Not meeting up with friends at a loud venue, I like to talk to them not try to shout over the music.

Alcohol is toxic, carcinogenic garbage and we'd be noticeably better off if everyone voluntarily stopped drinking it.
Anecdotally, this is a position I've seen held more often by young people than by boomers. Not sure what the statistics are exactly, but regardless it would be nice to see a cultural shift away from alcohol.
I hold this opinion because I've watched family die from alcoholism, and I myself am a recovering alcoholic. It's a miserable way to go.
I think that's a more modern opinion. Maybe the religious boomers want tight legal controls on alcohol but the youth today are more into weed than alcohol from my experience.

- The internet was way better before it became a giant shopping mall.
- Those cars that don't have the flecks in the paint look like children's toys.
Then, I have a couple that pre-date even boomers by many years π :
- Handkerchiefs kick the shit out of paper tissues.
- Cars have made the world a worse place.
Basically any opinion of the modern Internet I give.
I'm a certified computer expert, but I sound like a Luddite when it comes to anything mainstream.
let me see:
- physical media is Just Better (cds, game cards, etc.)
- the Internet is a technological dumpster fire
- devices are too "smart" nowadays

I use an iPod and physical media for most of my music
I do not like comic book movies.
I quite liked them at first but how many do we need? It's become so over saturated and I've long burned out of the genre.

I know this opinion is wildly unpopular, but I think pirating is unethical. If you canβt afford something, or you disagree with spending money for it, then fine. Donβt watch that show/listen to that song/play that game. But the people who make things deserve to get paid. Itβs not right to refuse to pay for something while also consuming that content. Many of the justifications for pirating just feel like entitlement to me.

Google Docs Editors is inferior to any office productuvity suite, and it's overused in the professional world.

As a person who works in tech and is an early adopter for almost every new gizmo out there, I feel that we were better off back in the day when stuff was all analog and things were done manually.
Sure it was inconvenient, but it made us experience the world more and actually interacted with real people. I have crappy social skills and I have seen the change in myself over the years. I get anxious when my phone rings now, as opposed to being excited back in the day.

Majority of the music today is just plain trash. I can't even bring myself to listen to these tracks
