OP doesn't understand what cultural progression is. Of course different people gonna do stuff differently as time progresses, the class she was when you where in high school is just irrelevant.

This is the case where op just has skill issue, and is stuck in the past like a boomer he is.

Would you say that for someone underage? Age is age, gap is gap.

When you call someone born in the late 1990s a boomer though. It might be "hip" or "trendy" to do. But Boomers were born in the 50s man. Young kids calling adults from different generations "Boomers" just makes you sound like you didn't pay attention in history class.

Language transforms. Where before boomer would be a word for the generation born during the babyboom, nowadays it's used for old people who are unable to keep up with the times.

I mean I guess, but we have generations named for a reason. Calling everyone that's old a boomer just makes you sound like you don't know what you're talking about IMO. To each their own I suppose.

Born in the 1900s? What'd you do before they invented fire? Ride dinos?
