Worst Things About the "OK Boomer" Meme
Alright, by making this list, I should mention I AM NOT A BABY BOOMER (I am Gen-Z, alright?). However, this meme annoys the hell out of me, and here are the reasons I cannot stand it at all. I respect your opinion if you like it, but only if you don't call me a "boomer" yourself. You might already be familiar with the fact I cannot stand most memes (We are Number One, Let it Grow and the Discord dank memer are the only ones I actually like), but saying this is the worst meme of 2019 in my opinion is a serious accomplishment. And yes, I said it: Worse than Big Chungus, worse than Hit or Miss and worse than "Autistic" Screeching. And yes - even worse than Oh Yeah Yeah, and that is seriously saying something. However, if you do like this meme, good for you. And with that being said, here's the list.I don't get the joke. With most memes, I can understand what the basic joke is, even if I don't necessarily find it funny. Not the case here. My guess is, given how quickly the Internet makes memes out of anything, and since the Internet has been popular since 1995 (24 years ago as of this comment), eventually, they were going to run out of material. In the case of this meme, it seems the Internet meme machine is scraping the bottom of the barrel for material.
Like seriously, how is just saying "OK boomer" funny at all? It's just two words that have no meaning when you put them together. And the original song, it doesn't have any humor in it, either. The meme, if you can even SMILE at it, I have no words.
NOT FUNNY AT ALL, and this is coming from a Gen-Z teen. These guys may have caused global warming and pollution, but they were way more social, had better sounding accents, and made fantastic music.
Oh yeah! Those people born between 1946 and 1964. That's what make you remember that's where the word "boomer" originated from, and when people put common logic behind it, that's what can anger the baby boomers themselves.
Especially with the "jokes" about coronavirus being "natural selection", how it'll "take care of the boomers"
Especially the new form of it ("I hope the coronavirus kills off all the boomers")
You realize boomer can also mean a mentality. Usually someone who is backwards, regressive and stuck in the old days.
Also boomers constantly slander Gen Z and Millenials and act like hypocrites so I don't see why they can do that but we can't just make a meme about it.
Person 1: I don't find (insert joke here) funny!
Person 2: OK boomer
Wow. Well done remaking TTT in a nutshell. Did we really have to bring opinion disrespecting into a meme? That's not very respectful to others.
No, it is not a "mindset" or "mentality". People who insist otherwise just don't want to admit that their misuse of the word doesn't grant them the authority they think it does.
Worst song I've heard. Not only that, but apparently zoomers believe that anyone 65 or older classifies as a boomer, but you have to be born between 1946 and 1965 to be a baby boomer. BOOMER IS NOT ANOTHER WORD FOR A SENIOR CITIZEN!
Not sure what this would come under but I remember a list of top 100 songs from the 2010's (a list that to be fair was mostly just the most popular songs) one person objected to Blurred Lines being included due to it having a bad message and someone responded simply with OK boomer. This is really stupid and if anything only makes our generation look bad. Really disliking a song because you feel it is disrespectful to women makes you old? In that case then I don't mind being considered old although of course I am not.
Now, look. When you're telling someone "OK boomer", that can upset them and start drama. If you don't want to get in this drama, why do you start this in the first place? And how would you feel if you got called this? Nice try, that's what I thought.
No, revenge- no matter how "deserved" you think it is- is not "logic" or "common sense".
All you do with the meme is say OK boomer, OK boomer, OK boomer all over again when someone disagrees or says something you're not fully fond of. Fantastic.
Seriously, how many times before have you heard memes and jokes about roasting people on these types of things? I mean, never has there been one with a certain era of born babies, but the concept has been used more than enough.
Nor is it funny, clever, or justified
I mean, seriously. What's so spectacular about roasting someone by calling them a "boomer"? First of all, it's not just "boomer", it's "BABY boomer", and second of all, joking around by name-calling is a middle schooler thing.
Stupid AND unfunny
Wow. So should I be giving stupid names to people? It gets old so quickly and doesn't interest me at all. It just bores me too easily, honestly.
Every time you express your different feelings or opinions on something, prepare to get insulted. That's the literal concept of the meme.
"Okey dokey bout to croakey", "10-4 dinosaur", "roger that artifact", that kind of stuff. Sounds like kindergarten playground talk.
