I'm old enough to be just barely a boomer and I have to admit that I've long suspected that if all the kids, en masse, ever figure out just how much was given away or squandered to facilitate lifestyles that besides not being sustainable were in many important ways inauthentic, that there would be some sort of major generational strife. Maybe not as violent and wrenching as the Cultural Revolution or the Killing Fields but something deservedly unpleasant and disruptive.

"OK Boomer" is basically the tiniest slight that's producible in the English language and it's being passed around on images and gifs as jokes. That's it. Nevertheless, it's provoked a stream of pathetic outrage and whiny articles coming from the status quo.
