      But the term isn’t only used against baby boomers. It’s basically the same as ‘fogie’ from back in the day. I guarantee you that there are Gen X people who have been called boomer unironically

          That’s because Boomer isn’t generation specific. It gets its name from them, but it’s just another iteration of what kids call old people when they’re being dismissive.

          And really, you’re pulling a Principal Skinner “No, it’s the kids who are wrong,” which is kinda the definition of Boomer.

            Well, I’ll have to agree with that. I’ve been wanting people off my lawn since I was 30 and found myself complaining about “perverts” and “kids need some damn clothes” recently. ( referring to all the pedophiles and skimpy clothing).

        Gen X are worse than baby boomers. They gave us the antivaxx movement.

        Killing future children with climate change was taking too long so they went with preventable diseases.
