"“Ok boomer” has become Generation Z’s endlessly repeated retort to the
problem of older people who just don’t get it, a rallying cry for
millions of fed up kids. Teenagers use it to reply to cringey YouTube
videos, Donald Trump tweets, and basically any person over 30 who says
something condescending about young people — and the issues that matter
to them."

Via Muse, who wrote "I’ve been complaining about the Baby Boom
Generation for some time. Gen Z are digging in their heels because that
generation’s actions and ethos is hitting them hardest."
