 AGE DISCRIMINATION ON THE
INTERNET
THE BOOMERS VS ZOOMERS
The OK boomer meme comes from the tension
between the baby boomer generation and generation z
and millennials.

Gen Z or iGen: Born 1996 – TBD.

Millennials or Gen Y: Born 1977 – 1995.
Generation X: Born 1965 – 1976.
Baby Boomers: Born 1946 – 1964.
The term “OK boomer” has become a viral meme on the internet,
used to dismiss out-of-touch baby boomers—when a younger
person deems their opinion to be wrong or closed-minded.
