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, 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, Been There: Disneyland Paris Summer of Superheroes

If you didn't already know, I live in Paris and I love all things Disney. So, naturally, I have an annual pass and go up there as much as I can. This summer, it's all things Marvel! I went yesterday to check out #StudioHero and review all of the super festivities (get it??) Disneyland Paris: Summer of Superheroes All of the superhero stuff is in the Studios Park, rather than the main park, but it's still really cool. You walk in and the first thing you see, before walking through the studio, is this massive Captain Marvel Statue:  And that's just the start. In the production courtyard, there are three more huge statues, of: The Hulk Black Panther And Iron Man. It's pretty cool to see all of this, and exciting to see your favourite heroes but bigger and better.  The decor isn't the end of the fun though! There's the opportunity to meet three big heroes: Captain Marvel, Captain America, and Spiderman. I met Captains Marve...
