Before and after the work-hard-play-harder Generation X came two sets of people who seem to be at constant war with each other. Baby Boomers and Millenials have their differences and are prepared to defend their colliding points of view by all means. At times, this Millennials vs. Boomers conflict gets really emotional, and it seems that both are prepared to take it to the streets.
Baby Boomers are typically considered to be born between the mid-1940s and mid-1960s. They were the result of the end of World War II when birth rates spiked. The Boomers became healthier and wealthier than any generation before them. They are thought to be work-centric, extremely hardworking and motivated by position, perks, and prestige. Mentally focused and competitive, the generation grew up in turbulent times (consider the Cold War and the Cuban Missile Crisis or the assassinations of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr.). Because of that, Boomers began to fight for social, economic and political changes. Idealistic and uncynical, this generation was able to buy a house and a car, to chill on a beach, instead of fighting a war.
However, since the Baby Boomers sacrificed a great deal to get where they are, this generation believes that others - mainly, the Millennials - should pay more dues. Millennial generation (also known as Generation Y) are people born between roughly 1980 and 2000. They are thought to possess a great deal of confidence and tolerance, but also entitlement and narcissism. Refusing to comply, they blame the Baby Boomers for wrecking the economy and having zero understanding of the Millennial definition of work-life balance, necessary in the workplace. To shed some light on the conflict, Bored Panda has decided to collect some of the most memorable comebacks the Millennials threw back ant the Baby Boomers. Some are lighthearted and funny, while others try to reason and inform. Scroll down to check our list of Millennial jokes and their clapbacks in this Baby Boomers vs. Millennials war.

Out of 52 weeks a year at $1.45 an hour and a 5 day work week, not a 7 day work week, that would be 6.76 hours per day. But at $7.25 an hour to pay off $45,800 you would have to work 17.3 hours a day 7 days a week or 24 hours a day 5 days a week plus 2 hours on a 6th day. The equivalent hourly wage would be $26.06 an hour.

I think people need to watch reruns of All in the Family and see the fights Baby Boomer Mike "Meathead" got into with "Greatest Generation" Archie. Baby Boomers blamed the Greatest Generation for WW2 and global genocide, the Crash and the Depression, atomic escalation, runaway inflation, homophobia, you name it. Everything millennials yell about now the Boomers yelled about then. La plus la change, le plus les meme choses.

1. Hell no. We can totally survive without telephones and the internet, it's just that we aren't in some kind of survival situation where we aren't allowed to take advantage of or enjoy the things we have. 2. Maybe YOU are good at working a computer, but I have met a LOT of elderly people who didn't have to work with computers who have a lot of trouble with even simple things on the internet. Yes, the joke is founded on a generalization, but you can't just refute it back with a new generalization of: "BUT I'M NOT, SO EVERYONE ELSE IN MY AGE GROUP CAN'T BE!"

But my generation doesn't seem to understand good, non-racist jokes either.
Master Markus 7 years ago
I don't know if I count as a Millenial, but I'm roughly around that age: There are a lot of people who can take jokes that are race-based, or based around something "controversial", but they need to be good JOKES first. For example, if you watch many comedy movies from the early 2000s, you'll notice that "That guy is gay" is treated like a joke ON IT'S OWN. I can take jokes about being gay or something, but 1. It has to be a joke and 2. It can't just be an insult disguised as a joke. Don't say "You just need to take a joke" and expect a positive response if what you said is basically just a thinly-veiled insult.

I don't think Millenials should get the grief that's been thrown their way...but there are plenty of Baby Boomers who don't have a home that is paid off. Wages have remained stagnant for most workers for the past 40 years.

they were smart and they earned it. The 1% doesn't "steal" your money.Nor do they keep you from doing what they did. And they pay about 37% in taxes. Granted, a lot of them started out with huge cash flow to start with, but thats cause they inherited from people who Also worked hard and invested well. There's plenty of millennials out there that have made astounding amounts of money...Amazon, Facebook, Apple, Google, You Tube..how come no one yells at them for being stinking rich?

Where I live in Oregon, it's the Baby Boomers who are out PLAYING Pokémon Go, including me and my husband. Our 18-yo son rolls his eyes at us. He and his friends think no one plays Pokémon Go anymore so I had to take a picture of the 80+ people at a raid a few weeks ago. Plenty of people are still playing but because it's not the kids themselves, they think NO one is playing.

What's really ironic is that the Baby Boomers were raised by what they call The Greatest Generation. So you would think that they would be raised well. Here is the thing. The Greatest Generation lived through a lot. The Depression, WWII, etc. So when they had kids, they didn't want them to suffer in the way that they themselves did. So therefore, they babied them. They made sure they had good lives. Which is fine and all. But it made them grow up to be spoiled brats that ruined the economy.

Whoo! Being Gen X rocks! Never get blamed! (Unless this millennial just has old parents)
Shari H 7 years ago
Y'all know there are 2 generations between baby boomers and millennials right? I mean my age group is Gen X, then there is the forgotten Gen Y. My parents are baby boomers, if I had children they would be millennials. My siblings (except the 2 youngest) are Gen Y. I agree with one thing though, whoever raised this generation of whiny, entitled little pricks who cannot go one day without crying that they have to earn what they want truly are the worst parents ever.
Just JoLynn 7 years ago
Generation Y was a popular term given to millennials before there was an actual name for the generation, so there's only one generation in between Baby Boomers and Millennials. Since the millennial generation encompasses people from the early 80's to today there is a wide range, some having baby boomer parents and some having generation x parents.

My brother and one cousin were born in 1980, on the cusp of gen x and millenial. I was born in 1989, so'idly a millenial.

I think the baby boomers are all braindamaged because their mothers were anesthetized during labor. They were all heavily drugged at birth. And the Moms had a hard time recovering from it. Very unnatural experience. And around those times, a lot of parents were influenced by some guy who basically said your job was to feed and cloth your kids, not be any more involved than that or show them affection (or teach them anything). It completely messed up my two oldest sisters (now around 65 and 67).

I see this as something good. We are slowly eliminating the problems in society, starting from the most pressing. Now that they got equal rights for men and women, we can focus on something else, like gay rights. Yes, the discrimination of the LGBTQ community is a lesser problem than the descrimination of women was. But thats Good! That's progress! Why should we stop trying to help and fix, just because the problems aren't as big any more?

Tipping began way back in the 1600s England in bars to encourage the bar maids to bring drinks quickly. Nothing more, nothing less. It grew from there. Many countries see it as an insult to the host (owner), like they can't afford to pay their staff enough. I tip all service people because the practice of tipping isn't going anywhere anytime soon and wages are cut to below a living wage BECAUSE tipping is so expected. My shorting someone to make a stand on the issue does nothing but hurt the service person at this point in time. I see tipping as a way to reward anyone who assists me in any capacity if their customer service is above and beyond, so merely expected service gets a smaller amount than someone who really went out of their way to make my experience outstanding. And I've tipped many MANY types of service people, not just restaurant staff.

Yes, see above regarding the ME generation. That was a thing when the boomers were younger, and they HATED it. Now too many of them are just hypocrites.

For the "Muricans" that "don't like to tip" the servers didn't decide they all wanted to be paid that way, it's been that way for years.

I always tip more than that, especially for a haircut. So the cut costs $12, figure the stylist can do 3 per hour (if they are always busy), bringing an income of $36/hr. That sounds pretty good until you realize that they have to rent the chair, pay for their own equipment and supplies, they have to spend more time & money on their own appearance (because who wants a haircut from someone who isn't put-together enough to do their own hair nicely). In my area, a stylist actually gets a check for around $9/hr BEFORE TAXES. I know my stylist just had a baby because she kept getting more and more pregnant until she suddenly got less pregnant, and that is sure as hell not cheap. I round to $20.

I am a Millennial and this is incomprehensible. Wish people, of any generation, would use proper punctuation and spellcheck.

Maybe millennials should avoid making the same boomer mistakes and stop being so god f*****g damn misogynistic?

Allegedly, after Marilyn Monroe was done singing her codine-fueled "Happy Birthday" to President Kennedy, she proceeded to suck his d**k. Does that clear things up?

Okay, BusLady, your generation is the single richest one in the history of Humanity. Not only in cash, but assets. You had the ability to buy a home on minimum wage, afford a college education, buy a car and hundreds of other luxuries that the huge majority of my generation can only dream of. I've ridden 83 miles in a day on my bike, not because I wanted to, but because I simply can't afford a car, and there was no sale on train tickets.

And may I add, that's a bicycle. Not a motorbike. Also something I can't afford.

That's not what this is saying... your generation collected more in federal benefits than any other generation while simultaneously cutting your own tax rate (so essentially getting more for less... you know, handout).

I have that, but I was lucky to get subsidized housing. Any baby boomer who calls my disability a handout doesn't see how hard it is for me to even do physical house work, or how many medications I take for depression and pain. And I'm still trying to make some sort of career or job freelance writing and blogging anyways because I'm 35 years old and have absolutely no savings and a ton of debt, with all this interest. Because credit and student loans were SUCH a smart idea baby boomers, SUCH a smart idea. Meanwhile, in socialized "commie" Europe in many places its cheap or free to get a post-secondary education.

I can't believe the number of old rednecks I see on the road in their giant trucks who have their phone up to their faces and not looking at the road. What the heck happened to old rednecks hating cell phones! Am I in the upside down?

Literally put signed in via Facebook to downvote all of BusLady's clueless comments. These DO make sense and this IS out daily lives when meanwhile you don't get why it is harder for our generation and at the same time don't realize that 30s means 30 seconds. Wow.

Same. On one side I really hope she is just trolling with her comments but I doubt it.

Boomers are quick to brag about their 'easy' achievements. I take offence because at age 30 I work 10 hours a day and am still driving the same car I had in high school.

yeah, I dunno... It seems that a lot of people find it easier to blame the generation before, or before that. There's gotta be a point when we stop placing the blame and start making a change?

That's what I was thinking. There's so much blame and no trying to work together to resolve the issues. So much resentment and arguing.

Wow... What a messy comments section... I feel like I should say that the millennials weren’t talking about ALL baby boomers, they’re referring to all the baby boomers who have been criticizing millinials almost all their lives. There shouldn’t be a war between generations, but it can’t be expected for millennials to sit still and quiet while they’re told they’re incompetent.

meh. I bet in several decades the Millenials will do the same for the next generation, whatever they will be called.

One thing I find interesting is that research into the human brain has found that the structure and the way the brain thinks changes as you age. So it's almost hardwired for us to be more idealistic and black-or-white in our thinking when we are younger, and more flexible in our thinking, able to see multiple points to a situation, and more conservative as we age. Theories also propose that the accumulation of experience changes the thinking because it requires the brain to broaden it's thinking abilities, which changes the structures in the brain, too.

I saw the humour, frustration and sadness in many of these and laughed at a lot of it! Perhaps because I am GenX and in the middle generation? I have experienced many of the struggles of the Millenials (overpriced housing, student loans etc) but also remember a time before the Internet when duck-faced selfiies were not an art form. Patience and understanding has to be practiced on both ends of the spectrum. The Boomers seem to struggle with their reliance and addiction to a technology that their own generation created. Remember Millenials - take it with a grain of salt, for some of it is self-loathing projected outwards. The more things change, the more they stay the same!
