The boomer was so sweet and understanding I love her!!!! She has a bomb fashion style damn

[@NouveauEnna]

OK the boomer lady actually did really well! I dont think it was the gen z's style, but it was still a good outfit anyway! The only thing a little off was the bag, it didnt really match but it was still cute :)

[@NinaMarieCovers]

Without the hat & purse it would be a great look

[@meganrosbury3504]

The gen z girl saying boomers are close minded but she was more hesitant in this interaction than the older woman…

[@UmuPadoru]

True, but keep in mind that this video is its own unique case. That boomer lady was absolutely lovely and open-minded in this case

[@perksofbeingcurvy4827]

Also imagine being put in that situation when most of the boomers you see online are against POC and LGBTQ people and usually white supremacist.

[@meganrosbury3504]

@@perksofbeingcurvy4827 I’m not saying all boomers are as wonderful as this woman seems. I’m just saying that if the girl values open mindedness maybe she could work on that in herself

[@cellcreative3540]

@@perksofbeingcurvy4827 Most of the boomers I know online are actually really open minded and pro LGBTQ and really really involved in social issues. It probably just depends on who you personally interact with most. I just found it interesting that Gen Z thought most boomers were closed minded and the boomer was so pro gen z. I'm slightly disappointed in gen Z's perception of what boomers are and how they interact with the world.

[@lovestayskz5746]

@@cellcreative3540 your experience is different from mine as I only met online and offline boomer who are close minded and anti-LGBT so you can't judge other for being sceptical. Maybe she had the same experience as me and now she is a bit hesitant on meeting other boomer.

[@LadyBonnieLass]

It's really disappointing to me that Mel's attitude was considered acceptable to put in the video, when the boomer was so kind and positive. Everyone deserves respect regardless of what generation they come from.

[@bet3640]

She has the same attitude in all the vids she is in. Maybe it’s because I’m a Boomer!!

[@airheadwonder]

@@bet3640 im a millennial... lol hate the terms.. but i feel like genz didnt try to match the boomers style description at all. Just was like shes older keep it basic definitely not a date outfit

I don’t think she was rude fr

[@timeaszabo7191]

I feel like Veronica was so nice and kind and Mei didn't treated her the same way, which is a shame. There is a fine line between competitive and rude, but even if I ignore that, I'd have still prefer Veronica to win.

[@hannahmontana3774]

Definitely think the boomer should have won and that the gen z should have been more kind looking at the clothes

Yeah, she was brutal with some of the comments

The boomer did better 😂 Gen z arrogance is what killed it for her

[@anastasiavplemons6428]

I was unsure of the boomer lady’s choices at first..but then the look really came together! Serving very much Y2K fashion. Really on trend👏🏻👏🏻

[@jessicaoddone]

I don’t care for either outfit but Mel seemed like she was dressing her how she thinks a boomer should look

[@CaylasCapsule]

Idk, the look Mei picked out is a very common going out look in NYC rn. I went out this weekend, and a whole bunch of people were doing the lace bodysuit with loose pants thing. Those pants just needed to be tailored because they were way too long.

[@poetickat7994]

Yea Mei picked out a kinda boring work week outfit in my opinion. Not sure what struck her as date night

[@girlovecupcake]

I prefer Veronica's choice, but I feel the red dress is super distracting in comparison with the other patterns going on. I understand it's supposed to be the statement piece, but with the other items having other loud prints I got kind of distracted/thrown. If it was black or grey (the other options on the site) I feel it would work better. Overall I still prefer hers though!

[@saraphillips3122]

The boomer's outfit seemed more for date night where as the gen z outfit seemed more work appropriate.

[@cas6846]

i think i prefer the outfit veronica picked out tbh!! and she was so cute, wish she actually won!

[@shaddy8723]

I'm guessing most voters were Gen Z since Gen Zs are more likely to watch Buzzfeed.

[@stephanieo3194]

I feel like the younger woman isn't very nice for most of this video. The older woman was always kind and supportive; the other woman could have reciprocated.

[@amytaylor1368]

The younger girl was so judgy… both outfits were so cute though!

Omg Veronica is such a sweetheart :’) Loved this one:)

[@a.c.efever3695]

The genz girl was kinda rude tbh, I felt uncomfy with the way she talked to the boomer lady idk maybe it's just me

[@blancaruthesponda8667]

I think people voted for Mei's outfit selected by Veronica, not for Mei's outfit selection for Veronica

[@Akira-winter]

That must have been what happened cause not even a drunk person in the dark would pick that outfit

[@bella-nina]

the boomers red dress looked GREAT on mei, i feel the accessories didn’t really match the date night dress

[@blancaruthesponda8667]

[@perksofbeingcurvy4827]

[@magalybermudez6979]

Okay so by that logic any boomer in your family deserves the ultimate disrespect.

[@perksofbeingcurvy4827]

Boomers "outdated" when majority of trends are inspired by the 70's these days and other decades 🤪

[@phma192]

Overall I didn't like either but each outfit had at least 1 good piece. Mei's outfit was cuter so Veronica won in my opinion.

[@MaybeMockingbird]

I had to stop watching just because Mei’s attitude is so bad, they faces she made and how she trashed talked everything was obnoxious. If she was going to act like this she shouldn’t have been picked and I’m really disappointed in BuzzFeed for highlighting someone with such a bad attitude. Veronica really tried, her choices were all cute and they all would work as pieces for various other outfits, she was kind and acted like such a hype woman and Mei was just awful

[@gabriellevazquez6618]

I stopped watching too. There was no reason for the attitude and rudeness towards someone she knows nothing about, she went in without an open mind and childlike rudeness.

[@LadyBonnieLass]

I couldn't agree more.

[@QUEERVEEART]

I wouldnt go so far as to call her awful. But wow what an ironic statement for her to say boomers are close minded when SHE was the one being less open than Veronica. Veronica was so much more pleasant to listen to and watch. Mei has some growing up to do probably.

[@ndau300]

I'd like to see gen z and boomers compete to style a millennial to make things more equal.

[@evie1919]

wow, as a gen z person, the gen z girl was SO rude. not even trying to hide her disrespect.

[@ClaudiaGila]

The red outfit looked like she came right out of a Lizzie McGuire episode!

[@QUEERVEEART]

Veronica was so adorable and sweet omg !! Mei was a bit hesitant and its funny she said older people aren’t as open because she seemed less open than Veronica to me. The dress, jacket, shoes, and sunglasses Veronica picked out were so great ! I’m not huge about bucket hats tho. Mei picked out beautiful body suit and pants but i feel its more business casual than a date. Very interesting how they styled each other tho!

[@5musictomyears5]

If you got rid of the denim jacket and hat from Veronica's look I'd totally wear that fit

[@mafaldaalmeida4632]

Same can’t believe people are saying the combination is good 😅 so y2k that burns my eyes

Veronica definitely did a better job. Mei didn't take into account her love of body con or anything tapered.

[@savannahellis8888]

While mei's choice doesn't look good on Veronica, I think her outfit was OVERWHELMINGLY better than Veronica's choice. The dress was good. The shoes were cute. But the jean jacket and hat plus the bag were all really terrible.

[@MileyCyrusMorningSun]

I know we really like the boomer because she's really nice and approachable but that outfit was a mess, nothing really matches, the jacket and the hat clash and she went way overboard with accessories.

They should give them sizing for petite regular or tall. That way sizing isn't part of the judging criteria.

Child of the 70s could mean she grew up in the 70s, even if she was born in the 50s/60s. However, she does look like she could have been born in the 70s.
