I am angry

A place for angry people to come and be angry about things without discrimination.
Also, a place for non-angry people to come and read and comment on angry people's posts. Don't be dismissive to ragers because I am notoriously generous with the banhammer.
Note: I say Angry People, not bigoted people. Being angry at people for how they are born will get you blocked with an astounding quickness.
Lastly: NO MEMES! USE YOUR WORDS! (Some exemptions may apply)

I know what you mean. I've been called a "boomer" a number of times despite only being 42. The word has been so misused now that it effectively has no meaning anymore. It started off as a great term to point out how one specific older generation was hanging on to the past too much and fucking everything up for everyone born after them. Then it became a catch all term that basically meant "anyone who is older than I am whom I disagree with about anything". At that point it pretty much lost all impact. It became something a 12 year old calls their teenage sibling because they're hogging the Xbox... THEN people managed to somehow make it have even less meaning by just turning it into a general insult that they think instantly makes their argument seem correct.
Next time someone calls you a "boomer", ask them to define exactly what that means and how the term is appropriate in that specific context lol
