The "Ok Boomer" meme is taking over the internet and it's not hard to see why. Born out of frustration with the outdated views of some baby boomers, this relatable phrase has become a rallying cry for anyone who feels like they're being lectured by someone from a different generation. The story behind "Ok Boomer" starts on Reddit, where user besser435 posted a screenshot of their conversation with an older relative. The younger person had expressed their concerns about the environment and social security, only to be met with dismissive comments from the boomer. Instead of engaging in another frustrating conversation, the younger person simply said, "Ok Boomer" - a phrase that has since become synonymous with eye-rolling and disdain. It's a way of saying, "I'm tired of your outdated views and I'm not going to engage with you." Since then, the meme has taken on a life of its own. People are using it to express their frustration with anyone who seems out of touch with modern society. From politicians to celebrities, no one is immune from being called an "Ok Boomer."
