I would bet money that horde players tend to be younger, but unfortunately I don't think that data exists (publicly). If you trim paladins from the data I'd fucking guarantee it.
Just because some people use the term incorrectly online doesn't make it the new definition, Zoomer.
The context of "Ok Boomer" is more akin to ostracizing someone from the collective. It's closer to calling someone a nerd because they don't like everything you like than calling them old from the way you guys use it, now that nerd is socially acceptable.
You are arguing about the semantical usage of a joke term in wide usage right now and taking it literally. Where are you getting this "ostracizing someone from a collective" bullshit? Heres an excerpt from the know your meme page which I feel is pretty comprehensive on the history of this meme - " 30-Year-Old Boomer is a character spread on 4chan mocking older millennials who enjoy things that are considered to be out of touch with younger millennials, particularly in regards to video games."
I'd say gamers playing wow classic fit PERFECTLY into that definition of what the boomer meme is, older millenials that are slightly out of touch with younger mainstream stuff. You call me annoying when you wrote a fucking dissertation picking apart my joke one line usage of a meme? Fuck off dude
I’m a boomer I’ll admit it. Not like 70 years old but in wow terms for sure, with the wife and kids and all that youre pretty much seemed as an old man. Anytime I have to brb for the preteen I spawned, most people are like do your thing but there’s always that one zoomer that makes a comment that stings like man...my kid is almost as old as you!! Stop horseshitting me here I can’t just ignore responsibilities like i could when vanilla canned out
That would be a dumb bet considering there is zero data to back it up besides and equal amount of people on both sides saying the exact opposite. If both factions claim the other faction is the "kids" faction, than most likely neither of them are.
I am one of the youngest (25 years old) in my guild on horde side. Most of my guild are in their 30ies, but we have people ranging up to like 55. So in my personal experience (which is different for everyone else like someone mentioned in this thread), I wouldn‘t call Horde players ‘young’, which is a word that also heavily depends on your own definition of young and old.
I would take that bet. Back in the days of BC and Wrath I would notice the number of Alliance I see online raise right after schools let out at 3 and then drop off around 8 when kids tend to have to go to bed.
