I mean their NLCS rotation has a combined payroll of 107 million this year.

That's not feasible for all but 2 or 3 teams.

Dodgers winning is probably why there's gonna be a lockout in 27 or an absolute cap teams have to work with. It's insane they can just buy whoever they want at anytime.
 
We Boomers did have some pretty good music (but Top 40 was pretty bad for the most part). Some painful clothing trends and the body of cinema was pretty mediocre except for some obvious classics.

Are boomers responsible for 80s music and movies? If so, I love boomers. I love all 80s music and I could watch those corny 80s movies till I die over new ones

If by corny 80s movies you mean The Breakfast Club, Back to the Future, Rambo II, Sudden Impact, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, The Terminator, Pale Rider, and Trading Places… then yep!
But if you mean Sixteen Candles and Pretty in Pink… well yeah- fair point- count me in.

That's alright. My view--looking both forward and back--is that each generation has its gifts and challenges. I've reached the age where I am a relic with those I work with, but it keeps me aware of the challenges that the generations that have followed mine are facing.

Boomers are mostly 1960s and 1970s music, but a lot of the 1980s movies were written by Boomers and starred X-ers.

Boomers on coke were still big part of directing the culture in 80s.

The 90s was more about their nostalgia.

I have to say that I had a relatively short tolerance for the Gen-X nostalgia that seems to be lingering on just as badly.

Please stop making bad versions of stuff I loved 30 years ago. I actually don't need to watch something exactly like what I used to like.

True on the coke aspect. It's funny. I don't think I can name a Taylor Swift song other that "Shake It" but I enjoyed most music pre-2000 (and some things produced since but I don't listen to it much). I was nearing and into my 40s in the 1990s and I loved a lot of the new stuff that came out in that era. You're right there was a "Back to the 50's" craze (that's still here though much more narrow in scope).

For younger members of the forum, Rap was actually initiated by Boomer African-Americans (The Sugar Hill Gang, Kurtis Blow, Grandmaster Flash) before groups like N.W.A. and others took it to another level and brought it into the mainstream.
