We might have finally found one thing that all generations have in common, and that is complaining. From Boomers moaning about the younger kids and their iPads to Gen X grumbling they’re the forgotten generation to Millennials making a fuss about how they’re not lazy to Gen Z whining about how hard it is to live in the modern world, they all have something they seem to be dissatisfied with.
Recently, these generations have gathered together on Elon Musk’s Twitter to share the biggest “Boomer Complaints” they can all agree on. We invite you to scroll down and see for yourself the rare occasion when these different age groups are united by their passion for venting online.
While you’re at it, don’t forget to check out a conversation with clinical psychologist and founder of Zen Mind Psychology, Alicia Viforj, who kindly agreed to tell us more about why we complain and how it affects us.

Realistically, it’s probably not possible to decide to never complain ever again, as we need to express our emotions from time to time, both positive and negative. In fact, holding on to feelings harms our mental and physical health. Letting out short bursts of complaining can prevent the stress hormone from building in the organism.
“Remember to complain when it is relevant and necessary to avoid chronic complaining,” says Viforj. Trying to focus on keeping your daily communications positive can improve your mood and overall outlook on life.
