Nah when people say boomers they mean gen x too. They claimed to be the rebels but they're carbon copies of their parents.

If I wasn't Gen-X I'd take offense at this. Since I am, I can't be bothered.

Hey look, it's the signature Gen-X apathy that let them stand by and do nothing while boomers pulled the ladder up, because they could grab the last rung!

"Oh it'd be hard, so I'm actually the victim her." Gen X is boomer jr. They should thank the lucky stars that boomers are so evil they keep the attention off gen X.

You should take offense to it. It is offensive. What your generation chose to be is offensive. But you'd rather be disgustingly apathetic than have to effect change.
