>>106793424I always feel that in some way, Boomers are jealous of the new generation, more so than they are angry.
I mean, if I went back in time to 1960 or 1970 with just an ipod or an xbox, I think people would be beating each other up to get one. The boomer generation felt that they were the ones to get the cool future tech, that it would be the Jetsons and they would have everything they need and want. Of course, by the time they had kids, their kids were the first to get the new technology of the future they so wanted. And now, deprived of their chance to have the future they feel like they deserved, Boomers take it out on Pokemon, phones, video games, anything they can't understand and thus demonize.
They were promised the future, but no one ever told them they weren't getting the manual for it.
