You Just Might Agree With These 50 People Sharing Their Controversial Boomer Views
"Couples get divorced/break up too easily and for too trivial of reasons"
The younger generation's disagreement with the older generation on the majority of issues is practically a rule that'sunwritten. For instance, according to the Pew Research Centre, Millennials and Gen Z typically agree on the majority of social and political problems.
While Gen X, Baby Boomers, and the Silent Generation generally disagree with what younger people have to say, they do have similar beliefs among themselves. Although some may argue that this is simply how things are meant to be, people from different historical periods might nonetheless agree on certain issues.
In any case, playing boomer and escaping the cage of forced delight and perpetual astonishment at everything might be enjoyable for a little while. It's better to acknowledge that occasionally things are bad and voice your displeasure rather than internalising it and weakening your soul.
Perhaps if we voice our complaints, as long as they are not prejudiced or insensitive, we won't be as resentful and irritated when we eventually become the village elders. It turns out that younger individuals and elderly people have a lot in common.
In an online thread, someone asked, "What is a boomer opinion you absolutely agree with?" and so many people gave several examples. Let us know which hot takes you agree with or disagree with after viewing the most popular responses below!

We should recognise that a lot of today's problems, particularly those resulting from entitled children and technology gone wild, are not the fault of baby boomers. In retrospect, boomers' emphasis on independence, allowing children to be children, and maintaining a healthy scepticism towards technology can all be justified.
Put otherwise, the baby boomers were correct! In any case, about a few topics.
Ultimately, every generation—whether positive or negative—contributes in a different way to the fabric of society. This includes baby boomers and you can leave your thoughts in the comment section.
