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).
Not really anymore. Boomer is just a generic term for old people standing in the way of progress now.
And the old people right now ARE the baby boomers. Again, same generation.

That’s because people are stupid. I’ve been called a boomer and I’m millineal.

Me too, buddy. It happens to the best of us.
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.
I’m not sure how that’s relevant to the conversation.
Calling them boomers insults boomers.
That’s still not relevant to the discussion of whether or not the term Boomer is only used for baby boomers.
