Bro that's literally the whole point of the term. Boomers, millennials, silent generation, best generation, zoomers they're all just words for generations of people. It just so happens that boomers have gotten the reputation for being the things you aren't happy with being labeled as (and that's generally what I see regardless of if it's true). Millennials have the reputation of being extremely left leaning and broke as fuck.

So then you're saying it's OK to use it in a derogatory manner but the other stuff is not, just want to be clear

Barnabas makes a good point. The derogatory form of the word Boomer has come to run against a lot of the ideals that it's meant to run counter to.

I think part of the problem is that, in broad strokes, the perception of older generations is racist, misogynistic, and the rest. That's not to say it's true; broad strokes. Unfortunately, there isn't a better term to take its place yet. Put more plainly "Ok, Asshole" just doesn't have the same effect in calling attention to behavior.

The line is when you're talking about a protected class of people, which "boomers" are not.

Age discrimination is in most cases tho.

There isn't an eyerolling gif big enough. The term "boomer" is not age discrimination on its own.

The Age Discrimination in Employment Act
§ § 621-634), is the primary federal law that prohibits employers from discriminating against employees and applicants who are at least 40 years old based on age. ... It also applies to state governments, although their employees cannot sue them directly for age discrimination.
