A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

Language is like that. You can read into it what you want to in many cases. If you don't want to accept what I'm telling you I mean when I say something then that's fine. Just know at that point you're giving more weight to your own assumptions than you are to what the speaker intended to convey and that's the opposite of how listening is supposed to work.
Language is like that, careless use makes your point unclear and may lead people to think you're a bigot when that's not your intention. You can blame others for not understanding your inner thinking when you're make sweeping generalizations but in the end it's not their responsibility to dig into your psyche.
It's not careless use you're just trying to be the gatekeeper of which uses are acceptable and which aren't. Your interpretation isn't automatically right just because it's yours.
Besides, you're trying to cast boomers as some marginalized group of people when they're the wealthiest generation in the richest nation in the history of the world. That's objectively a dumb position to take.
In summary, and in the clearest language I can muster, there is no award for being offended on behalf of the most people so quit being such a whiny little bitch about everything.
Hear hear!
I don't think you understand that words have a meaning, defined in a dictionary. You can just decide that your kind of discriminatory language somehow doesn't count and we should all just magically know what you really mean, but that also echoes the typical defenses that racists and gender bigots use.
Bigotry on the basis of race, religion, gender and yes even age is wrong no matter how you try to defend it.
