Esoteric boomerism

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

Technological Boomer

A technological boomer is someone who rejects any type of proprietary software/device and has the purpose of “tracking” you. Their argument is that newer technology, especially software and Google/Apple (which are the main distributors) devices are made with the purpose of not only bloating your device with all sorts of useless features what you will not use, but also track every step you take. A technological boomer, in this case, would become an advocate for the use of non-proprietary/free and specially open source programs. They will always say that it is totally possible to use FOSS only and be able to ditch all the corporation crap. With this in mind, you will become more free, private and safer. These “evil corporations” will no longer be able to see the shady/explicit content on the websites you visit.

They also say that smartphones are evil (because they are controlled by these big corps.) and people should take a step back and return to the old days when we only had cellphones with no GPS/internet capability and stop with the use of social media because they make you addictive to them and actually get a proper life by raising up your arse and going outside and meet people in real life rather than giving all your data to a company that could use it against you if they wanted to.

Have you seen that Luke Smith guy on YouTube? Man, he is definitely a technological boomer! He is always saying we should stop using proprietary stuff and that these big tech companies are selling our data to advertisers.

Boomer management

Now that boomers are becoming elderly, we now find ourselves having to manage them, their needs, and sometimes their behavior. Some Boomers have less tendency towards mental health treatment and self-analysis than younger generations and put that on us. Some also complain about "how bad they had it" despite a much better cost of living and largely being able to buy houses in their 20's.

Wow the boomer management of my mom has gone way up lately, since yelled at the nurse and she's beefing with my aunt.
