Better get used to it. What happened to Gen X with the rise of the Millennials, now happens to the Millennials in the form of the elusive Gen Z. They weren't even born in the twentieth century!

The mocking phrase "ok, boomer" is now considered hate speech according to some irate boomers suffering from snowflakeism, so better look out. You never know when the moderators make the very use of the word 'boomer' a punishable offense in order to placate the cantankerous curmudgeons who did everything in their power to make things more miserable for the generations after them.

Some exaggerations may have occurred in the writings above. Read at your own risk.

Maybe they are referring to the boomers from Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040, assuming your friends are also colossal nerds.

Police with tanks in a place called New Dominion with lots of pollution. So it's a police procedural set in contemporary St. Louis.
