Keanu reeves is so close to and so engrained in gen x culture that I think it's unfair to label him a boomer

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

WTF are Keanu Reeves and Madonna doing there π
Madonna - Born 1958
Keanu - Born 1964 so boomer of the cutoff year.
It's not my countdown clock, but all the images they chose are of the baby boomer generation, chronologically.
False.
What kind of psycopath counts generation death as a good thing. All interesting humans dead and you take it as an achievement.
Stop crying on the past. Stop blaming past on generations. Start learning from past generation mistakes, and thank them for having you.
Because as a new generation we're going to make a lot of mistakes, who knows if more or less than the past generations. And we shouldn't be blamed in the future.
Blaming the past generations and not learning from them is a childish response. Start doing something productive and useful to society, blaming is not helping.
Stop having tantrums and grow up. And thank you have past generations otherwise you would have to create all we have now from scratch.
It's like saying "Newton dumb" because his work is old and it doesn't work correctly for all physical frames, not like Einstein his work is much better. Both are as good because they lived at different times with different technology, knowledge, society, etc.
This feels like explaining basic life knowledge to a 3 year old tbh.
How disappointed we will all be when all the boomers are dead and it doesnβt solve any of our problems.
We'll just have to see, won't we?
Plus, it's not like the climate will just snap back into place when the boomers are finally too old for their skeleton talons to cling to power. That shit is going to take generations of sacrifice to roll back, if it doesn't topple civilization first.
The whole ethos of the majority of baby boomers seems to have been to raze the forest they got to enjoy behind them (as opposed to planting trees whose shade they'd never sit in like most generations aspire to), and they seem to be having remarkable success in that.
Boomer is a state of mind. They are never going extinct.
