Boomer Meme Discourse

Boomer memes are not the joke. They're the source material. Artifacts from a time when minions meant wisdom and Facebook was gospel.

Boomer version: "College was $400/year. Work harder."

Our take: "You worked at RadioShack and bought a 3-bedroom. I deliver tacos by drone."

Boomer version: "Stop eating avocado toast."

Our take: "We sold our avocado toast for rent money. Still short."
