I love everyone that started complimenting her shirt at the end LMAO
Boomer FreakoutI hope everyone reading this will forgive me for my ignorance, but TIL that Boomers don't only exist in America! I thought that was a 'Murican thing! 🤦🏽♀️
ETA: The culture and the tude, not just the age group.
IIRC the baby boom was all over the world but the US had the most significant one. I do agree that the "ok boomer" meme developed from uniquely American (and Canadian) boomerisms.
Recently I've been questioning whether or not it's appropriate to refer to other nationalities as boomers, though. Certainly post-WWII German "boomers" have a different psychology than American boomers, no? I've only known one, my ex-FIL, and I hated that fucking asshole. But he was nothing like American boomers.
Australian Boomers & American Boomers are almost identical.
I just checked Wikipedia and NZ and Australia had the first and second largest baby booms on the planet, not the US/CA. TIL
Did Australia also have crazy economic prosperity post-WWII like the US did?

I think it was a fairly prosperous time. Australia had a manufacturing sector back then & lots of union jobs so I think it was a good time to be working class. We didn't have the masses of money that America made from the war but things were pretty good.
Additional: Like America, Australia came out of WW2 largely unscathed. Only one of our cities got bombed. Darwin wasn't a big place then & most of the manufacturing was in Sydney & Melbourne so we came out of WW2 in really good shape. Better than most places anyway.
