       @mjgardner Ironic that our generation is the one to continuously be forgotten, given that the name comes from the old marketing term "Brand X," meaning "generic."I'm still trying to figure out how all those flower children and hippies turned into semi-senile sociopaths and Karens.

       @RL_Dane People have been aging into sociopathic semi-senility for centuries. “Karen” and “OK boomer” are just this era’s clichéd generalizations.In other words: gaze upon your future and despair.

       @mjgardner It isn't even that. It's PC ad hominem. "You are above a certain age, therefore your arguments are invalid."

       @setsly @mjgardner I'm using "politically correct" in the non-partisan sense of being acceptable within a political group. It's acceptable within certain political groups to make age a target of mockery. Of course, it's always selective who gets "OK boomer"ed.
