It is offensive, 100%. It's grouping and stereotyping people based on age, meaning that for example my parents are subject to it, despite growing up in communist Poland and not getting any economic benefits normally attributed to "boomers". At 28, I'm probably 10x "wealthier" than they were at my age, but of course they are "boomers" by age so fuck them for ruining the economy, right?

If you're vicariously triggered by the word "boomer", it's because you have this attitude attached to it. As with the other commenter, I can't help you with words you're trying to put in my mouth.
