Gotta love when the Internet calls 80's kids boomers 😅 and no it was never a utopia but it was our fucked up times, and no one else's.

My take on boomerifying is getting other generations to behave like the stereotypical boomer, not that they are actual boomers by birthday.

I agree with you, but it is a lot like Boomers calling everyone younger a Millenial.
