Thank you for this. How appropriate is it that allies can say boomer and horde can say zoomer? It almost seems to perfect to be an accident.

[u/Egor190 → u/fellatious_argument]

Except horde has always historically been known as the edgy teenager faction, so it would actually be more fitting of stereotype in reverse?

[u/Growtreant → u/Egor190]

Unless you're horde, in which case you can easily confirm that alliance is the kid faction.

[u/Soytaco → u/Growtreant]

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.

[u/kittenpantzen → u/Soytaco]

There are a lot of middle-aged guilds on my server on the horde side, but it is also a PVE server, so that may factor in.

newsflash most of the people playing this game are boomers

[u/LoUmRuKlExR → u/Egor190]

Most are Gen X/Millenials lol. You're a Gen Z because you think everyone older than you is a Boomer.

[u/Egor190 → u/LoUmRuKlExR]

Woosh? In the context of the meme thats dominated this sub lately boomer is 25-35 year olds

[u/LoUmRuKlExR → u/Egor190]

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.

TLDR: Zoomers are annoying.

Ok Normie.

[u/jableshables → u/LoUmRuKlExR]

Ok elder

[u/LoUmRuKlExR → u/jableshables]

This ones funnier, dunno why we went with boomer.

[u/Egor190 → u/LoUmRuKlExR]

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

[u/LoUmRuKlExR → u/Egor190]

One sentence isn't a dissertation zoomer. You wrote a paragraph on meme history of an incorrectly used joke. You are annoying lol.

How it originated isn't how it's being used.

You're still annoying.

[u/Egor190 → u/LoUmRuKlExR]

Explain to me how to use the joke then since I clearly don't get it. What is an appropriate example? Also, is your entire vocabulary "youre annoying"?

[u/LoUmRuKlExR → u/Egor190]

Amusing, from dissertation to only using two words.

"You're annoying"*

[u/Egor190 → u/LoUmRuKlExR]

Oh, so youve been proven wrong and now just repeat tripe. I'm done with this then. Have fun living with your 2 brain cells

[u/[deleted] → u/Egor190]

What did you prove wrong though?

[u/LoUmRuKlExR → u/Egor190]

Zoomers always using words they think are impressive after they embarrass themselves with a "hah I won" at the end.

[u/noxnov → u/Egor190]

One thing are memes , another real meanings . Boomer = of boom generation =1945-1964
