But before it was in reference to a specific demographic and not a catch-all term for old people
Part of that is simply ignorance. Teenagers not being familiar with a baby boom 80 years in the rear view mirror are simply borrowing the language of their elders, who did. As they mature, they'll likely fixate on other turns of phrase that more accurately describe the habits and characteristics of the GenX/Millennial demographic. Maybe they'll all just call us Weebs. Maybe they would be right to do so.
