has a historical context and defines a generation, the phrase"Ok boomer" has become an insult in the past weeks. It even became the subject of aLonsberry's argument that the phrase is ageist apparently comes from the fact that it is aimed at older people who complain about younger people and trends, or comment on problems that will be left for younger generations to solve.
Gen Z and some millennials have sometimes been referred to as"snowflakes" by older generations. The term implies that members of these generations are soft and sensitive. It's also a term some conservatives use to refer to liberals. And a new term has arisen in retaliation against Gen Z: Peter Pans. It refers to members of a younger generation who, the baby boomers claim, don't want to grow up.
The phrase"Ok boomer" is also heavily in play on Twitter. Search for the phrase and you will find a handful of different uses. Some slam the boomer generation for its opinions and decisions about things like climate change, while others poke fun at the boomers for reacting dramatically to the phrase.
Can we call him by his name, Bob Lonsberry, instead of “that guy” or “that radio host?” I really feel like everyone should know exactly who he is for this horrendously off-the-mark statement. Immortalize his ignorance in textbooks.
These Boomers have lost their goddamn minds, I see!
Being a 'Boomer' myself, I have a message for Lonsberry: 'Suck it up, Boomercup'.
okboomer
😂
Nah. That’s a false equivalency.
If you can say 'boomer' but not the n-word, boomer is not the n-word of ageism. FFS.
I'm screaming. LMAO
ok boomer
Who cares? Seriously we have far more to be worried about than age labels. No matter our ages we need to unite against the divide the old man in the White House is feeding...
Sounds like boomer bullshit
LITERALLY the media these days is just nonstop 'reporting' on Tweets and reactions to them
😂😂😂
