Reply to comment by subrosa in Is "boomer" problematic language? by ziq

I agree with this perspective. Also, I would like to assume we all learned what a baby boomer is in school. We learned the soldiers came home and there was a population 'boom' because they were starting families. We learned the 1946-1964 babies were boomers. So (for me, at least) when i see someone say Ok, boomer I perceive agism. Due to learning what a baby boomer was when i was in elementary school and then seeing how it is currently used , i see it as agism. Is it problematic? Well, not really. A boomer might take offence but no one else seems to care lol
