It sounds like you’re referring to an instance of generational tension or a moment where a “boomer” exhibited behaviors that seemed dismissive or condescending. One common example I’ve heard is when older generations dismiss younger people’s passions or careers as “hobbies” instead of legitimate work. For instance, I once mentioned my interest in pursuing a career in digital marketing, and I was met with an eye-roll and a comment about how “everyone thinks they’re an influencer now.” It felt belittling and definitely had that “little angry punk” vibe. What about you—do you have a specific story in mind?
