Not everyone, who uses “Boomer Remover”, is doing so for humor purposes. (The Donald Win)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Some of the Millennials, and some Gen Z, have adapted a coronavirus nickname to slam Baby Boomers. This trend, which began last month, labels the coronavirus as “Boomer Remover”. In addition to the elderly’s vulnerability to this virus, there is a political undercurrent to this nickname.<\/p>\n

The older generations tend to vote conservative. On the Democrat side, they are going for Biden instead of Sanders. In the general election, they tend to go for the Republicans. So, instead of the label that some conservatives use, “Wuhan Virus”, some of the Millennials and Generation Z are opting for “Boomer Remover”.<\/p>\n

From Newsweek:<\/span><\/p>\n

Boomer Remover has since become a battleground for generational warfare on social media, frequently couched as a natural consequence of how the Baby Boomer generation has treated the planet or approached politics–either an unfortunate outgrowth of the more conservative brand of politics suggested by Baby Boomer voting demographics relative to Millennials and Generation Z, or a deserved comeuppance for damage done to the environment and\/or social fabric. In response, Boomers and Boomer defenders have used the trending term to decry young people’s alleged dependency.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The younger generations appear to want to blame the Baby Boomers for environmental destruction. By extension, “Man-Made Global Warming.” This virus, some of these young ones claim, is nature’s response. A wave of “Boomer Remover” memes have been generated.<\/p>\n
