Curly Hair, What's in There?: Ok Boomer

We've all noticed the recent trend in this phrase, and the outrage it's caused on the internet. Personally, I think it's a step forward in youth culture, and here's why. If you want to know the reasons; if you're a boomer, or if you're exasperated with a boomer, read this.

Curly Hair, What's in There? : Ok Boomer

I'm a part of that in between generation: born in 1998, I'm just too young to be a millennial, and a little old for Gen Z. We're not really sure where we belong but we share the same experiences as both generations. I like this tweet to sum it up:
We're kind of stuck in the middle of the two groups, but we also have the same current mindset: boomers suck.

 In the past we've tried to explain things to boomers: the positives of technology, why we're 'destroying' so many industries, why we're all so depressed, and they've not listened to our logical arguments and evidence based reasoning. So, at this point, we've given up on trying to convince them that we're decent people who are just struggling in the world that they created (ruined). The new response is Ok, Boomer.

 Now here's the issue: Boomers are hella sensitive. They don't accept our logic, because more often than not it incriminates them, but they don't like us simply giving up and responding like the children they think we are. Many, many, far too many people from this generation have dubbed the word boomer as a slur, an ageist, disrespectful word 'on par with the n-word'. Boomers, please;
From John Mulaney's New in Town
So I'm gonna throw around the word boomer as much as I like, because, like most of my generation, I'm sick and tired of being judged by people for things that affect them in no way; being blamed for things that I didn't do; trying to change things to make the world a better place and always getting blocked. I've had enough of this climate change-denying, economy-ruining, entitled, rude, bossy generation, and in response to any backlash I might get for this standpoint, I have only two words: Ok Boomer.

Curly Hair, What's in There? The Haunting of Hill House

Curly Hair, What's in There?  is a segment that will explore the random topics that are always circling my mind, things I want to talk about or things I want to share. The Haunting of Hill House  I know, I'm a little bit behind the curve on this one. It's taken me a long time to get around to watching this Netflix original series, but boy was I glad when I did. I like horror and I like drama and this series has it all. It explores some really serious themes while at the same time being exciting and scary. The series is about the Crain family, their experience in the haunted Hill House, named after its first owners, and how it affects them for their whole lives. I have a lot of thoughts and opinions about this show, so be prepared. To keep it as simple as possible, I'm going to talk about my five favourite things about this show. This contains SPOILERS for The Haunting of Hill House 1. Olivia Crain Carla Gugino as Olivia Olivia is the mother of the C...

Curly Hair, Been There: New York City (Part Six)

Curly Hair, Been There is a segment that explore the different places in the world I have been, and my experiences there. I recently went on holiday to New York and over the next few weeks I'm going to share all the cool things I did while I was there. Since I was there for a week, this is going to be a seven part series, a post for each day. Saturday was great fun. Curly Hair, Been There: New York City (Part Six) Saturday was another fairly chill day. we went to the New York Public Library first thing, to see the original Winnie the Pooh toys, which were so cute and amazing to see. If you didn’t know, I adore Winnie the Pooh. It was a big, pretty building, in which the A.A. Milne box was the highlight. This was in the children’s library though, and I don’t think children are going to appreciate these as much as adults are. Although, they are trying to keep the stories alive over the generations so maybe they do care. Anyway, that was super cool and I would 10/10 recom...

Curly Hair, What's in There? : Falsettos

You all know how much I love musicals. Like, a lot. One of my favourite musicals of all time is Falsettos, and I was lucky enough to get to see the London production this week. This is my review (prepare for a lot of excitement). Curly Hair, What's in There? : Falsettos For those that don't know: Falsettos is a composite of stories written in 1979-1990 by William Finn and James Lapine. It starts in 1979 and follows Marvin, a gay man who leaves his wife Trina and their son Jason, for his lover Whizzer. It explores these complex relationships, partly through Marvin's psychiatrist, Mendel, who goes on to fall in love with Trina. Act two skips to 1981, and deals with the organisation of Jason's bar mitzvah, as well as the AIDS crisis, and introduces the 'lesbians from next door'. It's an incredible show as it's hilarious but also heartbreaking and sweet as anything. Now that the plot is done, let me go into detail of what I loved (all of it). ...
