Yeah but instead of joking about suicide like a normal person, boomers write confusingly veiled songs about it and pretend they're family friendly.

Looking at you, David Bowie! Space Oddity isn't for children!

You know the sayings: "We're standing on the shoulders of giants" and "he walked so we could run" etc.

I feel like Boomers' jokes about hating their spouse is thinly veiled suicidality jokes. Like, they're giving big "I did everything I was meant to and I hate my life" energy

I guess so, but blaming your sadness on someone you promised to love is a dick move if they never did anything wrong, and most wives never did anything wrong
