We've all noticed the recent trend in this phrase, and the outrage it's caused on the internet. Personally, I think it's a step forward in youth culture, and here's why. If you want to know the reasons; if you're a boomer, or if you're exasperated with a boomer, read this.
In the past we've tried to explain things to boomers: the positives of technology, why we're 'destroying' so many industries, why we're all so depressed, and they've not listened to our logical arguments and evidence based reasoning. So, at this point, we've given up on trying to convince them that we're decent people who are just struggling in the world that they created (ruined). The new response is Ok, Boomer.
Now here's the issue: Boomers are hella sensitive. They don't accept our logic, because more often than not it incriminates them, but they don't like us simply giving up and responding like the children they think we are. Many, many, far too many people from this generation have dubbed the word boomer as a slur, an ageist, disrespectful word 'on par with the n-word'. Boomers, please;
So I'm gonna throw around the word boomer as much as I like, because, like most of my generation, I'm sick and tired of being judged by people for things that affect them in no way; being blamed for things that I didn't do; trying to change things to make the world a better place and always getting blocked. I've had enough of this climate change-denying, economy-ruining, entitled, rude, bossy generation, and in response to any backlash I might get for this standpoint, I have only two words: Ok Boomer.

Curly Hair, What's in There? : Ok Boomer
I'm a part of that in between generation: born in 1998, I'm just too young to be a millennial, and a little old for Gen Z. We're not really sure where we belong but we share the same experiences as both generations. I like this tweet to sum it up:
We're kind of stuck in the middle of the two groups, but we also have the same current mindset: boomers suck.if you were born before 1996 you are a millennial— elise morgan (@crocfanpage) July 3, 2019
if you were born after 2005 you are gen z
if you were born in between then you are an honorary member of the black eyed peas
