Phew! I know that I am not a millennial… but, wasn’t quite sure if I was a ‘Boomer.’ Turns out, I am a ‘Gen Xer.’ Let’s start from the very beginning with a quick recap of what categories exist:
Silent Generation – Born between 1928 and 1945
Baby Boomer aka ‘Boomer’ – Born between 1946 and 1964
Gen X – Born between 1965 and 1980
Millennial – Born between 1981 and 2000
Generation Z – Born after 2000
DISCLAIMER: There are variations of these generations and their birth year – this is just one model I pulled from.
IMO, Millennials get picked on the most. So, let’s turn the tables and giggle over things that…
ONLY BOOMERS THINK ARE COOL….
The Top 5:
- Cursive
- China plates
- 24 hour news networks
- Diamonds
- Patterned wallpaper
These, are some honorable mentions:
Unpaid internships, Crocs, blaming Millennials, home shopping channels, Mom jeans, writing checks, landlines, transition lenses, the mall, khaki capri pants, phonebooks, ironing, Mrs. Dash, Avon, golf, linoleum…….. It’s a long list, but these were some of my faves.
