Boom!!
One Day
By definition, baby boomers are people born between 1946 and 1964. They’ve lived through significant historical events like the end of World War II, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the Moon Landing.
However, the term “boomer” took on a different context during the social media era in 2019. It became more of a derisive statement for anyone older who doesn’t share the same beliefs.

The “OK, boomer” catchphrase came as a response from millennials who are tired of hearing older people tell them about how things were in their day. As author Caitlin Fisher pointed out in an interview with NBC News, older folks fail to understand the struggles of millennials who are burdened with student loan debt and rising living costs.
“We’re tired of being told we aren’t allowed to complain,” said Fisher, who wrote The Gaslighting of the Millennial Generation.
