What boomers? Gen Z was the first to mostly grow up without a Start button - and even then, the older ones might still remember the PS3/Xbox 360 Controllers.

As explained in the other chains it was a joke about the "my boomer trait is ABC"

Really tired of how quickly people jump down each other throats on this platform

It's a bit of a gamble really

Some will see it as the joke it is some won't

Personally when I see people referring to stuff that obviously isn't a boomer thing as a boomer thing I see it as a joke

Of course I'm old enough to have known someone who remembered his older brother going off to fight in "The Great War" so I might be a bit old.

Gen Z here, I had a ps2, ps3 and psp which all had start and select. I was a child but that's still how I learned it

You're skipping a generation.
But we're used to it, so whatever.

What generation? Gen-Z starts somewhere from the mid-late-1990s and goes to around 2010. The eight console generation, that got rid of the start button came out in 2013. So I would assume that almost all Millennials started playing videogames on a console with a start button, and all Gen Alpha started with options. What other generation would be the cutoff point?
