Don't get angry or defensive. If you do, you've taken their bait and fallen into their trap.
Just point out their child-like naïveté.
Somebody replied to me the other day using that comment. Didn’t know what it meant at the time
That’s bordering on a near racist-like usage of the term and certainly “hate speech”.
But that’s par for the course for leftists and the next stage of their devolution. Recall they want the young as low as 16 or younger to vote, like Greta, coz they’re so passionate at that age (but can’t drink, own guns, smoke or do anything “adult”)
This is pure thought/mass mind control.
I think Gen-X has actually *earned* the right to make an ‘OK, boomer’ snark every once in a while, and be completely correct in doing so. Millennials, on the other paw, haven’t earned that right yet.
They're being taught this.
My response; Your problem is, that you just don’t know, that you don’t know.
Another millidiot who believes climate change is man-made and can be reversed with higher taxes.
I told the child that when the Boomers were young, their catchphrase was, "Don't trust anyone over 30!" and I was glad to see that she was just like them.

That statement “OK, boomer” is bigotry.
It is like saying, “OK, whitie”, “OK, girl” or some other statement. Worse than saying a dismissing “whatever”, it throws in a slur to demonize the person based on DEMOGRAPHICS. That you’re going to dismiss what they say based on who they are. It is a bigoted attack.
Call liberal bullies bigots when they say it.
OK Boomer is an insult?
Isn’t that just a little racist against Oklahomans?
“In the year 2050, I will be 56 years old..”
You’ll never make it sweetheart...you are too mentally shot and will do yourself in by then.
“OK, boomer.”
What...is she calling the guy an Oklahoman?
Another reply is, “Young, dumb and stupid is a phase we all go through. We all grow out of being young but it takes will and a conscience effort to overcome dumb and stupid”
My thirteen-year-old daughter had to explain this one to me. It’s the latest insult that yoots like to use to dismiss their elders. I told her that’s fine, but since I’m not a Boomer OR an Xer (born in 1966), she’d better never use it on me unless she wants to find out what life was like when I was a kid, with no technology and a paddle or a belt at the ready.

Kid, I’ve got boots older than you.
Then there is the all time favorite response to these young whipper snappers:
Dumbass!
It is quite possibly lamest gayest self-imagined “burn” ever created.
Swarbrick is in a relationship with a male presenting female. On the topic of her sexuality she has said she "likes people", refusing to give a label. She says she didn't come out of the closet because she was never in the closet...
Ya think?
I’ve used it a couple of times in fustration with people that clearly think that their old man nihilism should be something to humor. Same as I say to millennials with their arrogant know-it-all attitude.
But in a setting like that? That really isnt appropriate, I dont think.
... and then say “I forgive you, little Pube.”
