Okay boomer was an insult for the baby boomer generation, now it’s being used for anyone older. Both are acceptable.

Yeah it was originally shit like “you sound like a 60 year old trump supporter who hasn’t gotten with the times”. It was “I’m not going to bother fighting with you, so I’m going to treat you like the uncle i only deal with on thanksgiving”

Just before okay boomer caught in "shut up boomer" was a bit of a thing.

Ah, so it means anyone who you disagree with who happens to be a few years older than you... So it's pointless?

No they don't have to be older. If I had a friend who was a year older than me and I said "battle passes, looter shooters, and tik tok are dumb" he could call me a total boomer.

It's about someone harnessing an older perspective.

Sounds like it's just become a synonym for a curmudgeon.
