A very dismissive and tired catchphrase only a year old used on social media with memes by the unsocial and smartphone-addicted Generation Z that have no interest in associating with or listening to old people (over 40) or how things used to be, even though todayโs Boomers are all between 60 and 80 today. The phrase has been a success at offending older folks on social media wanting their voices heard and respect.
Boomer: When I was growing up, we were outside all day. We drank out of the water hose, rode our bikes all over the neighborhood, and didnโt come home until the street lights came on.
Zโer: OK Boomer!
The catch phrase of 2019 used by millennial's. This phrase is based in ignorance due to the fact that baby boomers are in their later 60's and mid 70's and typically do not use social media. It is used to make an effort to show a fact to be a non fact under a delusional though process. Only an ignorant potato would think a 70 year old is on reddit or any other social media when most can barely use a flip phone, much less a smart phone.
Gen X says: Punk rock started in the 80's as an aggressive outlet for people. The modern context of punk is to make a statement everyone is misogynistic and against females and trans or LGBTQ. This in fact is not true.
Ignorant potato: ok boomer
The above example shows that the person using ok boomer has no biological clue what a boomer is outside of some regurgitated timeline definition that has been debunked. Boomers are a product of returning vets or born post WWII. Considering those giving birth were in their 20's to 30's in 1941 through 1946 a boomer is of that generation where mom and dad had them in their prime biological time. Anyone born to these folks is biologically Generation X, the generation that came up and was given technology advances at a rapid rate. Gen X is now in their mid 50's and 40's. Y is in their 30's, millennial's, the few self thinking internet saavy single mom havin ignorant potatoes who use such phraseology in their late 20's, and Z those magnificent bastards, are now entering their 20's. Z is teh generation that for some reason has found renewed patriotism, loves guns, and loves to attack socialists and communist snowflake millennial's. Watching these smarter, faster little killers tear up millennial's is pure entertainment as they debunk millennial bullshit.

When stupid kids can't think of anything better to say because they realize they are wrong.
Older person: In my opinion.. (whatever it is).
Dumb kid: Ok boomer. (Darn I'm wrong)

Younger generations like Gen Z and Millenials have given up trying to explain to older generations (usually Baby Boomers) that we are not all lazy, entitled, uneducated and sensitive as there is absolutely nothing you can do to change their opinion. โOk Boomerโ was created as an easy way out of a conversation instead of of explaining something they wonโt listen to over and over again.
Boomers also now believe that this term is a โslurโ and equivalent to the n-word. Which it is not.
Boomers: these younger generations are so depended on technology. Theyโre so lazy and too sensitive!!! Back in MY day things were so much better.
Millenials/Gen Z: ok boomer.
Boomers: AHHHHH!!!! THAT IS EXTREMELY DISRESPECTFUL AND OFFENSIVE!!! HOW DARE YOU!!!

An Ad hominem catch line used by younger people to end an argument with an older person. Its no different from calling someone a bigot for supporting conservative policies. Sure boomers are wrong about alot of things. But this fallacious tactic doesn't make millenials or gen z kids any better. Nor intelligent.
Saying ok boomer doesnt make you smart or win the argument. It makes you look lazy. Shit like this is why boomers think we are lazy.

Youโre old and Iโm young, and Iโd rather insult you than explain why I disagree.
OK boomer, I donโt have time to answer your dumb shit answer.
