It was marketing bullshit to begin with for the most part, though there is something conspicuously wrong with most people I know from the 45-75 age range and it does line up with the supposed boomer stereotypes but that could just be a low chance but possible coincidence.
Besides the lead poisoning, i think that the material conditions boomers experienced are so unique that it can explain why they're like that. It was the absolute gravy train of history. They reaped all the benefits that labor movements fought for, they lived through a relative "peace" they didn't fight for, they got every concession that the ruling class was ever going ro hand out because they were afraid of the Soviet Union and revolution. They lived their whole lives in a kind of prosperity mankind has never known, and they took it completely for granted. In fact they took it as a given, that it was completely normal.
They have 0 ability to concieve of their lives in the context in which they occured. Which is what i find hard to understand, but its clearly true. This isn't a defense of boomers. I was raised by they so i hate them lol. But, ultimately
was formed by material conditions, including a dash of lead poisoning.They have 0 ability to concieve of their lives in the context in which they occured. Which is what i find hard to understand, but its clearly true.
I think the lead poisoning really kicks in here, because a major feature of lead poisoning in the brain is mental inflexibility and a rejection of new data.
dont forget the lack of empathy, jack
The number of internet chuds that see empathy as a bad thing worthy of mockery is too damn high.
mfw that explains a lot about my parents

That clears up a lot.
And increased violent and aggressive behavior.
So many symptoms of boomerism line up with lead poisoning.
I don't know what it could be, surely not lead poisoning
