| Description | A senior official with the AARP, the company formerly known as The American Association of Retired Persons, on Tuesday took an apparent swipe at millennials over the popular, “OK, boomer,” message, arguing that the older generations “actually have the money.”
"OK, millennials. But we're the people that actually have the money,” Myrna Blyth, senior vice president and editorial director of AARP Media, told Axios in an interview in which she addressed the group's success with its digital and print assets.
Blyth's comments led to notable criticism on social media, with many arguing that she seemed to miss why the "OK, Boomer," tagline had become popular. Taylor Lorenz, a New York Times reporter who covers internet culture, tweeted that the "problem" is that older generations "have the money." |
