What boomers? Gen Z was the first to mostly grow up without a Start button - and even then, the older ones might still remember the PS3/Xbox 360 Controllers.

As explained in the other chains it was a joke about the "my boomer trait is ABC"

Really tired of how quickly people jump down each other throats on this platform

Eh, it’s always a gamble if you make a joke or reference to something. Reddit was the same way. Even if it’s well received in general there will be people who don’t get it “correcting” you in the comments. Just gotta keep trucking and trust that your target audience knows what you’re talking about.

I liked your comment fwiw. The whole concept here is sticking with what you know despite it being outdated, which many now understand to be a “boomer” trait regardless of someone’s birth year

It's a bit of a gamble really

Some will see it as the joke it is some won't

Personally when I see people referring to stuff that obviously isn't a boomer thing as a boomer thing I see it as a joke

Of course I'm old enough to have known someone who remembered his older brother going off to fight in "The Great War" so I might be a bit old.

Gen Z here, I had a ps2, ps3 and psp which all had start and select. I was a child but that's still how I learned it

edit: looked it up and my gameboy advance sp and DS were also start/select
