You don't hate boomers enough. You think you do, but you don't.

"Boomer" really stopped having any specific meaning a while ago and just became a catchall for "older folks I don't like." Which is a fair demographic to call out regardless, but its diluted the meaning.
It was even a meme a few years back about "that 30 year old boomer feel."
I was going to say the same thing. How many people using the term boomer even know that it refers to the post WWII "baby boom" of the latest 1940s and early 1950s?
Don't even get me started on the term "boomer shooter", which refers to video games like Doom that came out in the 1990s when these folks would have been in their forties and probably not even playing video games like current 40 year olds do because they didn't grow up with them.
Yeah, in that way its deteriorated even further into just "old thing from the prior generation."
I really blame the "okay boomer" girl for kicking the word into complete normie sphere and mainstream discussion, whereas before it was mostly just terminally online usage, and now its completely changed as a term short of just meaning "kinda old."
