Are These BOOMER Memes True?

Are these old people memes funny? Is there any truth to them or are they just outdated? Yeah, these are going viral right now on facebook amongst the boomers and these memes are against the zoomers gen z Versus the old people let's talk about whether we think these are true whether they're false give our rating on them Make sure you like subscribe and turn on your notifications andrew I guarantee if you're watching this video right now You have probably never seen these memes before I came across a trove of them Obviously I found the ones that I could actually put on here and let's go into number one Someone was like man these gen z kids. This is what they call actual coffee Yeah, look at this pumpkin spice chai mocha Macamogalito man disgusting so many calories useless superfluous Soft just like this soft gen z generation is compared to our generation That was just drinking straight black coffee or espresso with water. I'm so sick of it. I like my Sea salt caramel sweet cream on top of my oat milk latte I with the dirty matcha shot. I like it. I do like them, but I also like my black coffee Yeah, I will say this. I like multi-layered superfluous drinks, but I would say this meme it does make a point, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it seems like every year starbucks or every boba shop The next drink they have is gonna have like seven more layers on it gosh Darn it. These drinks are just getting less and less productive Uh, I give this a meme I I rate it high like a four out of five. It's pretty funny, dude I might have to give this one a five out of five because it just made a solid point Although I I guess to go against this meme. I like this crazy drinks, but it also can't apply to asian boba drinks, too But honestly, we'll get to it later and I think they're actually trying to say a lot larger message about the younger generation in general Of course moving on and meme number two from the boomers We've got this one that's like I don't have enough money to buy my student loans to pay my student loans or buy a house This kid's got like a karl marx bucket hat on he's got the plugs. He got the cow septum piercing Obviously they drew him in sort of a non-complimentary way and this guy's buying door dash booze weed body art Streaming only fans funko pops all types of crazy useless things, but he's complaining about prices and inflation or whatever Yeah, you see that's why Because you guys are spending all your money All the wrong ways I know this meme was made by a boomer or a gen x because they called alcohol booze If you're still calling it booze, honestly It might have been made by like a 45 55 year old guy that was looking at the consumption pattern of either his kids or his Nephews and nieces no legit. Um, I think that the consumption patterns are correct I think people are consuming more and more than they ever have. I also think there's more things to consume I think there's more subscriptions that you can be a part of but here's my one advice guys Just make it worth it. Just utilize it. Do not waste money on these things if you're actually using it And you're getting utility out of it Yeah, I don't know if you're buying assets That's why I would prefer something that I know has like hard asset value that fluctuates that is more like stocks Obviously sneakers and or we know rare sneakers fluctuate more like stocks Somebody tell me if funko pops is like that because i'm not big on those I'm gonna go ahead and give this one. Honestly a four out of five. It was pretty it was pretty solid There's some accuracy to it. Um moving on. Uh, this one's like jobs in the past blacksmith porter carpenter royal guard now You're just like a youtuber streamer Psychopath suicide bomber you can't even describe your job in three words nowadays I'm a saas based fintech sales analyst what happened at real jobs like I catch fish All right. So the first meme did make me laugh. I got on the laughing scale I gotta give it like I thought it was pretty funny five out of five because it included youtuber and we're youtubers However, this whole like discussion and argument about oh man, what about the jobs? Why can't all the jobs just be blue-collar jobs? I'm, like wait, so you want us to like delete all the technology we ever made like jobs before being a Like before the previous generation they were even more blue-collar than before Yeah, what you want to be a coal miner? Should we all be coal miners because that's real work like you know what i'm saying? I get it that yes If you're trying to make a point that the next generation is a bunch of sissies or we're soft bodies and we like our sweet Macchiato's what I get that joke But i'm just saying like we're not going back in time back in my day people used to fall off a building building buildings Nowadays, they're just getting the arthritis and dry eyes from looking at the screens all day the wake And I think that that is an overarched perspective obviously that the boomers have about the zoomers moving on to boomer technology Andrew someone's like I would like to put a teenager in this room and tell him at a half past find the game on Am and turn on channel 27 call me when you're done Then i'll just watch and laugh because they would not be able to figure out this tv You know, look at this the glory days 1963 technology um You know and there was one about uh driving stick and writing cursive it would cripple an entire generation I used to eat mud when I was three not on all these ipad. I fad i'm mad Um, what do you think? No, I think this is just a response to somebody being like grandpa You don't know how to use your iphone and then the grandpa was like What do you how do we slide it? Oh, where'd my window go, you know Where everybody's just like man go back to those knobs and dials and wires and stuff. I'm like again technology We're not going backwards. I know mentally I think we can criticize each other If the mental did not change as fast as the technology did I get that but all this stuff Ultimately, I give it a one out of five But do you think andrew with the ipads and stuff like that people have gotten smarter or people have not? I think technology has moved way faster Than our brains have developed. I know a lot of people say that nowadays. I do agree I don't think and I don't know If the average person is way smarter or better at discerning what is fake and misinformation. I got a hot take I think the mid people stayed mid The dumb people got dumber and the smart people got smarter. Yeah, maybe it's more stratified Uh moving on to the next boomer meme section. We've got uh ones about wi-fi Of course, these are these are great the withy as they like to call it in france Um andrew we're talking about dear parents If you want to find out where your son daughter is in the house simply just turn off the wi-fi And just watch them start going mom Mom reset the router I definitely and this other meme about we do not have wi-fi just talk to each other like it was 1995 I think it's true. I think that we do need to make a concerted effort to interact with each other in person more I think the conversations are better We always said that a lot of the hard conversations we have on this channel need to happen amongst friends In person the comment section will not solve it. So do not base your life and your emotions on the comment section Please you can laugh at comments They're funny or interesting, but do not base your life and it's very difficult to communicate tone over comments as well Um, yeah, what about what do you think about this one? There's like if you can afford a sixty thousand dollar electric car Then you can afford to pay your student loan payments And uh, obviously most of these memes are made by somebody that's over 50 But I actually think millennials might agree with this as well because millennials people that were like 30 and up They for sure had to pay all their loans and now they're looking at people potential loan forgiveness for people under 25 and they're like Dude, what so you guys can just go to college and not have to pay for it. What the heck? Yeah. Well, I guess uh This generation lucked out. Yeah, you know, I would say andrew it kind of goes back to the door dash example The the ability for somebody to like lease a sixty thousand dollar car and have student loans I don't think that ability existed 10 20 30 years ago And nowadays because of the credit system and maybe looser regulations here and there so who's to blame andrew the opportunities are there But by the way, like you said, I think it's an extreme example. What do you think about the greta thunberg memes? Oh, man Um, yeah, obviously this is just making a judgment on like, dr. Judith curry. She's actually a climatologist She did all this work, but she never gets her voice She never gets interviewed What's wrong with judith curry, man? She's just saying the earth moving how it's moving mother nature's gonna do what it does now We got greta thunberg telling me I can't even use my gas stove because it's killing all the birds in madagascar I hate greta thunberg. Well, they're also talking about like the left side media bias and all of this. Um, no, I mean first of all whether or not the Earth is heating up because of this and that I mean we just probably need to To litter less I mean, I think that's pretty common sense, you know, we could do a little bit better on that aspect But yeah, it's a media bias because greta thunberg. I mean really what qualifications does she have other than being like this charismatic young? We must stop climate change. Yeah, to be honest. I mean the truth is like sometimes in the middle, right? I think there's a lot of things that contribute to it the natural cycles But as well as man-made cycles and it just depends on extent I just don't like how polarized it is But you know, that's how the meme life is and everything that's boomer versus zoomer moving on and this meme was actually made by a millennial I believe somebody who's like in their 30s. They were like, yo this generation of kids will never know this pain We really was outside 24 7 No, it's true man. Do you think it's true and or the kids just you know protected by the rubber mats and the polyurethane nowadays They're not out there scraping up their legs developing all types of you know Tolerances in their bloodstreams to be strong getting the white blood cells. I think there's definitely less skid knees I remember walking home We had all these scars on the body scars on the hands and the wrist from playing basketball and dunking on the short rims um No, I definitely think kids are getting out there less But I do think kids are staying active in a way a lot more too, but like more in controlled Environments like maybe like gyms more or they're like doing certain. I don't know organized activities more versus just roaming the streets But what do you think that nowadays they're just living this macchiato lifestyle with 12 layers It's so soft and fancy and fluffy making them wake Yeah but I also think like the way we grew up and like Riding on the back of the bike pace about the sandlot the hoop dreams like down a hill Where you could have potentially got hit by cars. I think that kind of stuff is just like the world is just getting different so like the people the kids who are getting raised now are Are being raised in and trained for a new world that maybe we don't even fully understand, you know Right moving on and or this one was like, uh, we need to let children be whatever they want to be Well, what if they want to be conservative? Um, yeah, this is certainly a perspective From the older generation, right? I mean i'm gonna give it a 2.5 out of 5 just because Like it pointed out something that was like interesting by the way not saying I agree with this Thought it was a simple meme. I give it a 4 out of 5. I thought it was funny. I thought it made its point Very quickly, right? Um, this says a chinese kid on christmas getting the same toy. He made five hours ago, dude That's funny man that asian kid's face man who made this meme were they asian or not? Yeah, I need to know but yeah, actually it was uh, you know, I can have a sense of humor about myself guys It was funny ultimately if it makes you chuckle. It's funny. Okay Um moving on to someone saying mom what's a conspiracy theorist somebody who figures out the truth before most people dear and obviously this Drawings from I want to say like maybe 1942 or something like that. Yeah 50s for sure 60s. I would say man Honestly, not all conspiracy theories are true man Like there's some truth and maybe some of them because there's more than what meets the eyes There's more than what we're told for sure but ultimately guys a lot of these conspiracy theories don't even like Concern you a lot of the biggest conspiracy theories in my opinion are just like things that people have just been conditioned to accept I mean, you know, what's funny is that a lot of people who go against organized religion? They're like big conspiracy theorists, but then conspiracy theories become their religion So i'm like, I don't know you just start believing in some stuff That's like you in in another sense doesn't have a lot of evidence either. You know what I mean? So it's just like Everybody's just trying to find something that consumes their brain. Uh moving on somebody was like, uh, Outlock a burger is vegan. Okay is monopoly money. Okay This was clearly made by somebody who was like 62 years old from you know from an old school zone I mean obviously they're calling the beyond beef and the impossible burger like fake meat in the same way monopoly money guys Have you had some good vegan burgers? They're pretty good. Shout out to plant burger. They're pretty good now I mean i'm gonna go ahead and give this one A two out of five even though it kind of made me laugh like almost in a reverse way Somebody said andrew spend some time with your elders. Not everything's found on google Okay, man. Look you only got one book in your brain. Look at this old guy with his cane He got 15 books in his brain No, I will agree that talking to smart and successful elderly people is always interesting and you'll always get a new perspective You will learn some things now. I do think not all old people should give you advice on everything But maybe the things that they are more experienced than you at yeah Let's say an unsuccessful old person ask them about the weather ask them about sports Somebody who was actually successful and did a bunch of things in their life Maybe ask them about deeper more complicated things, you know, and definitely do not ask all old people about race relations Well, you're yeah. Yeah, you already know uh moving on rich dad poor dad meme andrew Um, yeah, I would say that this one's actually more of like almost like a millennial Maybe 40 year old gen x meme about like just owning your own business I would say actually the gen z version of this is a whole nother little crypto kid with like, you know Dressing crazy wearing street wear. Um, and what do you think about this? Mom's now versus mom's then one versus like say that again And i'll wash out your soap your mouth with soap billy versus like that billy. Can you just not say that word? It's inappropriate more appeasement from the modern mom and more old school tough love from the old school mom Is it true is it false what is it? Hold on this bottom one is pretty funny I pack your bento box with almond butter on whole grain kale chips and organic smoothie Take a brown bag with a bologna sandwich on the wonder bread grab a twinkie and a hawaiian punch, too uh, that's pretty funny because uh I mean if you're gonna compare like a blue collar mom from like 1982 midwest to like a bay area mom and like 2020. Yeah, I guess I could see where this is coming from But it's a little bit like uh Yeah, I mean there was bad kids back then too to be honest. I still eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches Is this not true? I actually like uh, the was it lunchables? Yeah, those are why we I still buy those sometimes However, I will say I do use almond butter I would say this man. It's like to me is pros and cons like the younger generation Maybe they are living a more macchiato kale organic quinoa lifestyle But they're definitely less problematic in other ways than the kids from the 80s or not, uh 80s or 70s were problematic, you know So it's just pros and cons. You're just like trading off Different pros and cons from different generations. Yeah, I do think as the pendulum swings Uh very far in this direction There will be a little bit of a pullback and a little bit of a balance more and there's always been a spectrum But it's just about where the bulk distribution is on the grow, uh on the plot real quick I want to address this like greek meme one 22 year old in 320 bc I've conquered half the world and i'm ready to choose my wives 22 year old in 2022 if she leaves me On scene i'll get depressed, right? it's funny but guys back then people used to live until the age of 40 and It was very like nobody had anything. There was no technology and nothing and women had no rights back then So it's you're not a man if you are not embracing the stoicness of marcus aurelius and the gladiators So this does tie into the last meme We live in a strange time where all the nerds watch billion dollar disney movies and the jocks read obscure Philosophic texts from ancient and medieval area, right? This would be like I guess a pop culture marvel geek versus like more I guess probably what in modern day would be viewed as like the jordan peterson sphere, right? Yeah, no, I I mean I think that the whole conversation about men like learning like the traditional men qualities I don't think that's bad as long as it's like kept in a in a you know in like a modern way I guess you know like I think you should read both obviously those texts are still around and still relevant especially in the western world and in the modern world, but uh, Yeah, I mean, I don't know man technology just changes basically, uh memes are extreme So obviously being extreme all the way this side towards the marvel geek guy Or being like hyper extreme to the other side where you're just thinking everything's like back to aristotle and plato It's all gonna seem like a little bit. Uh Outdated in modern day application because modern society is a mix of those things. Anyway guys, let's get into our final takeaways andrew This is just true that the boomers just like their World that they grew up in more than the zoomer world yeah, I I think that the boomers feel like and the and the gen x feel like that they're not being appreciated and Everybody's crapping on them and their lifestyle and all their beliefs saying. Oh, you're closed-minded. You're outdated. You're a wack Yeah, you guys set it up for us you guys bought all the real estate blah blah blah blah or whatever I don't even know what the arguments are and polluted the earth, etc Yeah, but uh, I think every generation has its gripes about every other generation But given the the the tools of media now, everybody can create and talk about and voice their displeasement Their displeasure with the other generation with these like sort of weird graphic memes, uh moving on andrew I don't think they feel appreciated. Like you said, I think that it's not only like this Just not only a generation. I didn't grow up with but they ain't showing no love Yeah, I mean I think in the comments down below you guys let us know what you think about these memes Like do you agree with them? Do you think they're funny? Do they have a point? Which one of these memes do you agree with most and what what can we do about this whole? generational divide Between the people where it's just like man Every day the zoomers and the boomers every day on facebook has its own echo chamber where the boomers and gen x people are going At the gen z and then the gen z is going to be it's almost like a tiktok comments versus like yahoo comments Yeah, that's why you just need to have uh conversations in person, man That's what i'm saying, dude. I would like to see more in-person discourse from like high profile Representative members. Let's do it. All right guys, everybody. Let us know in the comments down below Please hit that like button.
