Don't be so dismissive. This kind of humour is an acquired taste. It's actually an official subgenre of funny cartoons called "un"-funnjy cartoons

If you read my previous comment I was being helpful not dismissive.

Quite right, i should stop scrolling Lemmy and go to sleep.
Thank you for reminding me SatansMaggotyCumFart, this is why you're my favourite grandchild -
I think I remember this clip art pack from the late 90s.

The Boomers were born in the aftermath of World War II.
I'd say that the stuff that synthwave references, 1980s video games and music, is really more the province of Generation X. Like, the Boomers were around, but not really growing up with it.
If we use the division here, 1965 was the first year that gets plopped into the Gen X bucket.
Outrun came out in 1986.
The youngest a Boomer could have been -- if they played Outrun immediately at release and were born in the final year of the cohort -- would have been 22.
An older Boomer, again, using that division, would have been 42. I think that that's probably past the age where people start to fix set musical preferences and such.

Songs that came out decades earlier are now, on average, most popular among men who were 14 when they were first released. The most important period for men in forming their adult tastes were the ages 13 to 16.
What about women? On average, their favorite songs came out when they were 13. The most important period for women were the ages 11 to 14.
The Boomers might have been involved with the production of this, but I think that the consumption of and preference for 1980s cultural stuff is really the GenXers.
The Boomers were more the hippie era, the late 1960s and early 1970s.

The boomer thing isn't the synthwave, it's the OP comic

Yeah, I know that that's what the poster is referencing, but I'm saying that the image meme itself is kinda mixing generations.
Like, if one wanted to do a boomer-themed meme, it'd probably be using 1970s-themed stuff. Organic, bubbly typefaces, flat, earthtone areas, something like that.
The fluorescents and stuff is gonna be late for them.

I kinda prefer it though, it's like gen X taunting boomer.
