It's not careless use you're just trying to be the gatekeeper of which uses are acceptable and which aren't. Your interpretation isn't automatically right just because it's yours.

Besides, you're trying to cast boomers as some marginalized group of people when they're the wealthiest generation in the richest nation in the history of the world. That's objectively a dumb position to take.

In summary, and in the clearest language I can muster, there is no award for being offended on behalf of the most people so quit being such a whiny little bitch about everything.

I don't think you understand that words have a meaning, defined in a dictionary. You can just decide that your kind of discriminatory language somehow doesn't count and we should all just magically know what you really mean, but that also echoes the typical defenses that racists and gender bigots use.

Bigotry on the basis of race, religion, gender and yes even age is wrong no matter how you try to defend it.
