I have literally never heard “boomer humor” or “boomer” applied in a positive light
Just because you haven’t personally come across it doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist.
a quick search is backing up my thinking
Fun fact: the most common examples will show up at the top of search results. Uses free of negative connotations are not as frequent and as such tend to be further down the results and thus tend to not be found in a QUICK search unless you get your search parameters JUST right.
I didn’t say or suggest that my lack of knowledge meant that it didn’t exist.
Then provide a primary source that backs up what you are saying please. Otherwise all I have to go on is the word of a bully and an unconvincing internet stranger who’s only argument so far is the same one I heard about god and faith when I was forced to go to Sunday school.
Exactly how am I moving the goal posts by saying that an editorial that literally bills itself as opinion isn’t a definition of “boomer humor”? You have officially lost me with this.
It showed EXAMPLES of positive boomer humor, which is what you asked for. I can explain it for you, and I have, exhaustively, but I can’t understand simple concepts for you, so I’m just gonna stop jumping through your hoops now.
Says the one who literally opened with “what about” 😛
To answer your question, though, “boomer” isn’t just a pejorative, nor is “boomer humor” necessarily an insult.
Point of fact: this comic is of a wholesome but silly kind of humor that boomers absolutely adore and that doesn’t mean that it’s bad.
I also could have just said “how”. I wasn’t being an asshole just because somebody else didn’t understand something I did.
I disagree, I have literally never heard “boomer humor” or “boomer” applied in a positive light and a quick search is backing up my thinking on that.

Took me literally a few seconds
This is an editorial that describes these as the diamonds in the rough, not boomer humor as not cringe or as one cells in general.
I’m sorry, but exactly WHERE are you saying you want the goalposts to be now? 🤦🏻
