Re: 40 things Baby Boomers think are cool but arent

That goes to show not all in a generation are alike.  I can't say any are cool except diamonds.  

 

Did anyone really buy fuzzy toilet seat covers?

I find this list a bunch of nonsense. And who is the self proclaimed authority on what is or isn't "cool" who produced this list. Lol

This list is total nonsense. It's clearly written by someone having no contact with reality.

To think that these people will be running our countries and the world someday is quite frightening!


@Xivambala Oh cheer up!  Surely a FEW of them will grow up!  


 

 

I'm a baby boomer, and I have grown up at age 64.  Babiy Boomers aren't that young.  They were born between 1946 and 1964.

 

I don't know about "cool," but I think it's a shame they aren't teaching cursive writing anymore.  How in the world do you sign your name?  No one's signature would be recognizable.

How about I mail in a check written in cursive for some crocs and high waisted pants that I bought from a shopping channel while listening to a record during my meatloaf lunch on my china plate?

I always figure each generation has something.  To each their own.  Glad I am not so narrow minded.

 

I see a lot of what is old is new again too.

@Annabellethecat66 You are so right -  "cool" itself is not cool.

I'm a boomer and wouldn't dream of thinking many of these things are cool.  It pays not to assume things about any generation.  Smiley Happy
