Youngsters these days.


My 24 year old grandson finished his tour in the service recently and has been staying with us for the past several months. He got himself a good job, to help out and take care of himself, while deciding what to do in the future - back to school, etc.
After he got a few good pay checks, I joking suggested he buy his Pa a new CD player. If looks could kill. "Why would you want a new CD player?" He asked. I told him "just to upgrade the one I have". "No one buys CD players anymore" he exclaimed. "Then what's your Idea of fine Audio, a WalkMan?" I asked. "WOW! There's not even any such thing as a WalkMan any more" he said. To which I replied, "Ya there is, we have a guy on our forum who swears by em". He just rolled his eyes and said "No - Streaming! Using an iPhone or iPad you can get a streaming package and get all the music you want". "Why would I want to do That?" I asked "I have hundreds of great LPs and CDs, that I'm perfectly happy with." To that he replied "OK Boomer".  I guess that meant he knew I was right.
Why is it that youngsters just don't understand the love that some of us old folks have for our old LPs and CDs and we  have no interest in paying for another monthly service, to listen to all the music we already have?

"Ok boomer" is a dismissive term of derision used by kids who have been programmed by our public schools to find wisdom and eternal truths incomprehensibly difficult to understand.  

He rents, you own. He consumes experiences, you accumulate wealth. People so hopelessly programmed are often beyond reach. About the only thing that might work is if you can find on LP some music he really likes and is into so much he actually stops what he's doing and listens to it. Which is unlikely. Nobody sits and listens to streaming. It plays in the background like glorified elevator Muzak. But if there is such a thing, and if his attention span hasn't been atomized down to the millisecond level, you just might be able to get him to listen long enough to a record to maybe for the first time in his life experience actual music.  

But anyone who says to their grandfather Ok boomer, I wouldn't hold my breath.

I'm 73 years old. Streaming is what I do first thing in the morning. If I'm lucky.
@bdp24 The former for your comment. 
The GenZ kids I know are so chaotic, it's difficult to communicate on the same plane.
