Impact Font. Minions. Allusions to "better times" before the internet, when people spent their time rolling in mud instead of "rotting their brains." Hateful or crazed "memes" that spew pseudoscience and tear people down. Where can you find all of this great stuff? Why, on a boomer's Facebook page, of course.
While boomer-hating has become quite boring, there's no denying that some older people use the internet in a way that's simultaneously toxic, corny, and hilarious. And though we appreciate the cringe at face value, there's a Twitter account that takes that entertaining trash and mines it into some serious content gold. @NoContextBoomers (aka Cropped Boomer Images) artfully crops those grainy memes your Aunt Linda shares in the family group chat and turns them into eerie, cursed, and weirdly funny gems that get an awful lot of attention on Twitter. It's a genius way of repurposing tired kinds of posts into content that "extremely online" senses of humor can appreciate. We've put together some of their latest efforts, but we dare you to look to your family's social media accounts and try it yourself. The results are often hysterical.
