Pitting ‘generations’ against each other is a classic tactic to divide the people on meaningless bullshit. Don’t fall for it.
Culture war is a means to distract us from class war
You’re gonna need it kiddo.
This seems more accurate.
The top labels are reversed. I doubt a lesbian icon would be something boomers would appreciate.
Not to mention her capacity for change.
The first woman in space was a lesbian and I wouldn’t want it any other way.
The first woman in space was a lesbian and I wouldn’t want it any other way.
No, the first American woman in space was a lesbian.
Valentina Tereshkova, who beat Sally Ride to space by twenty years and two days, isn’t a lesbian (as far as we know). She’s been married twice, both times to men.
Lavender Marriages, she couldn’t be out.

Millennial spotted.
The generations are:
- Boomer: anybody older than me who I disagree with.
- Millennial: anybody younger than me who I disagree with
- Gen Z: anyone who uses whichever social networks are taboo at the moment.
The are no other generations.
Wow, I can’t believe you’d just ignore Girl’s Generation. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girls’_Generation
We should be fighting the 1%, not each other.
You forgot the fact that the 1% keep us poorly educated and propagandized against our own interests on purpose.
We’re so fucking stupid as a result, that Americans believe the following unironically:
I’ve met some people that are that fucking stupid.
It’s incredible to me that they manage to put on pants and get to work on time each morning.
You can always tell you’ve become a stupid person when any of these generation terms come up in your speech in any capacity.
As a millennial I … welll … uh … fuck you’re right
Gen X is usually on the boomer’s side.
Gen z - the generation raised by their boomer grandparents, dresses like them, I have a big surprise for you how they think… Yaba daba skibidi toilet dooo!
GenX has been fighting boomers from the start, we’re just exhausted now.
Thanks for the apathy, I don’t think it worked but it sure as shit looked cool.
Fighting? Us Gen Xers followed in the system the boomers laid out. What fighting??? The older Gen Xers got past the door. The younger half got shut out.
GenX has been fighting boomers from the start,
Bullcrap. We were too busy pretending politics didn’t affect us to fight anyone.
In the same way boomer hippies were “fighting” against their progenitors, sure.
Wearing flannel and complaining about the status quo does not make you a freedom fighter.
When a bunch of old MAGA bastards stormed the Capitol, were they using walkers because they’re over 70 on average or were they a crowd about 45-60 in age?
That Gen Z fighter is going to turn around, hit their trainer in the nuts and call them a boomer.
And then fortnite dance in their face while they’re hunched over.
Gen X looks too young in this.
I get that a lot.
I mean we are talking about people 45 to 60 years old at this point.
Turns out not all 45 year olds look 60.
few 45 year olds look 25 though (like the comic above). I mean your not fooling anyone.
Beard and eyebrows are when 25.
well with no grey, and smooth skin, yes. (did you not have eyebrows at 25?)
Maybe I just have beautiful friends, I dunno. But no Grey in beard is not strange and my cartoon friend is wearing a hat, and has cartoon skin.
I look young. I feel old but I look young. So much so the people I work with thought I was in my early 40’s when I was hired four years ago. I’m nearly 54.
I am just sad to see people portray gen X and Y as young, as if people can not be old.
Are these gens just going to work until death, always treated like the Jr.s?
I get that. We are going to be the generation blamed with everything. They are blaming the boomers now but in just a little while all of it will be our fault.
I worry it will never be our turn to be at fault, gen X is already retirement age and yet somehow still the kids.
Gen X was Trump’s biggest supporter in the last election. More than boomers even.
Obviously not true of every Gen X’er, but when Gen Z talks about boomers they’re usually inadvertently referring to Gen X.
Gen X was Trump’s biggest supporter in the last election.
We were never known for our political acumen, I’m afraid.
“Caring about things is cringe, like, gag me. Voting doesn’t do ANYTHING so I sit it out unlike you chumps, and I’m telling my kids the same thing.”
“Why aren’t any interests represented? That must be somebody’s fault. Somebody who isn’t me. Hey, did you get your tickets for Star Wars Celebration yet?”
And the current poster child for Gen X is Elon Musk.
I am disappointed but not surprised by my generation at all. Last generation where general racism and other boomer traits could really take hold thanks to boomer parents passing them on. We’re also getting old enough for some of us to embrace that “get off my lawn” mentality.
I’m so tough. I’m the toughest. Gen Z and Boomers aren’t tough enough. I’m the though one. Yeah, I might have been neglected as a child but that made me tough, definitely not emotionally stunted. Tough tough tough. I’m tough.
—Average Gen X’er to the mirror every morning
The world has been fighting Boomers for 4 decades. They’re not all villains, but certainly the majority of villains are Boomers.
Probably because the majority of people are boomers. They’re called baby boomers because their population exploded across the world.
Also let’s be frank, it’s a class divide. Boomers had a huge leg up, and then those who amassed great wealth are the ones we see in power making decisions that close doors to the younger generations.
But back to my point, of course those who have had 60+ years to amass and invest wealth are going to be richer, especially when they had something to invest at the start.
I think when we consider that Gen Z men are running to the right, we should rethink boomers as a scapegoat. It’s not the boomers. It’s the rich and the Andrew Tates of the world who are in the boxing ring.
Like I could probably take down a random boomer, but a billionaire could hire Mike Tyson and I’d be fucked in the ring.

Yeah! Hit him! Right in that soft boomer belly! [munches popcorn]
I propose a name change for them.
Their parents were “The Greatest Generation”
I think we should start referring to Boomers as “The Worst Generation.”
Hate is fun?
Typical. Slacking, unseen.
Meanwhile gen x are the most conservative generation
The comic is funny, but only in the sense that is a media presentation trying to make an age war rather than class war.
Oh was this not a meme about dipshit influencer fighting Mike Tyson?
I thought it was more about young people willing to watch garbage because 🤪🤪🤪 what if how zany 🤪🤪🤪
Gen X are not young. Not any more, to our great displeasure and horror.
Nowadays 55 is actually pretty young still in comparison to the rest of human history. If you live in europe at least you can easily go another 35 years. Of course this does not apply to the rest of the world just the rich parts of europe and east asia but yeah.
Xer’s never really got over that “everyone is dumb except for me” phase that most ditch after they actually get kissed.
Meh. Whatever man.
Eh. The Gen Xers I know all admit they’d be fucked in today’s housing market if they didn’t already have theirs. The are generally very sympathetic and appreciate how lucky they are.
To modify this comic, they sit down for a show and are quickly horrified at the brutality of the spectacle.
I’ll give them cred for not being like the boomers.
