The set of behaviours and beliefs that boomers gravitate towards when they lose touch with the non-boomer world.
Includes things such as:
- All caps facebook posts and comments that should be private messages
- Hating one's children or considering them to be entitled despite having to compete in a 10x harsher field
- Loving all ideas when said by a talking head on TV, but hating the same ideas when formulated differently (TV says we must fight Iran, but we cannot increase taxes or cut medicare for it)
- Drawings of skeletons riding motorcycles, for some reason
- The Myspace aesthetic, without even knowing what it is
Esoteric boomerism often takes the form of well-meaning advice that turns out to be so retarded it elicits the opposite reaction from its audience

Did you hear that Mike's grandparents charge them for Thanksgiving dinner while expecting them to fly to their mansion in California?
Oh dude, I thought my parents kicking me out of the house at 18 was peak boomerism, but this is esoteric boomerism

Yanny - Stupid boomers, why didn't they use solar panels or windmills.
Lauren - Because they were super expensive and less effective at the time?
Yanny - That's no excuse, they should have looked at the icecaps! Besides, they had that oil-shortage in the seventies. Surely they should have seen the signs in the sky!
Lauren - Well - the icecaps weren't degrading as badly as today... I believe the oil-crisis was caused by international politics, and presumably some scientists predicted in the seventies that we were on the verge of a new ice-age.
Yanny - Greenpeace knew about global warming, but people didn't care.
Lauren - Sometimes Greenpeace went a little overboard, the petrolium industry was acting reactionarily not to mention lead-added gasoline, and people also worried more about the cold war for a long time...
Yanny - After the cold war ended, they should have done more!
Lauren - I think so too, but at that time, the effects of climate change were still lessened by the ocean dampening the effects.
Yanny - But in the 2000's, they must have known!
Lauren - Yeah, I think that was when the movement started to gather steam, and they also worried about 9/11.
Yanny - Aren't you just a boomer apologist?
Lauren - Aren't you boomer blaming?
Yanny - No, they are the reason the climate has gone crazy!
Lauren - Partially, but the effects take so long that...
Yanny - Ok, If I just say I am a boomer blamer will you shut up!
Lauren - Okay.

When you are in a conversation with someone of an older generation and they bring up the fact that they did not have internet or YouTube or they had to do everything bye word of mouth
