"Zoomer" is slang for "Gen Z" (Generation Z / Post-Millennials).

A person born between 1996 and 2012.

The name is a play on the term “Boomer,” which refers to members of the Baby Boomer generation, and also refers to the fast-paced upbringings Gen-Zers experience due to the simultaneous fast advantages in technology.

They pick up devices quicker, jump online into social networks, and zoom around as such in regards to a more online environment.

Stereotypes include love for Battle Royale games, such as Fortnite. Tendency to perform Floss and other dance moves, normally related/used in the game Fortnite. Playing the game Fortnite. Proposing to their crush online at a young age, but then being distracted from any relationship by the game Fortnite till of legal age or more likely well into their 30s.

The same thing a "boomer" is, or a "millenial", or "weeb", "brony", "normie", etc. etc. - a stupid label.

Zoomer is a term that used to mean a Boomer with a zest for life. Like "Zoomer Magazine", for example.

The internet being what it is...I'm guessing a lot of fools mistakenly assumed this had something to do with kids declaring themselves a new generation every five years or so? Now, according to Reddit, it's taken on some new meaning?

I suspect that people who think Zoomers have anything to do with young people would be awfully disappointed to get a subscription to Zoomer magazine, and wind up reading about hot-flashes, and arthritis?

Wrong on all counts, as usual.

Just because you can't think up your own terms and cry when someone points it out to you, doesn't make it my problem. That magazine was started back in 2008...before some of your so-called "zoomers" were even born.

They were developed completely independently, which is why nobody is even remotely aware of zoomer magazine aside from you and your fellow boomers. It's hardly a very creative name.

A generalization of demographics to keep sheeple occupied and distracted from the real issues in this world. It's always polarization that keeps power up. Divide and conquer.

I am totally okay with each generation being named starting with some letter and ending in "oomer".

Generation alpha is next, right?
