Tbf, streamers, kids etc constantly call people in their thirties boomer.

I feel like it's becoming a word describing people that have passed their prime (~35+ yo).

Yes, I'm fully aware that the word initially described people that were born during the baby boomer years (~1950) and that the people that are currently 35yo are millennials.

I am 35 and I was called a boomer by some youngling colleagues. I laughed like a true boomer full of sneer that those younglings are all a bunch of lazy losers that will not amount to anything as great as me all their life. I am pretty sure the generation before me thought the same and so on. It is great!
