Boomer was definitely a term in the 80s at least... I was there, Gandalf.

Oh “baby boomer” has been a term for a long time. Probably since history and social sciences started categorizing generations. My point is young people on the internet were not using it as a blanket term for anyone over 30 or 40 years old.

No they were using it to denote a generation of people born after WW2 who have had everything given to them in life and destroyed it afterwards so nobody could benefit from it anymore.

Basically the selfishness of the Me-generation

Yes, that generation is referred to as the baby boomers.
