boomer folklore

Boomer folklore is a term used to describe ideas and conceptions about the world, held by those who we may consider "boomers", which are not necessarily accurate depictions of reality - think 'old wives tales' but the modern description.
Gen Z 1) "Bruh my boomer parents think that the government detect the signals coming from your house, if you're watching TV without a TV licence, do you think that's true?"

Chad Gen Z) "My bruh, don't listen to them, that's just boomer folklore."

Boomer News

Pejorative term used to describe mainstream news outlets like CNN, Fox, Washington Post... heck, basically all of them, that choose to spin and propagandize and make people outraged rather than actually report objective news. These outlets are all slowly withering because statistically the vast majority of viewers are Baby Boomers or older, and younger generations are increasingly turning to the internet, especially YouTube, for more substantive content free of corporate interference.
"Dad, I don't mind eating dinner with you tonight but turn off your Boomer News, that shit rots your brain."

OK Boomer

A very dismissive and tired catchphrase only a year old used on social media with memes by the unsocial and smartphone-addicted Generation Z that have no interest in associating with or listening to old people (over 40) or how things used to be, even though today’s Boomers are all between 60 and 80 today. The phrase has been a success at offending older folks on social media wanting their voices heard and respect.
Boomer: When I was growing up, we were outside all day. We drank out of the water hose, rode our bikes all over the neighborhood, and didn’t come home until the street lights came on.

Z’er: OK Boomer!
