    No, no, the correct meaning of “boomer” apparently is “anyone older than me that I don’t like”

      Attempting to explain anything meaningful by referencing generational cohorts is a lazy, useless pastime anyway. It has about as much intellectual rigor and explanatory power as astrology or the theory of humours.

      I recently heard some teenager call someone that was Gen Y a “boomer”. IRL.

      Yeah, I actually laughed out loud at that. 🤣
