In 2019, a 72 year old man called Maurice Turner complained on TikTok that

“infantile millennials and Gen Zers never seem to want to grow up, and believe that their utopian ideals are somehow magically going to translate into adulthood”

The #okboomer hashtag, born out of this moment, symbolised a battle between two sets of people who grew up on the same landmass in Western Europe at two very different different moments in history.

The boomers (born between 1946 and 1964) expressing a belief that the younger generation’s economic difficulties derive from a lack of financial maturity, symbolised by Netflix subscriptions, café lattes and excessive consumption of avocados.

The Millennials and Gen Zers (born between 1981 and 2012) on the other hand thinking that maybe that their financial difficulties exist because the boomers took all the resources.
