It seems lately that a hot topic or phrase that is talked about/often said in popular culture is the use of the term “boomer,” as in “OK boomer,” which is meant as a derogatory term for someone who, at this point, is older than anyone using it.

The boomer generation, better known as the baby boomer generation, has recently come under fire for being unable to keep up with the times and constantly talking about longing for the era of “in my day..”.

The younger generation feels their way, the old way no longer has room in society, and they should stop talking about how everything is worse now and get with the program.

A Redditor who teaches a job skills class recently ran into a younger student taking his class who had nothing to offer other than a quip about being a “boomer.”

Job Skills Class

The class is meant for people who need help finding and getting a job. The class goes over job skills such as creating and writing resumes, applying both in person and online, interviewing for jobs, and other skills people may need when actively looking for work.

The class targets people who have had extended layoffs and those looking to rejoin the workforce after having children or retiring.

“Boomer” Comments Towards Others

As the older students in the class began talking about their work history and experience, it led to many of them talking about how things are so different now versus when they first joined the workforce and how it’s difficult as an older adult to keep up with technology, online interviews, and apps being used to apply for jobs.

As the discussion moved on, the younger student continued to make comments until, finally, the teacher told her if she made another comment about others in the class, she would be asked to leave. The young woman then yelled out, “OK, boomer,” to which the teacher then kicked her out of the class.
