The Generation Who Popularised The “Snowflake” Stereotype Are Snowflakes

[TheDevil]

The baby boomers of the world invented the term "Snowflake" for millennial's who seem upset.

The phrase "OK BOOMER" was coined in response to this, and apparently it's getting the boomers more upset than the millennial's!

[brainiac]

more upset than the millennial's what?

[AuntPollyGrey]

I think you'll find it was journalists that invented the word 'snowflake' not
baby boomers' ( a phrase also invented by the Press).

[TheDevil]

The journalists were boomers.

[TheDevil]

Chuck Palahniuk is 57. The baby boomer age is 55-75.

that's because the Baby Boomer generation wern't and still aren't pussy footers, I could list lots of stuff that the poor twees can't cope with now, ask any of the so called BBs, did it do us any harm? No it hasn't

[Apc2604]

I am a baby boomer and I still don't really know what being a snowflake means! I only find it on AB. None of my boomer friends and relations talk about snowflakes.

[TheDevil]

Bobbi your answer has no gravity. What are you referring to? Pussyfooters? What?

[Togo]

My generation put men on the moon. Your generation put men in the women's bogs.

[TheDevil]

OK boomer

[Bobbisox1]

pussy footers as in You mustn't do this , you must't do that , the list is endless

[Bobbisox1]

Togo for BA (if only)

[TheDevil]

Surely if anything, millennial are saying "you should do this, you should do that" ? Opposed to you shouldn't do this and that.

[Bobbisox1]

neither do mine apc but I know who and what it means, even Trivial Pursuit have a specialised game of theirs called it, LOL

[TheDevil]

It's nice that being involved in the generation you are, you take personal pride over man having walked on the moon.

[Barmaid]

I think it is wrong to label and stereotype anyone on the basis of when they were born.

I've seen "snowflakes" in every generation; equally I have seen "non-snowflakes".

[Bobbisox1]

/// urely if anything, millennial are saying "you should do this, you should do that" ? Opposed to you shouldn't do this and that.////
that's exactly who I mean TD
as I said , the list is endless what the millennial are wanting to do
by the way, do you cease being a BB after 75, what will we be called then?

[TheDevil]

it's not about ur age bobbi but the years you were born.

[Bobbisox1]

I agree entirely with BM, it's total poppycock anyway all these new words creeping in !

[Bobbisox1]

by the way, I am happy to defend my generation any time, I wasn't back peddling there ;o)
