My 17 year old son has taken to saying “ok, boomer” to me lately (I’m right on the cusp between boomer and gen x). I generally just ignored it until recently I overheard his mom refer to him as a millennial, and he scornfully replied “I’m a zoomer”. So now I just throw “ok, zoomer” right back at him.
