         | stuff just to get angry.

       | The word Boomer echoes loud and clear. Are there actually Jimmy
       | Buffet fans under 50? I'm one year away from being able to live
       | in a retirement community (gasp) and I still think I'm a college
       | freshman, but the contrast is sharp between this article (The New
       | Yorker) and forums such as /r/antiwork on Reddit, or Twitter in
       | general.

         | It doesn't matter if they are young or old, even if they
         | primarily listen to hip hop, they probably have found memories
         | of going down to the Keyes and having the time of their lives
         | at some point listening to some Jimmy Buffet. I can liken it to
         | Christmas music, it's not going to be your go to or even your
         | favorite, but it has it's time and place when nothing can be
         | better.
