>>12512996>Boomer wasn’t used at all to refer to older people in general until is was force spammed on every boardIt refers to the people born in the years I mentioned, and was in use for about 50 years (and not just in the USA) before this website came to life. By that time some of these people were at least middle-aged already, others were old. And they're even older now. Attempting to argue 4chan had any sort of relevance on the use of the term in question is naively cute at best and horribly fucking retarded at worst. Talk to your parents and grandparents about it and how they used the word when they were young.
>Just because the word existed doesn’t mean it was a memeI never said it was.
>the meaning of the word went from taking about a specific group of older peopleAgain, it refers to the people born in the years I mentioned. Which are even older now. Even though for some reason you just told me it wasn't used to refer to previously middle-aged/old, and now even older people born within these specific years at all before this website.
>to anyone that’s old.Because right now the youngest boomers are 57. But the supposed "mountain of evidence" shows one cross-posting troll, applying the term for people currently aged 57+ to people currently aged 23+. Which yes, it is forcing a meme, because these people aren't obviously old. Just like I said in both of my posts. And just like I'm saying this again, for the third time.
>>12515706Yes, as evidenced by me saying "you're referring to the action of mislabeling the term" and "Unless you mean labeling anyone over the age of 30 a boomer". Perhaps I should have been clearer and said "anyone below 57 at the moment" instead, but that doesn't change much in this regard.
