The 'Boomer Remover' term emerged as a controversial slang phrase in early 2020 during the onset of the global COVID-19 pandemic. It was popularized primarily on social media platforms like Twitter and TikTok by younger generations as a dark-humor reaction to the virus's higher mortality rate among the Baby Boomer demographic. The phrase became a flashpoint for intergenerational tension, following the 'OK Boomer' trend, highlighting the cultural divide between Gen Z and older generations. While criticized for being insensitive, the term remains a significant artifact of early pandemic-era internet culture, often used to satirize the perceived friction between different age groups regarding social and economic issues.
