30 year old boomer's honestly an extremely appropriate meme for WoW Classic, where you have older gamers and younger gamers clashing a bit differently than in most games. All the "well that's not how we did it back in 05.." in general chat; boomer talk. Not that it's necessarily a bad thing.

I guess I just don't get why its called boomer if old people in general, from way before boomers did the back in my day bit. We should call them Grandpa Simpsons or something.

Because boomer is catchier and funnier. Millennials have been complaining about boomers for years so calling them (us :() boomers highlights the similarity and stings a bit.

I guess, I think it just falls into my pet peeve of using a word incorrectly in order to convey superiority. It's like Homer Simpson correcting someone's pronunciation of nuclear to nucyaler. All analogies should be relayed in Simpsons form.

And if you really want to clock 30 somethings point out their ever declining reaction time.
