No they don’t have to be older. If I had a friend who was a year older than me and I said “battle passes, looter shooters, and tik tok are dumb” he could call me a total boomer.

Okay boomer was an insult for the baby boomer generation, now it’s being used for anyone older. Both are acceptable.

Ah, so it means anyone who you disagree with who happens to be a few years older than you… So it’s pointless?

Sounds like it’s just become a synonym for a curmudgeon.
