“The Baby Boomers: whiny, narcissistic, self-indulgent people with a simple philosophy: “Gimme that! It’s mine!” These people were given everything, everything was handed to them, and they took it all, sold it all; sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll, and they stayed loaded for twenty years and had a free ride. But now they’re staring down the barrel of middle-age burnout, and they don’t like it. They don’t like it, so they’ve become self-righteous, and they wanna make things hard for young people. They tell em abstain from sex, say no to drugs. As for rock ‘n’ roll, they sold that for television commercials a long time ago so they can buy pasta machines and StairMasters and soybean futures. You know something? They’re cold, bloodless people. It’s in their slogans, it’s in their rhetoric: “No pain, no gain,” “Just do it,” “Life is short, play hard,” “Shit happens, deal with it,” “Get a life.” These people went from “Do your own thing” to “Just say no!” They went from “Love is all you need” to “Whoever winds up with the most toys, wins”, and they went from cocaine to Rogaine. And you know something? They’re still counting grams, only now it’s fat grams. And the worst of it is we have to watch the commercials on TV for Levi’s loose-fitting jeans and fat-ass Docker pants because these degenerate, yuppie, Boomer cocksuckers couldn’t keep their hands off the croissants and the Häägen-Dasz and their big fat asses have spread all over and they have to wear fat-ass Docker pants. Fuck these Boomers, fuck these yuppies… and fuck everyone, now that I think of it.”
George Carlin – 1996
I love Carlin! Now the Boomers are trying to fuck us over again by installing a bankster puppet regime in the whitehouse – AGAIN! Gotta hang on to that medicare. Thank you Boomers – ASSHOLES!!
GC is hilarious.
If George Carlin would have run for POTUS, I would have voted for him …. and I am a damn Boomer !!! …. but NOT like he depicts. I’m a TBP Boomer — the best kind there is.

I’m making you an honorary Gen X member because you understand the difference between generations and individuals. Most Boomers seem to have a comprehension gene missing that makes them personalize comments about a generational cohort.
Thank you, Jimmeh!! I am honored!!
Can I still listen to CCR, The Moody Blues, Carol King, im Croce, etc. etc? I hope so, cuz I really can’t stand Gen X music for the most part.
It’s both funny and sad how people take things so damn personal. Jeezus. Get a life.

Gen Xers are allowed to like Boomer music. But, listening to Boomer music may give you the urge to borrow against your house, take exotic vacations, drive leased BMWs, live in a McMansion, not save for your retirement, and blame Millenials for today’s problems.
Try to resist those urges.
Goddammit. Jim Croce. My “J” key is sticking.
Note to self: quit watching porn.
God bless and keep George Carlin — he is sorely missed! I believe George will be one of the few social commentators who will still be famous a couple of hundred years from now.
Now that we have everything else. We are going after your rich women. Why should i have to worry about retirement. Thye love sexy balding boomers. We have great goverment retirement that will last their liftime too.
George Carlin became a has-been before he made those remarks. He was pretty pitiful for a long while later on. He also got his start on SNL, which was staffed with boomers. If he really said that, he gets a punch from me. He was a major druggie by he way.
