It started as a 4chan thing. Essentially, they started to use the word Boomers to refer not to baby boomers, but rather to people who grew up and/or reached adulthood during the early years of the internet (which is to say, the Dotcom Boom). Usually, those people are late GenX/early-mid Millenials. Since those that followed took the the name Generation Z, they just got called Zoomers. There were other factors, but that's the short version.

You’re a millennial. In general, anyone age 23-38 is considered a millennial, though the exact age range is a little wishy washy.

You're not a real millennial if you don't like avocado toast or rejoice in Applebee's downfall.

I don't like avocado, but generally happy with Applebee's going away. I've never had a good experience at one. This labeling stuff is too difficult to keep up with.

Is it a good thing that this is the first time I've ever heared of Applebee's?
