    I said culturally he is a boomer which is absolutely true. Specifying that a dude born in 1944 isn't technically a boomer is entirely missing the point and is being pedantic. He did all the same shit boomers did. Generations are a cultural construct. What material difference does the month and a half difference actually make on any way? It doesn't. So yes it's pedantic. Eat my dad's ass

      The fact that people are getting upset by this comment is hilarious. You're 100% correct.

        You could also argue that the first few boomers were culturally silent generation. Vague generational divides go both ways. It’s a pointless debate that was needlessly escalated

          Danny DeVito went to college in the 60s and his career boomed through the late 70s through the 80s. Dude had a pretty typical boomer life even.

                Oh I never said I wasn’t engaged in it. I’m just not picking a side about what generation Danny Devito is in

        No, gotta split hairs so someone you like doesn't fall into a 20 year spanning generation because meme says they're bad.

            Yet you still needed the last word. Don't start shit and then act like I bothered you.

              Not the one you were responding to but… you’re actually the one who started the fuss over which generation he’s in? They were just responding to you and from my perspective you escalated faster.

              Then they literally said you were right and disengaged. And you got mad at that too.

              I diagnose you with reddit brain and your prescription is Log Off for a Bit :meow-shining:
