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? Queer Eye

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. Queer Eye Right, so if you are in any way aware of current popular culture, you'll have heard of Queer Eye, the Netflix reboot of the classic show where five gay men (the so-called "Fab Five") makeover people. Season three landed on Netflix yesterday (March 15) and I am living, I've already watched it all. If you've not already seen this show, lemme tell you why you should. First off, it's not your typical makeover show. Like yeah, I get it, you're thinking "it's a bunch of fashion conscious gay guys so it is" but it's really not. I mean, they do have aspects of that, they makeover their wardrobe, their look, their living space, but they do so much more. In just a week, they seem to makeover peoples' lives. As well as the three aforementioned aspects, ther...

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...
