so... dick squid?

Yeah. I guess the prosecutors office always dicks you over in Hakodate

He doesn't really. It's more about Austrian kitsch.

The deers remind me a bit of Laibach, who also used them in some of their videos with a really nazi vibe. Maybe the term that can be employed is Alpine kitsch?

Major difference: Laibach use it ironically.

Really kitsch but Manu Chao did not get it. Too subtle for him I guess.

As member of Generation X, I'm not sure how I feel about this apparent culture war between baby boomers and millennials.

[Eddie Teach]

As a member of generation x who consumes Reddit memes on YouTube, I am quite bored of said conflict.

I'm thinking it might just be another form of tribalism cropping up, and not useful to anyone involved or not involved.

We're already full up on reasons for artificially-classified groups of people to hate on each other.

Yup.

I have no clue what you guys are talking about.  I assume it's not intergenerational conflict about dick squids or Danish conquests.

It's the latest thing for some folks to dismiss any argument by someone who is or appears to be older than them with "ok, boomer".

Meaning being - every problem today is caused by self-righteous, entitled older folks, who easily got good jobs, houses etc. while cheerfully screwing up the environment, and then turn around and classify everyone younger as whiny layabouts; so there is no point in even debating anything with them.

Gotcha

[Valmy]

Oh noes! Not Applebees!

[Eddie Teach]

So really, their beef should be with journalists.

[Malthus]

In that vein:

That's a big part of it - the feeling that "millennials" have been targeted as self-indulgent, whiny layabouts by smug "boomers" for years, so now it's time to turn the tables.

[Tonitrus]

Or it's just the 60's all over again...

Never trust anyone over 30.

I think that's a bit serious and 90% of it is humour.

But part of it is as that article says all of the things Millenials are killing in that photo  (https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/millennials-are-killing), plus the whole "snowflake" thing. And I think there's an element of the dynamic of Al Gore explaining the internet - ok boomer.
