A colloquial term used to describe the phenomenon where an individual, often of the Baby Boomer generation, consistently sets the volume excessively high when watching online videos or listening to audio content. This behaviour is typically attributed to a lack of awareness of modern audio norms or potential hearing loss associated with age.

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.

Get the Boomer mug.Misinformation online spread by boomers who come from an era where if the information is in the form typed text, they consider it true. This misinformation is often shared in the form of a grainy facebook picture.

Get the Boomer Misinformation mug.When boomers (and other old guys) flood an attractive young lady's social media profile post with sappy and creepy compliments. (Frequently these "men" are incels.... and frequently these "young ladies" aren't even real people)
Comments are frequently full of red hearts, flowers and lame/pathetic emojis. Comments usually sound like "Sexy" "My love" "Marry Me" etc.
