Thanks to meme culture, ‘Boomer’ (short for Baby Boomer) is being used to describe an individual who is old, inflexible, and out-of-touch. Some media personalities have complained that ‘Boomer’ is now a pejorative term used to express contempt for individuals above a certain age. Personally, I think it’s no more offensive than the way ‘Millennial’ was weaponized to describe those who struggled to gain traction after entering the workforce during the most recent financial crisis.
