"Okay, Boomer." If you haven’t heard the catch-all put-down millennials and Gen Z use to condescendingly burn baby boomers who made their lives much worse - we don't know where you've been. It got so out of hand at one point that many employers were afraid that it might disrupt the work environment.

Never mind, then, because in a natural course of events, with the youngest millennial being in their late 20s, Gen Z is already plotting how the meme will be passed on to the avocado toast generation. "It’s the year 2050 and the term 'ok, millennial' is trending. What are the reasons the young generation is using it?" one user pondered in the Ask Reddit community. From vintage cartoon jokes to early Internet days, it's pretty clear that millennials should start warming up to the idea that redemption day is coming.

According to Know Your Meme, the Encyclopedia Britannica of memes, "OK Boomer" is a "dismissive retort often used to disregard or mock Baby Boomers and those who are perceived as old-fashioned and being out-of-touch."

The most prominent example of this comes from Chlöe Swarbrick, a New Zealand parliamentarian. After making a statement asserting that the average age of parliamentarians stood at 49 years old, her Gen X counterpart Todd Muller interrupted her, prompting Swarbrick to fire back with a well-timed "OK Boomer" retort.

    With a significant presence, Generation Z encompasses approximately 26% of the global population, which translates to a staggering 2 billion individuals. Notably, Generation Z stands out as one of the most racially and ethnically diverse generations within the United States, with figures such as Greta Thunberg and Earthling Ed, reflecting a rich tapestry of backgrounds and cultures.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    At its core, the "OK Boomer" meme originated as a concise way for Generation Z to resist claims of being an overly sensitive or incapable generation in the face of adversity. However, it has since evolved into a versatile response directed primarily at older generations, particularly Boomers, when they express opinions that are deemed presumptuous, patronizing, or politically incorrect. It serves as a retort to counter such viewpoints and challenge the perceived condescension inherent in them. As the New York Times called it: "It’s the digital equivalent of an eye roll."

    The problem is very real. If we submit control more and more to AI, we need a whole new subset of ethics. How does an AI solve an ethical dilemma? And, more important: is is actually responsible for its actions? If we decide to answer the last question with "yes", then we would have to recognize them as a - very limited - form of being, so the question of AI rights is very much on.

    As expected, Generation Z has turned their attention towards Millennials, or Generation Y, who were previously believed to share common grievances. However, according to social researcher Claire Madden, Millennials find themselves in an interesting position. “Millennials still feel young and feel a sense of relevance, but they’re also a bridging generation. What might be surprising to Gen Y is how quickly [they] are being superseded by the more tech-savvy generation who are emerging and entering the workforce and redefining the way we socialize, work, play and build relationships. That suddenly makes Millennials feel older than [they] perhaps realized,” she explained to The Sydney Morning Herald.

    But is the bashing of millennials justified? Has the generational torch been dropped? It is the boomers, however, who have been accused of engaging in "generational plunder" by exploiting the nation's housing economy, consistently reducing their own tax burdens, funding wars through deficits, neglecting the urgency of climate change, overseeing the demise of America's manufacturing industry, and ultimately leaving future generations to grapple with the consequences of their actions.

    As Bruce Gibney, author of 'A Generation of Sociopaths: How the Baby Boomers Betrayed America', argues: "This is a generation that is dominated by feelings, not by facts. The irony is that boomers criticize millennials for being 'snowflakes', for being too driven by feelings. But the boomers are the first big feelings generation. They’re highly motivated by feelings and not persuaded by facts. And you can see this in their policies."

    Speaking with my 21-year-old journalist colleague Daniel Fauzi from the UK about the prevalence of the 'OK Boomer' meme, they believe "it mostly comes from younger generations rejecting the boomer’s values, making the traditions they care about seem trivial." While Fauzi personally hasn't had an opportunity to use the meme in real-life interactions, they observed many of their peers taking advantage of it when the situation called for it.

    "There’s definitely something to be said about Gen Z differentiating themselves from millennials by doing so - I guess every generation wants to be doing things differently," Fauzi said to Bored Panda in a message.

    Jamie Cohen, a digital media culture expert who studies memes academically, shares the same sentiment with Fauzi. "Millennials deserve some of the pushback because Gen Z is so distinct from them. Millennials lived through 9/11 and a bunch of recessions, but Gen Z had a pandemic, 'Zoom school', school violence, and the wasting away of social media just as they're growing up. The last thing they want to hear is some Millennial telling them what to do or how great the '90s were," he told Bored Panda in an email.

    According to Cohen, the notable influence of the 'OK Boomer' meme, to the extent of inspiring its contemporary iterations, can be attributed to its collective nature. "It's become quite clear that views held by boomers are unaligned with their younger generation counterparts as the boomers are likely the last generation (ever) to benefit from the capitalist growth of the industrial revolution," he explained. "So a good and effective retort to their outdated ideas is a simple, 'OK Boomer' which even sounds sarcastic."

    Millennials, while solemnly swearing that they are not going to repeat the mistakes of Boomers and Gen X, they will make them anyway.

    Millennials will always complain about the games they play, just like they did with Minecraft and do with Fortnite even this early.

    Millennials will complain about them for using VR/AR goggles all the time.

    Millennials will think it's not fair for everyone to get Universal Basic Income after the automation revolution since they had to go to college yet they still hardly got any job.

    Millennials will look down on the next generation because they can't hand write since pencils and pens ale long obsolete.

    The way business model is going now is "subscription". I've no issues (and actually welcome) various kinds of improvements be that via mechanization of body elements or gene lottery, but you most likely wont own any of these. You will pay "small fee" for implants and your gene sequences will be owned by some nameless corporation. Therefor I totally imagine debt collectors ripping off your arms or lawyers restricting your reproduction rights in order to "protect" intellectual property baked into your genes.

    The interesting twist on this is that in Star Trek, when they "beamed down", they were actually being k*lled and a completely new copy created. They just though they were "still that person".

    Millennials will probably call future generations fence-sitters for not constantly boasting their political views online or in general. The polarized political climate in the US will get old eventually and people will want to unify again and not judge each others character by labels.

    “Back in our day, we had to fight to be called our preferred pronouns! You kids should be thanking us for rioting in the streets so you could be accepted by society!”

    “Ok Millennial.”

    Millennials still eating meat. Advocating p*rno. Using the word p*rn to describe normal everyday things, like calling schoolbooks learn p*rn. Being easily offended. Destroying the world by constantly buying new phones and gadgets, buying the cheapest products even if they were flown in from the other side of the planet.
    Basically being obnoxious, lazy, self important, and self centered. Everything they blame "boomers" for. A millennial is just a boomer that was born too late.

    Young People Are Starting To Say "OK, Millennial" And Here Are 30 Examples I feel like in the best timeline our kids are gonna say 'ok millennial' when we're old and can't shake being hyper suspicious, and going off the handle about having to rise up and fight for every damn thing, even though it's not necessary anymore.

    Old me: 'Don't trust your boss! They're always trying to screw you. Keep meticulous paper trails and if they ask you to do something make sure you're keeping track of any overtime and for the love of god DON'T EVER SIGN ANYTHING...'

    ... 'ok millennial'.

    This applies moreso to gen z, but can apply millennials as well. Back when baby boomers when young they were the students fighting for the civil rights movement, and being drafted into Vietnam and protesting the war. Because of this they were seen as very self centered and full of themselves since they didn’t listen to older generations. However because of Vietnam and to a lesser extent Nixon, they became very wary of change and especially government power, which led them to become the stereotypical boomers we think of today. Sound familiar? Millennials were also fighting on the streets for civil rights and are famous for being portrayed as self centered. They are also probably about to experience a presidential impeachment. I’m afraid that we might end up going down the same road as those before us, and that really scares me. We’ll be stuck in the 2010’s forever and not able to adapt to whatever new problems appear in the future.
