18 Stars Who Actually Win The Hearts Of Boomers, But Failed To Impress Gen Z'ers And Millennials
Celebrities in the previous generation have had gigantic numbers of supporters, who are considered “boomers”. Several famous singers such as The Beatles, Elvis Presley, etc… or actors like Leonardo DiCaprio, and Gwyneth Paltrow make audiences go crazy because of their looks and talents whenever they were on screen or on stage. If you watch some videos of their previous time, you can feel the incredibly boisterous ambiance whenever they show up.

They found previous stars having nothing special, and even unable to hold up a candle to today's famous singers, actors, or models. Although their talents and attractiveness are undeniable, yet somehow they’re failed to impress many current young audiences.
In this post, we point out 19 celebrities who are everything for boomers, but nothing for gen-z. Scroll down to check out, and share with us your opinions.

Gen Z may hear a lot of stories from their parents about how The Beatles was loved in their generation. But the band seems not to attract this young audience in the current generation at all.#2 Justin Timberlake

Justin Timberlake was at the center of attention for being a star in a boyband in the 90s. But after the disbandment, Justin’s solo career was not so impressive. In particular, gen Z now just knows about him for his notorious moment with Janet Jackson at Super Bowl.#3 Elon Musk

Elon Musk is a sheer genius for the previous generation. But audiences in this generation have major doubts about his moral compass, and his current Twitter drama hasn't helped.#4 Tom Cruise

Tom Cruise is so admirable for the boomers. But many audiences today don’t like him for his scandalous relationship with Scientology, and how bad it was to his ex-wife Katie Holmes, and especially his daughter Suri.#5 Terry Crews

Terry Crews is well-known for much of his work, but his recent statements about Black Lives Matter have raised more than a few eyebrows.#6 Roseanne Barr

While Gen Z can look over Roseanne's racist remarks and political leanings, Boomers remember her as a pioneering female comic and defender of the blue-collar community.#7 Matt Damon

Although Matt Damon eventually provided an explanation for his remarks, the younger generation isn't interested in hearing it. Matt Damon recently stopped using a slur against the LGBTQ+ community following a conversation with his daughter.#8 Sharon Osbourne

It has been widely reported that Ozzy Osbourne's other half acted inappropriately behind the scenes of a number of projects, in addition to her association with Piers Morgan and her problems with Sheryl Underwood while she was a Talk show host.#9 Charlie Sheen

While Charlie Sheen continues to win over Boomers with his acting skills, Gen Zers prefer to refer to him as the Tiger Blood guy.#10 Gwyneth Paltrow

Older generations who watched Gwyneth Paltrow grow up as one of Hollywood's sweethearts actually admire her, but Gen Z is sick of her and the vaginal candles.#11 Bill Murray

Although Bill Murray is widely adored, more individuals are now criticizing him for unethical activities in his work life.#12 Ellen DeGeneres

The charges of workplace abuse against Ellen unleashed a torrent of information that the once-adored comic was at best rude and at worst openly abusive.#13 Jeff Goldblum

Although Jeff Goldblum once attained zaddy status, he has since made some dubious remarks regarding Islam and stated that he would be open to collaborating with Woody Allen once more.#14 Sarah Silverman

Sarah Silverman's comedic skills keep her in the good graces of many Boomers (though some may object), but she's made her thoughts about Gen Z known... and the feeling appears mutual.#15 Elvis Presley

Aside from Elvis' musical abilities, Gen Z is strongly opposed to a 24-year-old guy falling for a 14-year-old girl.#16 Diane Sawyer

Diane Sawyer experienced outrage from a generation that may not have been as familiar with her work otherwise when her 2003 Britney Spears interview emerged.#17 Joss Whedon

Joss Whedon has contributed to a plethora of hugely popular movies over his career, including Buffy, The Vampire Slayer, and Avengers. But as claims of harsh work settings surfaced, he lost his fame.#18 Leonardo DiCaprio

Although everybody can’t stand loving his look as well as his roles, including Jack in Titanic, his love stories, in reality, make gen Z dislike him a fair bit.Share this article
