No two generations have ever truly seen eye to eye.
The youth of the time has always blamed its predecessors for its most pressing issues, whilst older generations are quick to highlight how much harder they fought for their assets.
The most dramatic shift in this endless cycle may have been the sixties, when youth counterculture turned a new page and diverged greatly from the key objectives of its parent generation, yet the seemingly bitterest fight is currently in the offing between the Millennial generation and the so-called ‘Baby Boomer’ generation – and it’s swiftly spilling into the business world.
The latest development in the ongoing row between the two generations has flared up over the use of the phrase ‘Okay Boomer’, which is being used by Millennials and Gen-Z to dismiss attitudes generally attributed to the older generation. It gained notoriety this year when used by Green Party member Chlöe Swabrick, after receiving a heckle whilst speaking in Parliament.
