Well, I consider them a bane too, most people who say it don't know the full meaning and political undertones of the in-joke (some of which are ChapoTard-level malicious), and what used to be relatively benign poking at a stereotype has turned into full-blown overgeneralized D&C hate as Twattertards picked up on it that some anonymous denizens are trying to pull damage control on. I distinctly remember it getting a pop a few months ago, but that kid using it to defend climate change really put it into mainstream awareness.
"stfu boomer," the original form, was an occasional interjection used on the imageboards. "Yer fat, old, and senile" basically. It later got stretched into the "30 year old boomer" meme by entryist newfags who were braindead and could only remix and rehash shit they saw on KnowYourMeme. They're one reason 4chan is trash today among others. Anyways the "30 year old boomer" was a parody of young millennials who "have their shit together" and thus are sweaty, fat, and drink Hansens Zero Ultra. But then people were too stupid to distinguish parody and reality and started using boomer for "old person" and *-oomer as a lazy way to spin off more memey stereotypes.
Then people started taking the "Baby Boomer" part seriously and a lot of hate resurfaced. Some /pol/acks theorize this was deliberately pushed like "clown world" as a psyop, except this time it worked.
As Twatter understands it:
haha showed you you old person who doesn't know how to use technology
As 4chan currently describes it:
Boomers own 20x the wealth of millennials, they stole it and are hoarding it in their real estate, I fucking can't believe it
"ISRAEL IS MY GREATEST ALLY" in reference to how that phrase gets trotted out by old people
Day of the Pillow soon
Boomers being unilaterally stereotyped as greedy and selfish wealth hoarders who grew up spoiled in prosperous times, who then fucked their children over by pulling up the ladder so to speak, generally seen as "flower children" hippies who became "born-again capitalists" while never letting go of those leftist ideals
There's an additional element of them deliberately using up all the wealth before their deaths so as to spite their successors, and them passing regulations to create a nightmare world for them justifying that they "won't be alive to see it." Also some of them taking up jobs that could have gone to millennials, preventing advancement and passing of the torch, often referencing the 2008 subprime crisis when seniors rushed back into work after their SS/pensions/retirement dried up, with the crisis blamed on them as well
Boomers are inviting in immigrants to boost their real estate portfolios while fucking their own children over
Asian wife (in reference to how often old men marry them as a "conservative" and "conventionally feminine and submissive" option after their push and support of feminism has led to the divorce rate skyrocketing for white people)
Pictures of old people wearing shirts with leftist slogans
Just a LOT of economic and cultural grumbling in general, going into all the specific nuances of the meme would exceed the char limit of this post
As you can see, there's a lot of "Eat the Rich" stuff going on there, no doubt due to Twatter cancer invading. Some of it I think bears some truth, but ultimately it's WAY too overgeneralized and it doesn't help that Gen Xers/yuppies get targeted too when they contributed to the iconic imageboard culture/conservative zeitgeist of today.
Well, the meaning so to say is kind of like how "Trust The Plan" is associated with complacency, so "clown world" was to convince people to give up, accept how retarded intersectionality has made us, and accept our euthanization with laughter. Basically willingly downing the globalist fluoride. Except 4chan actually remembered that stupid silly shit went on all the time in the past so that didn't work on their literacy.
Uh oh, soon the people who picked up the "OK boomer" meme will start to realize what parts Twatter left out as they stole it from 4chan.
OOTL on the OK Boomer memes...?

I've never heard of "Clown World" being a psyop...
What's the deal with that?
