I find the "[young-ish] boomer" meme interesting. I noticed it being spammed perhaps a month ago and found it funny then without really working out why. The hostile reactions were also pretty hilarious. I wonder if it's a result of 4chan's "oldfag" population approaching their 30s and feeling self-conscious that politically they have become right-wing and pro-tradition (Trump, etc) and that many are now involved in careers and so on, and thus can't shit on their parents' generation as much as they did when they first found the site. I imagine it also has something to do with the new wave of 4chan users being in their mid-teens and not really "getting" the notion of a boomer, and therefore just shitting on anyone over 25 because anyone over that age seems boring and boomer-ish. It's quite the meme I must say.

OP here. I find it to be the perfect balance of self-deprecating and ridiculous. From what I have seen it is usually used to denote behaviors or tastes that are ignored in public out of politeness but laughed at behind closed doors. To me, it is a wholesome return to reality for people who live their lives in a box. After all, nobody wants to be that Boomer who is always out of touch or that Boomer who is grappling with lesser ideas or media. However, the Boomer is almost always the more well-established man in these memes. He is just out of touch. I love it.

As far as I've seen 4chan memes come about after being spammed on one board and gradually branch out. This was a case of one guy or a group doing sweeps across the site in intervals.
And I'm not saying this isn't a legit meme now but I think it was definitely forced at the start.

[Anonymous No.11409070]

>>11408958
Interesting. I didn't notice the spamming. I wonder if some day we will have a group of professional meme makers. Maybe not really a group that works together, a bunch of people that produces and forces a large quantity of memes.
It kinda happens in slow boards like /jp/, /n/ and /qa/. You can recognize that many memes were produced (and are probably forced) by a single person. Sometimes you can sense that someone is trying to unnaturaly change the boards culture.

Maybe that's what have always happened. It's not all that different in real life. Think about literature. Authors don't magically become popular, people need to force it, editors, critics, etc, sometimes very devoted fans. It's not a big group of people that decides what should becomes popular and work on it

the boomer meme in this form refers to basically a late 20s early 30s guy

[Anonymous No.11410268]

What I think is interesting is the fact that what constitutes being a boomer is basically becoming part of society, having a job, finishing your studies, whatever.
It's like the aging process of people simply hits you in the head as soon as responsabilities come and you can't be sustained by your parents. It's not like it has any arbitrary line like age that says you are a wojack boomer from now on, it simply has to do with the moment when you can't play videogames 12 hours a day, you don't know what is hip in the radio or spotify because you spend 8 hours in a job and you don't have time for it, you can't go out drinking mid week because the hangover is too much nowadays, you have to start taking energy suplements, you go to happy hours with co-workers, 4chan isn't your main site, etc...

For our parents it was probably as soon as they got married or when they had their first kid. Maybe our grandparents moment was then they got their first job at 16 or when they got kicked out of house because they were slacking, having a bf/gf, etc...

I think this meme is super interesting and probably the best one after the debacle that was /pol/'s forcing of Trump and meme magic durng 2016/17.

I think we're all wrong

The "30-year old boomer" meme is tapping into something that is hard to even articulate.

It's implying that:
>around the age of 30 you start losing your edge
>you start losing your hair
>you may start becoming equally as lame as a 60 year old boomer
>many young people have tastes that are as poor as boomers
>many young people have not broken out of the naive retardation of boomerism, even at a young age
>as you get older, you start enjoying the lame shit your boomer parents enjoy, like washing your gay ass car that you're so proud of

It has nothing to do with Trump or any of that, especially considering Millennials are more like their 1960's liberal parents in general.

It's also laughing at the low-brow tastes of the middle class as well

Well i think when people start moving up in society, they shed a lot of their sincerely edgy beliefs.

People get a decent job, acquire a few assets, get a new-earned respect from people in your daily life, and they think "Ehhh well okay even though I don't like it, I can live with this. It's not THAT bad" and then kinda just stop giving a shit

That's why the boomer meme shows a naive apathetic smirk. The 30-year old boomer has embraced the shallow shitty parts of consumer culture and just kind of accepted it. He no longer cares, he's found a nugget of satisfaction and he's checked out now.

The Boomer is an individual who does not want to leave the apolitical riskless private sphere. He rests in the possession of his private property, and under the justification of his possessive individualism he acts as an individual against the totality. He is a man who finds his compensation for his political nullity in the fruits of freedom and enrichment and above all in the total security of its use. Consequently he wants to be spared bravery and exempted from the danger of a violent death.

It's okay to become less edgy as you age, the important thing is to be fashionable, or cool, for your age. Be original. A 40 year old can still be cool, but they have to know what works. The most baseline recommendation is to stay in shape and be fashionable - this extends to tastes in things like food and drink, style of house and furnishings, books, media, hobbies, etc. You can have your nice house, but it doesn't have to be a shitty McMansion with no charm or interesting decor.

The truth that I've discerned from these comments is that the boomer meme doesn't really mean anything. It's just another stupid way for retards on 4chan to insult each other. If nobody can agree on what it means, other than that it's bad if you are one, is that it doesn't mean anything besides a vague notion of poor taste.

As long as I make enough money to be independent from my parents but not enough to be complacent, I derive a lot of energy from my dissatisfaction at the way things are, and hope to change them for the better.

I'm still in my 20s so my time may be yet to come, but I've met people who live dynamic lives well into their middle age without being that crusty old guy that hangs out at the college bar.

So many people here have the boomer thing backward. You're actually thinking in a way that led to boomerism. The problem isn't that they are out of touch, it's that they're so narcissistic they won't admit that they are out of touch and retire from dictating public life. They should have accepted that it was time to allow a new generation to come to cultural power and gracefully retired to watch Lawrence Welk like their parents did. Instead they need to still engage in a pissing contest with their kids to prove they "still got it"

it's a mediocre meme, made up of several shit memes put together. It's main purpose is simply to piss off the people who were fucked over financially by boomers (thus the large audience for (you's)) If anything more is to be said, boomers will not relinquish their swords, most of them are turning 70 odd and have still not retired, to the disgust of many others who want their positions.

it's to make fun of anyone who isn't like 17 because after that age it gets harder to convince yourself you are going to be something if you arent already succeeding. It's a pretty versatile meme honestly

the origin of the boomer thing is clueless boomers having retarded opinions about stuff, this was just expanded from opinions to behaviors and attributes, and from actual boomers to anyone older than the poster.

my understanding of the boomer meme
its one part a very simple making fun of someone for being close to 30, that being something that many people on 4chan are now approaching and are insecure about, on the same level as prompting insecurities in manlets and wristlets etc. depicting a 28 year old as balding, obese, dumb, drooling and so on, this is why the boomer is 30 years old. the other part is the general disdain and ressentiment of the baby boomer generation, they are usually either inconsistently progressive or neoconservative, having lived in time of great comfort and economic ease they created the degenerate and cancerous deconstructionist relativist "free love" culture of the 60s that both the young left and right seem to frown upon. and had enough hubris to think that they could maintain certain traditional values whilst also exalting the mindless destruction of them as rebellious and cool, but at the same time failing to really achieve the dedicated edginess of the younger generations. they are disliked for their naivety, for their unironic use of terms like "just be yourself" and "be positive" despite the fact that being positive is surely at best appropriate 50% of the time. disliked for their belief that an easy life is a better one, for their genuine belief that uncomfortable information is less likely to be factually true, for their faith in popular culture and capitalist consumerism, for their hand in creating the superficial decadence of the culture we know live in, for their claimed commitment to open mindedness, tolerance, and equality despite being ruthlessly adherent to fashionable thought and failing to ever really think through the implications of those ideals, as if they were designed for an irrational utopian idealism rather than as an actual ethical theory meant for reality, and also disliked for their anti-historical rebellion against what they perceived as an oppressive discriminatory mindset of their own parents. the meme manifested because of the animosity the millenial(?)s have for their parent generation who they in part blame for the mess that is western culture right now, the left blaming them for the worse parts of the right and the right for the worse parts of the left.

I thought it's supposed to prey on an aging 4chan demographic who hasn't "made it" yet. Calling 30 year-olds boomers is supposed to precipitate your insecurities by implying that your life is already past its peak, that you're aging, that you're out of touch with society, and have nothing to look forward to but a slow decline.

dude u gotta admit it will be easy for trump to maga as the boomers all start to retire opening up tons of new jobs for the youth, but the boomers will keep spending their retirement money thus putting more cash into circulation, and boomers that refuse to retire will eventually just die, sorry but the boomers definitely pulled a lot of resources from future generations, which wouldnt be so bad if they werent so whiny yet simultaneously smug about making 60k with a high school diploma etc. although some boomer lies have been exposed like growing up i heard a lot of boomer assholes trying to blame gen-x and millenials like "i would have gone to college but i couldnt afford it! not with u kids!" etc. but its like dude a semester of college back in the boomers day was like two weeks of minimum wage work, now its like 10 years of min wage work per semester or something, boomers who didnt go to college and blamed it on "too expensive" were just fucking liars, fuck boomers

[Anonymous No.11415309]

The 30-year-old boomer is an older millennial who has adopted a boomer-esque lifestyle and ideals. He is funny to us because we see our colleagues or even ourselves in him and his aloof adherence to the social mores of his parents' generation. He has one or more steady (menial) jobs, he has a mortgage, to motivate him in his tasks he imbibes disgusting stimulants like Monster, he's proud of his 52-inch television and says so, he mows his pointless suburban lawn on weekends when I should be enjoying some peace and quiet, he spends lots of his (hard-earned, don't forget) money on a car and other things that were socially valuable to his parents. He is a consumer whore and will perpetuate the system the boomers perfected, as was his destiny; delayed by the 2008 financial crisis until now, an extra decade after he was supposed to become an adult in the boomers' world and carry forward the torch of consumption. This delay is what makes him special, and what makes the meme. The saturation of the term "millennial" in media over the past decade alone makes this meme hilarious, but especially so when you consider the associations we've been taught to make between millennials and a kind of medley of boomer moral panic (the fact that I want to say something about video killing the radio star in reference to the "industry-killing millennial" trope is itself proof of the staying power of boomer pop-cultural drivel, perhaps I am also a 30-year-old boomer). Despite much noise being made about increased disillusionment with society and millennials being this or that way different from their elders, our generation will now get on board with the boomer program. You may very well be a NEET, but if you look up from your monitor I guarantee you will see that your contemporaries are becoming living embodiments of the 30-year-old boomer. The end of history is back on schedule after only a brief delay, a hiccup in the global financial system that caused a momentary retardation of millennial adulthood. The dichotomy of boomers and millennials and their respective value systems are etched onto our collective consciousness after a decade of media kvetching, hence the millennial who finally grew up is now a 30-year-old boomer.

I like this post the best, but I think at a more basic level the 30 year old boomer is more like "that [midwestern] guy who has all of his equity tied up in his home." it's a caricature of a commonly-encountered sort of person, and that;s why its funny.

It’s a self-deprecating joke for millennials. We’ve grown up and matured a bit. We’re no longer the youngest generation. We see ourselves becoming adults like our parents. We criticize the younger generation like boomers did to us.

Yeah Pepe and Wojak, at this point, have a dialectic that's nearly worthy of study. There are so many little angles and sideplots. Pepe of course shot to global fame thanks to Trump, but it seems to have cost him all his depth. Meanwhile, Wojak has settled into middle-class comfort and seems to have overcome his earlier feelings of inadequacy, although he has not perhaps risen beyond it.

almost all of them sold out though. There's a whole genre of music and lit revolving around the death of the hippy movement and how it ended up just being a phase that got lost to consumerism and being a cog. All but the dirtiest hippies ended up getting a job or marrying someone who did, and became moderate neoliberals. Thankfully it will be a bit harder for this generation to sell out since there isn't anyone willing to buy for much of anything.

I disagree with the majority of the shit they talked about but for fucks sake if you're going to stand up for something don't back down in five years or you may as well just kill yourself for being spineless.

To clarify, it isn't about right or wrong, true or false, it boils down to the subjectivity, what's good for you? You want struggle, pain, hardship, confrontation, obstacle, devastation, ruination, martyrdom, you shall have it, be fed to the teeth on it, it will be all you know, all you experience, your every waking hour consumed by the fire of your desire (you like that?) You want peace, contentment, enjoyment, relaxation, tranquility, languid reminiscing and dreamy sun-drenched days sipping lemonade under the cherry blossoms, likewise it shall be yours no matter what invader floats onto your shores (again!)
