People love to poke fun at every generation, but boomers arguably get the brunt of it . So, as a curious Gen Z'er, I'm itching to know: if you're a boomer, what's a misconception younger people have about your generation that's totally wrong or misinterpreted?Maybe you hear a lot that"all boomers are conservative," but like all folk, there are people on all sides of the political spectrum.

Maybe you often hear younger folks say something along the lines of,"Boomers had it the easiest." And although it may be true in some cases, it wasn't in others. For example, there certainly weren't as many opportunities back then for women, members of the LGBTQ+ community, or people of color.Or, on a less serious note, perhaps you're tired of people always assuming you don't know how to use the current technology.
