Personally I find that the name-calling simply devolves into an endless cycle of mutual blaming that helps no-one.

Even allowing the validity of such labels as "Boomer" and "Millennial", each group's general situation is so far outside the other's that they might as well be different worlds. Compound this with the Fundamental Attribution Error and odds aren't good for any rational discussion.

That sounds more like Gen-X, who really are the kids of Baby Boomers. Millennials are the grandchildren of Baby Boomers.

All this "let's create tension between generations" is really old and formulaic... "New = good, Old = bad." It comes off as just desperate for attention.

Personally... I liked Tucker Max a lot more when he was writing dribble for frat boys, at least those were stupidly entertaining.
