About

Day of the Pillow is a slang term for a hypothetical mass killing event against Baby Boomers carried out through the means of them being smothered with pillows in nursing homes. Coined on 4chan in 2017, the term has been used as a way of expressing a strong dislike for and wishing harm onto members of the Baby Boomer generation. The phrase references the "Day of the Rope," a white supremacist concept for a revolution.

Origin

On July 14th, 2017, in a "Boomer hate thread" posted on 4chan's /pol/^[1] board, an anonymous 4chan user wrote, "Inb4 […] millennials that haven't given grandma the day of the pillow," coining the term (seen below).

On July 24th, 2017, in an a /pol/^[2] thread about social security, an anonymous 4chan user commented, "Boomers can't die enough. Day of the pillow when" (shown below, left). The post garnered multiple positive replies from other users, who laughed at the expression (example^[3] shown below, right).

Spread

In the following years, the phrase saw continued use on 4chan's /pol/,^[4]^[5] also spreading to other boards, used to express strong dislike for Baby Boomers and for wishing harm onto them (examples shown below, left and right). The concept of the Day of the Pillow was eventually defined as Baby Boomers one day getting smothered with pillows by immigrant nurses in nursing homes.

The crimes of the eternal Boomer must be answered for. Their forefathers came from a world made from mud and left it as one of marble. The Greatest Generation endured the great depression and the most horrific world conflict in all history. They lived in abject poverty, suffering and turmoil and from the ruins, left a world of prosperity and abundance. They were bled white to ensure the future security of their people. And how did the Boomer repay their own kin? The Greatest Generation were left to rot in nursing homes whilst the Boomer burned their draft cards and snorted cocaine in a haze of hedonistic corporate materialism. Historically, it was the norm for the children to support the men and women who raised them, but they skirted their communal responsibilites and abandoned their families, community and God to chase fast cars and momentary material wealth. But of course, the Boomer is a historical anomaly. If it weren't enough to forsake their own fathers, the Boomer has felt it necessary to be the first generation in history to leave their children worse off than than themselves. To come from a world abound of plenty and leaving only debt slavery and a demographic calamity in its wake. We cant let them get away with what they have done. The Boomer will pay for their crimes. We will retake what is ours. We will return back to what made us once great. Community, Brotherhood, God. A man without spirit is no man at all. A nation is its people and we will take back what is ours. The day off the pillow is near.

Anonymous ID:WP1V2egv Thu 01 Feb 2018 02:06:09 No.158785780 Quoted By: >>158786311 >>158786374 >>158786523 >>158775089 The funniest part is that the Boomers created the nursing home. They stuffed their f------ parents into them because of their own pleasure- seeking, and now they are the ones who will be the recipients of the Day of the Pillow by Shaquanda. Previous generations would take care of their own old parents, and those parents would have little desire to waste the family's resources in a vain attempt to live forever.

Starting in 2019, the expression began spreading outside of 4chan, appearing in posts on iFunny,^[6] Reddit^[7] and Twitter.^[8]

On June 7th, 2021, alt-right author Vox Day^[9]^[10] used the phrase in his blog post accusing Baby Boomers, writing, "So, eat, drink, and be merry today, for the Day of the Pillow is coming," and then again a follow-up post on June 18th that year, assisting the spread of the phrase.

On June 15th, 2021, Urban Dictionary^[11] user Littlest Chickenhawk added the definition for the phrase to the site.

FRIDAY, JUNE 18, 2021 Rage, rage, against the dying of the light To everyone's complete surprise, a Boomer is upset about my open contempt for his g-g-generation. And he's particularly upset about The Day of the Pillow: For the second time in a week, a very popular Blogger who's name I won't mention and to who's site I won't link to, has come out with posts trashing the Boomer Generation. Reading through the comments, there seems to be a slathering wish for what they are calling "The Day Of The Pillow", where they feel perfectly justified by their perception of Boomer self centeredness and greed, to suffocate us in our beds when we get old and feeble enough to be unable to defend ourselves. Both posts are full of vitriol pointed towards the Boomer Generation but upon closer inspection, I see a lot of anger issues from Gen X'ers who's main self righteous anger seems to be stemming from their common claim that they were "Latch Key Kids". Just so you know, I had that exact same experience growing up but for some reason I haven't figured out how to blame the entire generation of my parents. Funny that. This claim exposes the true reasons for their anger without them apparently being able to see it when I can, from space. They feel abandoned. Poor widdle snowflakes gots the Daddy Issues but can't seem to put 2 and 2 together so hey, lets attack that whole generation because our parents were too busy partying and being self centered to love us, right? You try and tell them hey, you little f------ are all growed up now and are beginning to hold office and take over the joint. If you don't like what The Boomers In Charge are currently doing, then walk away from the Pity Party and f------ do something about it. OH THE HOWLS OF OUTRAGE WHEN YOU POINT THIS OUT! It's more than a little ironic that this Boomer doesn't understand that suffocating Boomers in their beds would be doing something about it. Of course, he's too Boomer to grasp that the Day of the Pillow reference is to Boomers being suffocated by the very immigrants whose entry they celebrated working in the nursing homes that will keep them alive just long enough to make sure they don't leave anything but debt to the succeeding generations.

MONDAY, JUNE 07, 2021 Dear Boomer Dear Boomer, No one, since the literal creation of Man, has accepted "but the Devil made me do it" as an excuse. No one forced you to reject your history, your traditions, your nation, and your ancestors. No one made you neglect your children and your grandchildren. No one forced you to go into debt and eat the seed corn. You did those things. No one did them for you or to you. You were presented with more freedom than nearly any other generation in human history and you freely chose to be wicked. You created the "latchkey children". You failed to pass on a functional society. You failed to pass on the knowledge that your fathers passed on to you. You planted no trees. You strip-mined the economy. You left your wives, and left your husbands, and you shattered your families, simply because no one forcibly stopped you. And if anyone tried to convince you otherwise, you dismissed them as fascists and religious freaks. So don't blame your parents, society, the Jews, Vietnam, the black community, the communists, Kondratiev waves, or anything else. None of your excuses matter and none of them will be accepted by anyone. The more you defend yourself, the more you will be despised by the younger generations and the generations still to come. You're not sexy, you're not cool, and the Beatles will be forgotten about five minutes after the last Boomer dies. Seventy is not the new twenty. You will never be forgiven because you will never repent of your wickedness. So, eat, drink, and be merry today, for the Day of the Pillow is coming. Ok, Boomer?
