    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.

          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.

              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.

                  I didn’t ask for examples of positive boomer humor I asked for a

                  primary source that backs up what you are saying

                  an editorial that describes itself as opinion is absolutely not that.

                  Putting that aside, even those examples don’t answer the original question, how is this post boomer humor? To which nobody has been able to provide an answer that isn’t also chastising me for not innately understanding the world the exact same way as other people. I hope someday somebody treats your confusion with the same level of disdain.
