OK boomer
OK boomer, also written okay boomer, is a catchphrase and internet meme used to dismiss or mock attitudes typically associated with baby boomers. It drew widespread attention through a November 2019 TikTok video responding to an older man, although it had been coined earlier. The phrase has been used in responses to resistance to technological change, climate change denial, and opposition to younger generations' values. Critics have described it as ageist.
