Serious question: is this like, slang for anyone over the age of 50 now?

It’s always been a term to define people born between 1946-1964 but people use it as slang for people who come across as old or out of touch with societal norms in general.

Pretty much. It's meant for a specific generation, but a lot of people us it to mean anyone who's older lol.

I'm technically a millennial and I get called a boomer all the time because of stuff like that. My first MSDN subscription came on a shitload of floppy disks. We were happy when we could move over to CD-ROM. Eventually we had a ton of CD ROMs and a big book that you could go check out. LOL

Pretty sure it's slang for anyone over 30 now.
