"OK, Boomer" Is the Ultimate Generation Z Clap-back


Chances are you've seen the phrase all over social media and might be a fan of it. "OK boomer" is a phrase Gen Zer's are using to clap back at older people or people who just don't like change, whether it's about culture or especially on things about politics.



What does "OK boomer" mean?


According to Dictionary.com, "OK boomer" is a viral internet slang phrase used, often humorously or ironically, to call out or dismiss out-of-touch or close-minded opinions associated with the baby boomer generation and older people more generally. 

According to  Know Your Meme, we can trace back the origin of the phrase as early as April 2018 as a hashtag in response to tweets criticizing both Gen Z and Millennials.

In earlier news, New Zealand politician ChlΓΆe Swarbrick even dropped the phrase in response to being heckled during her speech that made the phrase spiked again in popularity through memes. 








What do people think of the term?


Some older people might find it offensive, but let's be honest term is pretty funny. However, LET'S BE CLEAR: the "ok, boomer" clap back is only used for people who are being rude, ignorant, condescending and insulting to the younger generation. It is not aimed to be used otherwise to hurt people's sentiments.











Netizens Slams The Upcoming Animated Movie about Magellan



The story of Ferdinand Magellan and Lapu-Lapu has been part of our history and we Filipinos know how we were conquered by Spain for 333 years. The colonization introduced us to Christianity and many other things that are now part of our culture.

The story is undeniably great for a movie. But when a trailer for an animated movie based on Magellan’s voyage around the world surfaced, Filipino netizens are not happy.

 Watch the trailer below:


ELCANO and MAGELLAN:The First Voyage around the World is an animated film directed by Ángel Alonso that employs a great sense of adventure but might screw real moments in history. 

Basing on the trailer the movie might depict the country’s colonizers as good and seems like they are showing Lapu-Lapu as the villain in the Battle of Mactan. 

A lot of netizens have shared their sentiments about ‘Elcano & Magellan’.





The movie’s release is planned for 2019, to coincide with the 500th anniversary of the start of Elcano and Magellan’s circumnavigation.






Emma Watson Is ‘Self-Partnered’ and Not ‘Single’



While Potterheads have been hoping that Dramione was real IRL with Emma Watson and Tom Felton's being adorable together, Emma is finally shut down the rumors and letting everyone know that she is chill being single.

The actor and activists, prefers to call herself "self-partnered" rather than single as she approaches her 30th birthday in April.

She told British Vogue: “I was like, ‘Why does everyone make such a big fuss about turning 30? This is not a big deal.’

“Cut to 29, and I’m like, ‘Oh my God, I feel so stressed and anxious.’

“And I realise it’s because there is suddenly this bloody influx of subliminal messaging around.

“If you have not built a home, if you do not have a husband, if you do not have a baby, and you are turning 30, and you’re not in some incredibly secure, stable place in your career, or you’re still figuring things out — there’s just this incredible amount of anxiety.”


Watson admits she grew anxious in the lead-up to her 30th birthday.

She added: “I never believed the whole ‘I’m happy single’ spiel. I was like, ‘This is totally spiel.’

“It took me a long time, but I’m very happy (being single). I call it being self-partnered.”



Pixar's “Float” is its first-ever all Filipino animated short film.
