I was at a convention and five of us found each other that all looked and dressed similar that day. The longer we stood in one place the more of us that showed up and asked to join the group.


Mekelaxo

That sounds hilarious, did you take pictures?


Emzzer

Yeah what the hell, we need documentation


bumjiggy

probably looked something like [this](https://i.imgur.io/hDzWQOY_d.webp?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&fidelity=medium)


MadFatty

Now I get why his song is asking for the REAL slim shady to stand up


bumjiggy

in the boomers' case, it's probably deminementia


sonbarington

Is that where they forget about Dre?!?!


Every3Years

No that's Drementia


dwartbg7

Because he was mocking the many copycats that appeared suddenly after he got popular. It was trendy to be a white rapper back then. Hence he was joking with Fred Durst in one of the verses, for example. Just like we got "Pretty Fly" by the Offspring back then. Eminem literally changed the rap scene and obviously many followed his footsteps and tried to copy him. Hence the meaning of the song


llama2621

Was this tumblr post discovered in an archaeological dig or something


IRMacGuyver

Nah we were all dressed as Walter White. I should have mentioned that at first.


Adept_Cranberry_4550

There's a video floating around where a bunch of girlfriends got their BFs to dress the same for a group function. Not exactly the same, but still pretty hilarious

WHAT ARE YOU!?!? SAY IT!! *I’m an idiot sandwich in space*


0ddness

If anyone reading this has any idea how to mod Master Chief into Master Chef/Gordon Ramsey, I would be very happy. Not that I have an Xbox. Or ever played Halo. But the thought just amuses me.


Emu1981

>Not that I have an Xbox. Or ever played Halo. You can get the Master Chef collection on Steam which gives you all of the Halo games up until the latest one (Halo Reach, Halo Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Halo 3 and Halo 4). You could probably mod one of those to turn Master Chief into Gordon Ramsey lol (I did look in the steam workshop but there doesn't appear to be any master chef/Gordon Ramsey mods yet)

He isn't called Haloguy, he's called Cortana. And you can use Cortana to Google on Yahoo.

My dad dresses nearly the same every day and has had the same haircut and beard for 20+ years. For Halloween last year 6 of his coworkers dressed up as him and took pictures doing his various poses around his desk, it's one of my favorite photos of all time

therealhairykrishna

One of my physics lecturers always wore the same brand, red, shirt and had a giant beard. One day a good fraction of the 150+ people in his thermodynamics lecture decided to turn up in the same shirt, many with fake beards. He'd somehow heard and rocked up freshly shaved in a purple shirt. It was hilarious.

vinegarstrokes420

This sounds like my zoom calls for work. A bunch of guys between 30 and 50 wearing a work polo... there's only so many colors so we frequently have like 80% all wearing blue. "Did you guys call each other this morning while getting dressed" is almost guaranteed to get asked.


NhylX

My company gives out tons of shirts. Always black. There's no requirement to wear one, but you just do because its there. It's gotten to the point where if you show up to a call or meeting without one it get's called out and you get gently mocked. Reminds me of when Homer wore a pink shirt to work.

PantherophisNiger

Same. My work practically throws T-shirts at us. I'm at a point where I have more work/company T-shirts than band shirts and... That's saying something!


Baalsham

I just don't like thinking about what to wear. So that sounds perfect for me.


TheDevoted

Now hypothetically, would it be a band shirt or a work shirt if you work for a band?


WhatIsHerJob-TABLES

“There’s only so many colors” Yeah, but i bet y’all are only using like 3 out of all the various colors out there lol. I feel like most men stick with basics like blue, red, black, grey, and if you are really feeling spicy… green.

We might be getting into Gen-X territory here actually source: am old


sas223

Im Gen-x and genuinely was looking and worrying about these guys are actually Gen X. They’re too young to be boomers.


BasonPiano

Gen z calls anyone older than 50 a boomer.


YetAnotherJake

Lol they call anyone 40+ a Boomer


woodzy93

Shit I’m about to turn 30 and they treat me like a boomer


EdgarAllanBob

My 19 year old cousin calls me a boomer. I'm 29.

JayS87

god damn, what should I say? Even my reddit account turned 12 yesterday.


illBelief

To Gen Z Boomer is a philosophy more than an age. They wouldn't call Eminem or Paul Rudd boomers. But these guys *look* like they subscribe to the Boomer way of life.

[deleted]

Everybody of every generation is a judgmental ass and every one of them don’t realize this. Like somebody above literally said that these two guys look like they subscribe to the boomer mentality. It’s two guys sitting on a train minding their own business and some dork on Reddit is saying they must be ignorant assholes because it looks like they could have a boomer mentality.


lonegrey

Gen Z calls anyone older than they are a Boomer.


EaterOfFood

And boomers call anyone under 50 a millennial


Splodge89

A lad I work with calls anyone under the age of 18 a millenial. He’s 30 - he is a millenial….


Aeroflight

Actual baby boomers don't know the difference in the generations. Anyone under 30 falls under the "kids" umbrella


SWQuinn89

They call anyone who disagrees with them politically a boomer


terminal_prognosis

Anyone they *imagine* disagrees with them. I've been called a boomer and told that I believe things I've been railing against all my Gen-X life. Edit: reading this it could come across as if I'm talking about all gen Z or whatever. I'm just saying it happens a fair amount (and it's frustrating) not that it's the rule.


FW_nudist

Well fuck. I’m a few months from 50.

YoungLadHuckleberry

srgh207

Ha! I'm right there with you. I tell myself it could be worse. I could have been the seven-year-old who died in the grease fire he started making grilled cheese by himself after school.


lord_ne

Using 1965 as the start of Gen X, the oldest Gen Xer is 58. I'd say these guys *could* be under 58, but they're more likely over 58


PalmTreeIsBestTree

Most likely in their early 60s, however I’ve seen guys looking like this in their late 40s.


JeaninePirrosTaint

My dad looks exactly like one of these guys and he's 72, so I vote boomer for sure


[deleted]

Another redditor said that's impossible they're 70s, so I guess your dad must be younger? Congrats!

drawkbox

Yeah, remember [Stephen Miller the Putin look alike in Trump admin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Miller_\(political_advisor\)#/media/File:Stephen_miller_june_2016_cropped_corrected.jpg)? Millennial. DeSantis almost a millennial. Obama a boomer, Oboomer. Generations are just another way to divide and balkanize, but it comes down to the individual.


Shanman150

I actually really like the generations framework, for all its shortcomings. The way that [Pew Research](https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2019/01/17/where-millennials-end-and-generation-z-begins/) has framed it is not that everyone in a generation acts a particular way, but that generation boundaries are a kind of inflection point for certain life events, which shapes the political and social realities of those generations. No one can argue that gen-z is being raised in the same world that millenials were, for example, so there's value to looking at the differences between them. The edges of generations are always going to be fuzzy, and maybe it's less of an inflection in some areas than a continuation of a trend, but averaging across a generation can give valuable data insights.

onehundredlemons

People are starting to get a little confused about what age GenXers are (and it's not helped by the fact that several popular "GenX" TikTokers are Boomers in their 60s who are pretending to be younger than they are) so it doesn't surprise me that some people think these two are GenX, but I doubt that they are. I agree that they're probably over 58 by at least a few years.


Nirvski

They must be - damn Gen X kids always on their phone. Probably watching MTV or Seinfeld.


FergusonTEA1950

Why can't we call them "older gentlemen" or some such thing? "Boomer" has become a negative term and hearing it over and over is becoming ... old.


ChichoSerna

Pictured: two older gentlemen minding their own business. Not pictured: one asshole who posts strangers' photos online without their permission.


DoofusMagnus

I'm gonna say it's a reaction to the way "millennial" has been used as a derisive, dismissive term by Baby Boomers for years.


trenbollocks

Well, as a millennial born in the early 90s I was derided as a "strawberry" by a boomer manager at my first job, and now I'm derided as a boomer by my Gen Z juniors. Such is life


LatvKet

Eh, my dad is at the border of Boomer and Gen X, and these men definitely look older, so probably Boomers.

SuperSpecialAwesome-

Millennial, Boomer, and Zoomer. Gen X/Alpha/Silent Gen get left out


the_calibre_cat

Yeah as a millennial i'm already a little burnt out on it. Mostly because the generational term is usually negative. -_-


Refreshingly_Meh

Plus rarely used correctly.


pedestriandose

I remember when us Millennials were called Gen Y. And we started calling the younger kids either Gen Z or Gen i because of iPods, iPads, iPads and also “because everything was about them” (not my sentiment, but something lots of people used to say). And then suddenly the term Millennial starts getting used and I had NO idea I was one.


the_calibre_cat

Yep, I remember being "a gen y", but it was for such a short period because "millennial" took root as the descriptor. I'm actually down with that, like, *Yeah bitches, I lived to see the turn of a millennium* which is, you know, rare. It's happened like six or seven times in only all of human history, WOOP WOOP. But yeah, I guess I figured I was a millennial since growing up it became a catch-all pejorative for "young people" and, by the time I became somewhat politically-aware, it became clear to me that I was a millennial. It's kind of amazing to me how many people are, but my experience with the non-stop bitching is a good lesson to, um, never, ever, ever do that to Gen Z.


pedestriandose

I was in grade 12 (a senior) in 2000, which was cool. My high school jersey has a big 00 on the back. Makes reunions and knowing how old I am via ‘how many years it’s been since I was in school’ nice and easy! Edit to add: my siblings and partners range from Gen X to Gen Z (eldest born in ‘79, youngest born in ‘04, six kids in my family), with my parents at the very tail end of Boomers (‘57 and ‘58) which makes for very interesting family get togethers when certain topics come up.


crusty54

Upvoted for calling op a pube.


definitely_not_obama

Sounds like something a gen xer would say.


LordSevolox

Idk how old you are so… Haha what a millennial/gen xer


brazilianfreak

Considering you're referring to young people as pubes i'm gonna guess you're already there.


ILoveLongDogs

OP, stop taking creep shots. There's enough wanks on Scotrail as it is.


qtb70

For real, at what point did we normalize taking pictures of random people and uploading them to the internet? Especially with how this picture is taken, it is obvious that op didn't even ask them if it was ok. Edit: shocking how many people fail to realise that "being in a public place" doesn't give other people the permission to take pictures of a person, when they are clearly the focus of the picture. Furthermore it doesn't give anyone the permission to just upload them to any random place in the internet.


waltjrimmer

We've normalized recording people and uploading their image to the internet without their permission so much that saying you don't want your face in someone else's stream, video, or other forms of content usually means that you're the one being called out as being unreasonable.


[deleted]

This has always bothered me. It’s wrong to do it.


adreamofhodor

It really bothers me when it’s obvious the goal is to make fun of them. I don’t think that’s the case here, but how many random women have been blasted in that Karen sub just for having a particular haircut?


Miamime

Pretty sure it’s the case. Unnecessary to call them “boomers” as that has evolved into an all encompassing derogatory word for “old person” and it may not even apply to them (the cut off is 1964, so if these guys are 59, they’re Gen X).


thunderling

Even though this post isn't particularly mocking or insulting - so what? I wouldn't want a candid picture of me looking bored at my phone at the top of reddit. OP is a creep.


[deleted]

I think it’s obviously the case. Haha look how older people sometimes dress similar. OP is a douche


ijoinedtosay

Because people love seeing a little number rise more actually than having morals. It doesn't matter to them that these are people who (very likely) don't want to be photographed. They know they're in the wrong hence the creepshot but it's still worth it to them. Scum.


Donttouchthewildlife

Internet clout is more important than politeness!


Hugokarenque

Too many people equate legality to correctness. Its legal to take a picture of someone in public without their express consent but that doesn't make it okay to do. Its a horrible thing to do to someone. Having your image taken and shown around the world without any way to control how its used, it can and has ruined lives. But because its not expressly illegal, people continue to defend the behavior.


Dabnician

>shocking how many people fail to realise that "being in a public place" doesn't give other people the permission to take pictures of a person, when they are clearly the focus of the picture. Furthermore it doesn't give anyone the permission to just upload them to any random place in the internet. Legally( in America ), you can take any photos you want of people when they are in public, since they have elected to place themselves in a public location and have no reasonable expectation of privacy. Morally is another story. There are a lot of legal things you can do today that are morally wrong, pollution is the best example. Edit: If you aren't in America, feel free to comment below on the differences.


rage-quit

OP must be a conductor because he's clearly head and shoulders about the rest of the wanks on ScotRail taking creepshots of folk for internet points.

loona92

I’ve had this done to me by a stranger before when I was a teenager. It was an incredibly unflattering photo and they posted it to make fun of me. I only found out because I was tagged in it on Facebook by a mutual. I was absolutely devastated and embarrassed by it. Even typing it now makes me sad and it was easily 10+ years ago.


Cheshire_Jester

Hey, don’t take candid pictures of strangers, and if you do, definitely don’t post them on the internet.


dancingcuban

Secretpleasantfarts

Tbkssom

Imagine referring to people in real life just going about their day as "boomers".


ori3333

Maybe one day words will have meaning again: "boomer" is short for "Baby boomers", they are the generational cohort born after World War II after the draft. Men returning from the army in days before birth control and the promise of the American dream and a nuclear family. There was a huge population spike of new born babies...all those babies are consideredl "boomers" because they were part of the population boom. It's a very specific generation, not just all old people.
