Twitter has become, once again, a battleground for the boomers and Gen Z’ers. The younger members of Twitter are just shooting off funny boomer tweets left and right. And to be honest, they are hilarious. On the surface, these funny tweets are just that — innocent. Thankfully, due to the lack of knowledge of modern technologies, many boomers are left reading funny tweets on Twitter and not tweeting themselves. But why are Gen Z and boomers battling each other, even on Twitter?
As with every rivalry — they all start with different understandings of humor. Boomer humor is the encapsulation of the 20th century. Old, like 100 years old. Jokes back then included “sir” and “ma’am” in almost every punch line. Now Gen Z humor is the pinnacle of the 21st century, using up a joke till it loses all meaning. Twitter is the best place for this kind of humor. Some of the funniest tweets came from the younger audience because they can make fun of themselves by accepting that they won’t reach the heights that boomers did. But they also like to remind them that the future is now [old man] and it belongs to them.
So, if you are out looking for some of the funniest tweets today that involve that boomer/Gen Z humor, we got you covered! We have collected a set of boomer tweets for you to enjoy. Upvote the tweets that threw some shade at the boomer audience. Don't agree with the idea in a tweet? Be sure to leave a comment down below.

Joke's on OP. Statistics show that the boomer generation catches the least viruses and trojans and uses the most cybersecurity products. Followed by older millenials and Gen-Z follows last. This includes things like using the same password for multiple accounts and risky behaviors like account sharing. FYI - my job is CISO - chief information security officer and I dealt with this stuff daily. And remember Gates, Jobs, Wozniak, the inventor of the www are all boomers. And fun fact: women use the internet with more caution and use better protection than men. (irl also I guess)

So true!! Many of these folks who became parents decades ago received a Lot of financial help, including free childcare. Later generations didn't enjoy those same perks, which either weren't available or came w/ endless strings attached that included an Unhealthy lack of boundaries. But i digress... Boomers received So Much help along the way. But then, as their own kids started to plan for Life after H.S., too many Boomer parents selfishly told them "You'll appreciate it more if you do it all by yourselves, w/o our help". They felt entitled to Not help or plan for the future, not even for their own kids. Not talking poor families, but solidly middle class or higher. Many parents even continue to profit, via their stock portfolios, from the same high interest rate loans their own kids won't be able to pay off till middle age. Succeeding financially today requires that someone else gets screwed over or ripped off. Quality, charity, integrity, truth... these long-cherished virtues seemingly no longer matter. Worse yet,, Christians have fallen victim to the very same Idolatry (i.e. tRumpism) they were warned so strongly to Avoid. Thanks a ton, Boomers. Up is down now, thanks to y'all. Or, most of y'all. The Modern Boomer mindset is an unspoken admission that these folks felt Entitled to the help they received, then Corrupted their own society for profit. It's their way of indirectly admitting, "I had it easy, and that turned me into a Self-centered P*ick. I don't want that to happen to you". They can't come out & say those words, but there's the true meaning. Later gens will do better b/c we're nauseated by their hypocrisy, by their cold self-interest, and determined to do a heck of a lot more for our own kids, and everyone else's, Too. Our parents' & grandparents' legacy now? Besides a dying planet? It's our understanding that other people Do matter...a lesson too many Boomers somehow missed. Empathy matters just as much as those other lost virtues. We need to get them back, to save ourselves, and have a better future for those unborn the Far Right so "cherish" (until they're born, breathing, feeling & suffering).

Carpet was the kitchen of my childhood home when we moved in... my mom tore it up, and voila, perfectly beautiful hardwood flooring! Who puts carpet in the kitchen? Weirdos!
Jake B 2 years ago
Oh, I know this one. It was a trend in the early’70’s that went bad. Bad as any trend could. People said they had never done it, but they lied. Actually the original kitchen carpet was super great and easy to clean. Warm in winter, cool in summer. Then they cheapened it and it became so nasty no one wanted it as it wouldn’t clean. Ours was the good stuff and was beautiful etc for about 20 years before replacement with wood.

LOL my dad used to say that about the Boomers back when they were hippies! He wondered why they all claimed they wanted to be individuals but dressed all alike. I'm the last year of Baby Boomers & I had to stop eating lunch with coworkers since they were all complaining about millenials, even thought I think they really meant Gen Z. Gen X had a lot to do with the capitalist attitude - they were raised on attitudes & movies like Wall Street (Greed is Good!) & movies about how to get laid or run a brothel from your house while your parents aren't at home. They kept telling us that pure capitalism & no regulations would work for everyone, but didn't mention getting rid of the government protection of a corporation. I just recently looked up the history & creation of the corporate structure. It wasn't originally for private companies.

Nope. That's a fantastic house, possibly originated as a flat pack DIY sold via Sears catalog. My house was one.

You're obviously proud of your education system. Did they teach you investing? Ironing? Cooking? Basic car repair? How about compass navigation? Map reading? Math, without a calculator? Woodworking? No? Well, you're going to need advice from someone... and your peers are in the same leaky boat. You did get taught to swim, right?
YoChicken 2 years ago (edited)
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SAYINGGGGGGGG YALL KEEP SAYING THAT WE'RE DUMB- YOU SET UP THIS FKIN EDUCATION SYSTEM. Also we get taught to swim in most public high schools, and we don't need to learn math without a calculator because we get taught how to make calculators, and we have shop- which is woodworking but with wires. We don't want advice from someone who hasn't lived through what we are. Not saying your lives weren't hard, or you learned a lot. l'm sure you did. But we aren't learning less, we're just adapting to our surroundings as the world changes, and that means learning different and new things, in different and new ways.

Avocado toast can cost ten dollars or more in some places, or roughly the cost of a streaming service per month. Some people in the older generations are under the impression that these expenses are the reason we can’t afford a place to live, and not at all the massive inflation that was also caused by them.

SO true! I went to the market the other day and the cheapest eggs were $7.99USD for a dozen... and my loaf of bread was $7.98... while a huge Haas avocado was only $1.98 and can go with 4 different meals 😅 avocado isn't the culprit.

The one I often see is that if Millennials stop paying for streaming services then "blah blah blah". Okay so saving the $50/month for my streaming will allow me to put a down payment on a house 100 years from now. OKAY BOOMER.

I don’t think it’s just the people over the age of around 65 that believe that spending less on nonessential items will allow you to save more towards a deposit. I think it’s anyone with basic mathematical abilities. The less you spend, the more you can save.

Yeah, this entire thread is very similar to BP's routine US-bashing posts. Tons of outdated stereotypes, full on insults... basically geared to get as many rage click/posts as possible.

right? i have to keep telling my mom she does not need to throw out her mayonnaise a week after she opens it...she believes the expiration dates are for only unopened product. once opened, she throws everything out after 7 days. she now brings me her food she would throw out after i got on her case about wasting food. so its not a "boomer" thing, its a "misinformed" thing

This one I'm defending. My mum hasn't realised that leaving things out in a centrally heated kitchen is very different from leaving them out in a cool larder. She also doesn't remember that her mum shopped daily or more, you can't shop once a week and leave things around. The dates are there because you didn't buy it this morning to cook tonight. You could forget how long you've had it. She claims the doctor is rubbish for being unable to diagnose her mystery intestinal issues. Have you tried telling them you regularly eat room temperature meat? I'm no believer that the date is gospel, but they mean it when they say keep refrigerated!
Old Roadie 2 years ago
Those intestinal issues may be from food additives and food colors. In America, meat can have hundreds of additives, including formaldehyde and steroids. Some folks just can't handle it.

Alright maybe I'm the idiot here (gen x btw) but so many of these just come off as clueless to me. Discussing politics is not a generational thing. It may be less common in younger people (teens in particular) but it's not a boomer trait.

I agree, although most youth I know in Australia are happy to talk about politics too, because they are excited for when they get to vote. Don't get as heated discussions as the US seems to either.

After reading 61 boomer slights that regularly complain about their politics and economy it’s Ironic that 62 would be a complaint about boomers talking about politics and the economy. But hey maybe we are onto something here. Not genZ or millennial, we should start calling them “Ironicals”. Everything they complain about is ironically exactly what they are!

I think the generation that loves to pick on "boomers" is going to get a bad wake up call when it's their turn. Every generation gets picked on for something, if not tons of stuff. Most of you are going to turn older and when you do, there is a certain limit to what your brain is going to accept. In our home we're more progressive, and we try, but there are certain things we simply can't wrap our heads around. We just try to be kind. (I'm Gen X & husband is a millenial, btw).

Remove complaints about computers and this list gets a lot shorter... For a generation that is giving up on computers in leu of using a phone which has 1/3 the functionality and 3/4 the cost, its a specific complaint that is less to do with a generation and more to do with the tech. 'OK boomer' only works when the individual is out of touch with the evolution of the world they specifically live in, not our personal perception of what they should know.
