The Gen Z Law Regarding Boomers For Off Season Sake.

That will be great! We will get to choose between wu-tang and Taylor Swift!

I am gen X this is already in my yard!

do you think those percentages per age bracket have stayed relatively constant throughout much of voting history?

i'd bet that percentage has gone up in the 18-24 range if anything.

Not sure. I would bet the same. We all know old dudes vote and that young people have not and are not terribly engaged.

Here are the raw numbers. And we wonder why our choices look like a remake of Grumpy Old Men (side note: both stars from that movie were much younger than our current choices. Matthau was 73 and Lemmon was 68.)

Podaster/comedian Dillon's net is said to be worth 12 million.

Well he's even dumber than Keith Olbermann. God bless America!

Wu-tang is definitely more of a GenX thing than a Millennial or Gen Z thing. T-Swift is Millenial/GenZ.

Dont forget the Kardashians. Did Gex Z or Millennials make the Kardashians famous? They're the ultimate "content creators" to whom a lot expire.

I couldn’t really say. I’ve never really kept up with the Kardashians.

...can see what you did there.

My lovely wife loves Southern Charm...I have a terrible habit of watching the whole thing with her, all the while griping about it. The very definition of insanity.

Don't you put that evil on us. Gen x contributed heavily to those Neilson ratings.

What I wouldn't give for a Ghostface killah presidential speech. It would be legendary

“This show is so stupid. Turn it up, I can’t even hear what they’re saying.”

Mine is bachelor/bachelorette. Should be "sin tax" on that stupid show. Kills more brain cells than drinking or smoking.

90 Day Fiancé here. Such a train wreck.

Exactly, closed cap mode & I still turn it up...

The article isn't that far off. Boomers have a distorted view of how the world is today, Gen Z has a distorted view of how the world should be.

Here is a clue:
Boomers are still living and paying bills and buying houses/cars in today's world.
I worked 60+ hours a week most of my life. Why? Because I wasn't lazy and I wanted to get ahead in life.
I also didn't spend my days staring at a computer or cell phone.

No “clues” needed. But one for you, your situation should not be applied to every Boomer. Neither those lazy one that fought for civil rights, nor those that attended Woodstock and smoked dope. A LOT of dope. There is considerable variety in every generation, but carry on.

When the cuts to SS are brought up…

Little to add, except that most people, Boomers included, have nothing to do with the deficit. Most of us vote conservative, but then one omnibus after another passes, or "the government will be shut down". Maybe if Rand Paul gets McConnell's spot?
