        As a boomer myself, I prefer the term "tragically hip"

        Hahahaha That's kind of what I was thinking -- so many ways to go: tragically broken hip or, tragically, you're still a hippy or, you think you're hip? Tragic. 😊

        Boomers were the pioneers of entitlement and we're all fu#cked as a result.

        I never really noticed their becoming entitled until the retire. I got no beef with boomers otherwise.

        Baby boomers. The word "Baby" should be young enough right? Admit it, when you're old, you're old. I'm a milennial and i don't mind people calling me old when I am in fact old.
