Boomer is short for baby boomer. After World War 2, soldiers came home and started a family. The children born during this time, between 1946 and 1964, were called baby boomers.

But people use it as a meme for anyone older who doesn't relate with the hardships young people face IMO.

as /xprog said, used as a stand-in for conservative, stubborn or resistant to change. Hence, "but I'm a millennial!" is not protection against being ok boomered.
