OK Boomer.
One reason why the OK, Boomer thing works so well is that so many Boomers were treated like the center of the universe following WWII.
That why so many of the spoiled brats can't set aside their instant gratification for the sake of future generations, or understand that crapping on minority groups or other nations has consequences.
It definitely is fun to yank on the chain of these spoiled brats.
OK, Boomer.
~2010: Older generation starts regularly using "Millenial" as a derogatory term for a younger generation. The "Millenials" mostly accept this as a rite of passage, without much complaint.
2012 - 2018: Older generation doubles down on "Millennial", starts blaming them for everything. Millenials begin to grumble; older generation calls them "snowflakes" for complaining.
2019: Younger generation comes up with "OK Boomer". Older generation - the professed non-snowflakes - completely lose their shit.
Thing.
Of.
Beauty.

Unless you have nothing else to do, or it's actually hitting a personal feels, why over-analyze something easily dismissed? We have to make sure the hypocrisy of the anti-PC crowd screaming bloody murder over a term is exposed. (And then rammed down their throats.)

No, it's the gist of the "insult."
Which was more of a quirky, snappy comeback until the Boomers and associated oldies actually got offended by it, like...wait for it..."snowflakes."

You're really thinking way too much about this, Chilly.
Relax. Stop stressing over this thread and go pop a beer!
