baby boomers

Could you classify any of this as actual food? We can't, but apparently a lot of people did back in the day. If your Boomer parents ever try to tell you how much better life was back then, just hit 'em with an "OK Boomer" and show them this gallery of horrifying foods from the mid-twentieth century that will almost certainly make your stomach churn. Bring on the jello.

You've certainly already seen the 'OK Boomer' meme trend and probably had a good hearty laugh over it if you're a Millennial or Zoomer. In case you thought the Boomer roasting was over - it's not. Here are 17 hilarious sh*t-talking memes that really put the old people in their place.

Millennials and Baby Boomers have been engaging in humorous back-and-forth banter for quite some time now, but we're beginning to think that these "OK Boomer" memes mark the start of a full-on war between the generations. We're not saying that we think bullying is okay, however, there's only so much climate-change denial and sh*t-talking about avocado toast that a person is willing to take. 

And perhaps the Millennials have reached their limit.

Some say that the Millennial generation's greatest contribution to society has been memes, and honestly we can't say we disagree. That might sound silly to people who are members of older generations, but young people know the importance of memes in today's dismal world. Memes are an art form, dammit.

For a generation that completely destroyed the economy and the environment, Baby Boomers sure do like to talk a whole lot of sh*t about Millennials. Sometimes you just need some schadenfreude-heavy posts to remind you who the real worst generation is. 

And at the end of the day, us young people will always have the last laugh in knowing that the old people can't even log into their Hotmail accounts without our help.

Some people think the left can't meme, others feel the right can't meme. Politics aside, most of us can agree that boomers are absolutely helpless in the meme department. The Cropped Boomer Images Twitter account takes those cringe-filled memes and crops them into bizarre, surreal memes that are as funny as they are absurd. Here are some of our favorite of their crazy offerings, but you should definitely follow them to keep up with the madness. 

Us Millennials kind of got the short end of the stick in life. We inherited a ruined economy, most of us are in a crap-load of student debt, and then to round it all out our Baby Boomer parents like to blame us for being "lazy" and "entitled." Not an entirely fair accusation coming from a generation that makes us work for free in exchange for "exposure."

Anyway, enjoy these memes that might make you feel a little more understood as a member of Generation Y.

The war between Millennials and Baby Boomers has never been more pronounced! Twitter user @manhattanna tweeted earlier this week about a Facebook group in which Millennials communicate solely in Baby-Boomer lingo and let us just say, we're HERE. FOR. IT. The group hits way too close to home for literally anyone who's friends with a Baby Boomer on Facebook.

So without further ado, please enjoy a plethora of Minions, death announcements, and wildly inappropriately placed emojis!

Pretty much every person over the age of 50 loves to complain about how terrible the current generation is, from smart phones to our being "entitled" about everything (because God forbid we just want to eat, amirite?). So the next time an old person tries to pull that crap on you, just whip out this gallery of highly disturbing foods that the public actually used to consume throughout the 20th century, and we're betting that it'll shut down any and every argument they could possibly have about who the "best generation" is.

Oh look, Millennials are back at it ruining everything! A new survey conducted by Porch and tweeted out by Now This News claims that Millennials might be the worst generation at cooking ever, and that nearly 40% don't even know what a butter knife is. Additionally, only about 40% know how to carve a turkey. The horror.

Porch surveyed 750 people of all ages, asking them if they considered themselves to be "good cooks" - just over 60% of Millennials answered yes, while well over 70% of Baby Boomers said the same.   

Many on Twitter have pointed out that the reasoning and methods used by the surveyors is heavily flawed - it's almost like hating on Millennials is all just a big marketing ploy to distract us from real problems! Lol nah, that can't be it...

Social media can be a powerful tool when it comes to getting your comedic fix. We love Tumblr in particular for its cleverness, its cringe, and its straight fire comedy. Even if you yourself don't have a Tumblr account, you can still appreciate the users on the site who really uphold the highest standards of wit!

Generation Y gets a lot of sh*t constantly for supposedly being lazy, entitled and easily offended. Are these things actually true? The answer to that is of course subjective, but if you're a Millennial then you'll know that stereotypes about us tend to be a bit (or a lot) overplayed, and these tweets make light of that.
