The "ok boomer" phrase is an internet joke that is used as a method of dismissing those with stereotypically older or outdated mindsets and opinions that are entirely false or generally bad for society such as racism, sexism and homophobia.
It goes beyond ignorance and refers to those who simply don't want to change.
By saying ok boomer, more open minded are saying "okay we heard you and you are entirely incorrect, hurtful, etc but we have better things to focus on rather than give you an explaination to something that you will simply dismiss." Instead, we dismiss the boomer.
Boomers can be any age, but are primarily part of the baby boomer generation. Not all baby boomers are subject to "ok boomer" (I.e. Danny Devito, who despite being in the baby boomer generation is very open minded and accepting. Not a "boomer.")
A 20 year old homophobic man is a boomer.
Racist 30 year olds.
An 80 year old who is not hurtful to society with outdated opinions? Not a "boomer".
There are open minded older folks and close minded younger. This was inspired by a dismissive older person so the term was coined.

Saying “ok boomer” is a lazy attempt at invalidating the opinions of those who you don’t agree with, without using any actual arguments. It was originally used specifically against boomers, but now it’s used against pretty much anyone even if the person is ironically younger than the person who typed “ok boomer”.
Sam (20) on Facebook:
I don’t think paying CO2 taxes will save the planet. I don’t see how giving the government even more money is a solution.
triggered environmentalist who can’t come up with any proper arguments (30):
ok boomer

'Ok boomer' - a phrase referring to the Baby Boomer generation, born between 1946 and 1964, but in general to anyone who looks older than 30 and has 'regressive' views. The phrase 'ok boomer' is used mostly by leftists when their viewpoint is challenged. Just like any joke the left makes, it has become unfunny to the point that it cannot be used ironically.
Leftist cuck: 'I feel so bad for Iran, I am fully regretful for the death of Qassem Soleimani, killed by evil cis het white men!'
Someone with a brain: 'You realise he was a terrorist, against basic human rights for LGBTQEJGKNRSGP+ people?'
