I have the impression that Gen Z (my Gen) would be even worst than boomers and millenials combined.

True, and it's also a myth that the Boomers were all hippies. Most of them were not old enough, even had they wanted to be!Baby boomers are all over 50, nobody in there 30s was born during the baby boom

"30-Year-Old Boomer is a character spread on 4chan mocking older millennials who enjoy things that are considered to be out of touch with younger millennials, particularly in regards to video games. The phrase generally appears in a greentext story based on a snowclone reading "that 30 year old boomer who X," accompanied by a specific Brainlet Wojak variation."

I don't want to sound contrarian but I never heard this ^ said once!Okay Boomer is the new "don't trust anyone over 30" that the Baby Boomers used to spout off back in the Hippie Era. Why would young people want to repeat their grandparents mistake?
I've just taken the trouble to look it up and it turns out that some Jewish Commie called Jack Weinberg once said it during an interview with a reporter. As with all cool-sounding clichés, it enjoyed a bit of short-term popularity with rebellious youngsters but never became widespread and was used primarily by the press to ridicule Weinberg and his silly little movement.
It’s unfortunate that the term 'Boomer' has now become a put-down. I don’t think that intergenerational sniping is helpful to whatever ‘cause’ we’re striving for but I’d say there’s a lot more of this around now than there ever was back in the 60’s and 70’s. I believe that anti-Boomer sentiment is being whipped up on the www today by those with a ‘divide and rule’ agenda. It’s only a quite recent phenomenon and if you look more deeply into this you’ll see what I mean.
