Yeah, it's true. But I honestly think it's a problem of the society (insert joker meme) we live in and we can't pin it to a single generation.
There were anti-capitalist boomers, hell, some of the media that helped shape my anti-capitalism was made by Boomers. Captain Planet, Mother 3, both made by Boomers.
Gen X might have their horrible shitheads like Elon Musk, but they also produced a lot of anti-consumerist people too.
In my own generation (millennials) we may have our burnt-out worker masses crying out for change, and our Hasanbis, but we also have our Ben Shapiros and Charlie Kirks shilling capitalist propaganda.
Hell, even Zoomers might have Greta Thunberg, but they also have Mr Beast.
I think we see the capitalist side of generations as they get older because those are the people who get rewarded and pushed into the spotlight by capitalism.
hold up, Mr beast is a zoomer
I think he's 25, which only just makes him a zoomer... I think?
Mr Beast is a Zoomer...
I kniw, it hurt me too when I found out
Boomers should be divided into 2 generations if we're gonna do this whole pop culture generational bullshit. Cause right now boomers comprise of hippies/early rock n roll 60s stuff/ the punk/new wave thing of the the late 70s through the 80s which was done in contrary to what was considered outdated classic rock that was played by aging relics to early Gen x celebrities. One generation shouldn't contain both a counterculture and a reaction to thst counterculture getting stale at the same time.
Probably. I'm not a huge fan of generational labels to be honest
Boomer is an even stranger one cause it comprises the entire second half of the 20th century but it's also named after a specific phenomenon, people in America having a fuckload of kids after ww2. Like, my parents were born in the early 60s which was supposed to be boomer prime time, they didn't go to Woodstock cause they were 9 and 7, but they're still considered the same generation as those people.
