Nah, that's pretty spot on. The axe, conveniently forgetting what the trees are forced to remember, and then attempting to rewrite history, years later.
That's pure Boomerism.
Okay, but that's not what "ok, boomer" means. It's not about the cycle of generations. It is specifically about calling out people who are critical of the consequences of poverty experienced by younger generations, without acknowledging that poverty itself, or Boomers' responsibility for creating that poverty. "ok, boomer" is what you say when someone tells you that to get a good job, you just need a strong work ethic, a firm handshake, and the willingness to walk up to the manager and ask for a job.
Maybe that's what it means to you. I don't think that's a generally shared view.
It moreso means "Ok, old, out of touch person who wants to bloviate and/or gaslight me about some minutiae. I hear you, and I reject your input, but because you take any pushback as a threat to your identity, I'm going to be incredibly succinct to avoid further back and forth."
ok, zoomer.
