A word some ignorant, emotionally undisciplined, arrogant young people use to dismiss valid, logical evidence-supported points made by someone a bit older than them.
22 year old: "Capitalism is bullshit, it's a system where billionaires live in luxury off the hard work of workers who get paid slave wages. It's time to get rid of the obscenely wealthy 1% and spread their wealth to the hard working people! Socialism is the answer!
32 year old: "Billionaires typically don't steal their wealth (except maybe for Russian oligarchs), billionaires like Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, and Elon Musk got rich by giving people what they wanted. They started huge companies that created thousands of jobs and improved technology for the masses. They earned their money by offering millions of people products and services (and jobs), and the people voluntarily accepted. There was no robbery taking place, which is what you're advocating: robbing the rich and giving to the poor."
22 year old: "ok boomer" (in other words, I have no rational response to what you said so I'll just draw draw attention to the fact that you're older than me. I don't know how age is relevant but I don't want to admit that you're right because my tender delicate little ego won't permit it. )

A slang term used as a response to a statement made by a person from the baby boomer generation. I.e someone likely born between the years of 1945-1960.
The term is a logical fallacy called an ad hominem which addresses the characteristics of the person rather than their statement or position.
It is also used as a meme, and has started simp wars on twitter over the Bernie “ok boomer” girl.
One of the worst memes ever created.

“Cutting in line is disrespectful, you shouldn’t do that.” -said Frank aged 60
“Whatever you say, boomer. Ok, ok boomer.” -said some random teenager with no respect for anything

Millennials tried so long toexplain using facts and evidence that they don’t actually have it that easy and they aren’t just lazy, but became very clear that boomers don’t care about facts, evidence, or reality for that matter. So this is what has resulted. We’ve given up. I feel like “ok boomer” is kind of equivalent of “wow, you’re so horribly wrong, but I don’t have the time or energy to repeatedly explain something to you that you’re not going to listen to anyways.”
The ok boomer... was not actually made by me but a fellow reditter of r/memes, seeing as it’s hot when I am typing this, I will put a link here (Edit: urban dictionary is stupid so put u/gallowboob and you will hopefully find it) to show how I respect him and how he is the fellow how made this post for me to put it up, and gallowboob is his name, so go send him some love, maybe even some reddit gold and upvote it, like I did, although this is only a description, I think it fits as an urban dictionary

A meme which should die.
Often said by little brats who don't want to listen to authority figures.
This term originated by the even more dumb term, "Baby Boomer", which classified nostalgic 80 year old's as dumb people, and can be classified as hate speech.
In short, it is a derogatory figure of speech used against older figures by dumb children.

You say this when an old person starts smack talking a younger public just for being young.
In an attempt to stop listening to their idiocies, you pass it off by just agreeing with whatever stupid statement the person spits out, and end the conversation right there.
