Breakdancing and skateboarding are ruining the Olympics for Baby Boomers, apparently

The Olympics has been a tradition since 800 years before Buddha was born — or Jesus if you wish, or even Seneca — but this year it has been officially ruined, the Baby Boomers of Australia can report.

Yup, new data from YouGov shows that the introduction of new fangled sports like skateboarding, surfing, sport climbing, and now (gasp!) breakdancing, is turning that generation off the Olympic Games this year.

Of the different generational groups, Gen X is most likely to watch, with 65% of Aussies planning to tune in (either that, or they’ll be too indifferent to turn the tele off), while Boomers are the least likely, with just 56% saying they are likely to watch.
