Who's more tiresome than a baby boomer?

Except for the anti-capitalist stuff, who could disagree with this?

You weren't the first teenagers, but you grabbed hold of the concept like you were. You spent the '60s changing the world, but apparently weren't all that effective. Your antiwar protests took six years to end Vietnam, and it was a boomer president who sent us to Iraq...[and Somalia, and Kosovo, and Serbia, and Haiti, etc.]

Now you're getting old, and it's tragic. This has never happened to anyone before in the history of humanity. That must be why my Newsweek magazine now has a regular installment called "The Boomer Files," which last week took up 10 pages on the way boomers are staying fit in their dotage.

That didn't compare with The New York Times, which devoted its entire May 6 magazine to "The New Middle Ages," with such essential topics as boomer babes and aging sex...

I suppose that "The Greatest Generation" could be considere more irritating, but to be sure, it has been Boomers who have popularized all the nonsense around worhipping that generation of compliant socialists and Roosevelt groupies.
