Boomer bullshit
Boomers are annoying, but not in the way you think. This is the generation that did it all: from Playschool to The Fall, from Do The Right Thing to Ziggy Stardust, they blew it up and smashed the pieces back into all the right places. They also compiled a reigning cultural canon that has largely resisted reappraisal; let’s call it the altar of Q Magazine. Half a century after the beginning of the Boomer-culture revolution, it’s time to look up at their idols and ask: were you bullshit all along?
