They were also originally called the ‘Me’ generation… and that’s accurate. They’re broadly spoiled brats, malignant narcissists. To the extent that this was surprising and unexpected, difficult to comprehend by the Silent generation and older.
Try telling a Boomer they’re actually wrong about literally anything.
That’s rude, to them. You’re insulting them.
Because that would mean they aren’t already perfect.
They’ll never thank you for correcting an error.
They don’t want to learn and grow, they want to be told how wonderful and smart they are and always have been.
The Boomers of the US will be literally reviled by future political historians… there’s no way to be objective about what has happened, what they have done, how they squandered their immense privilege… and were so immensely arrogant while doing so… no way to comprehend it, and not be digusted.
Closest I’ll ever get to being in WW2 was playing Battlefield 1942 as a kid… and… I still can’t make it through Saving Private Ryan without crying.
I’ve since been through traumatic shit in my own life, become a cynical bastard… but goddamnit, I still have a heart, I still feel the pain of others.
Of course I am generalizing, there are non shitty boomers… but most of them might as well be aliens in skin suits, I can describe and like academically attempt to understand them… but I am not like them, I cannot put myself into their headspace.

What in the fuck?
The mod apparently deleted all of your comments in this chain, but not mine?
