Uncool boomers be like: "It's the damn phones", when they've created cities where 2+ tons of metal can freely roam around wherever they like. They've created cities where kids cannot go anywhere on their own without being run over by these said metal beasts.
But ofc uncle Kevin, "It's dem damn phones. Can you at least look at me instead of scrolling through Facebook when I'm talking to you?"
Is it the boomers this time? I remember millennials thinking that about zoomers and now they've grown up, zoomers have been saying it about Gen Alpha calling them iPad babys
