The term boomer refers to a mentality, not to the generation anymore.

By the current use of the term, yes, they all are, as this use refers to people who refuse change out of irrational belief that old times were better, glorify a violent and fascist past, and deny the existence of modern science because they refuse to adapt their obsolete lifestyle.

"Boomer" seems to hardly refer to anything anymore tbh.

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

It seems to mostly just mean "an imaginary person who I don't like" or "someone older than me". Or both.

40+? Boomer. Racist? Boomer. Etc.

But they'll also still say it's a generation. At least in my experience. It's really lazy.
