If someone responds “ok boomer”

after you’ve carefully shared that information, a few things can usually be inferred:
1. They’re being dismissive rather than engaging.
– The phrase is often used to brush off something that feels overly detailed, pedantic, or “old-fashioned.”
2. They’re framing you as out of touch.
– Even if you’re not actually a Baby Boomer, the meme shorthand suggests they see you as speaking from a “dated” or “overly serious” perspective.
3. They may not be interested in the nuance.
– Your explanation was balanced and evidence-based. Their reply suggests they weren’t looking for depth, but perhaps just a quick “yes/no” or even a funny story.

So, what you can deduce is that they’re likely not engaging in good faith with the information itself, but instead reacting socially. And they’re probably a t**t to be honest.
