    Someday kids will understand when the baby boomers were actually born.

    Or, I guess OP is a middle-aged person complaining about his elderly parents being on a phone app.

      I mean, I’m only 30 and my parents are boomers. They weren’t even that old when they had me. - I’d imagine there’s plenty of early-20’s kids running around with boomer parents.

        Yeah, I’m in my early twenties and my mom is in her sixties. A friend of mine is in her mid twenties and her parents are both in their sixties, too. Some people wait longer to have kids for various reasons. Luckily, my mom barely knows how to open Chrome, so at least I don’t have to worry about her getting addicted to TikTok lmao.

      elderly is a bit harsh referring to people in their 60’s.

      I know a lot of boomers (yes, baby boomers) who keep talking about tiktok.
