PewDiePie reveals how it feels to be called a \u201cboomer\u201d by his viewers YouTube king Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg has weighed in on the \u201cOk Boomer\u201d debate, revealing how it feels to be called a boomer by his viewers, and how much he loves the meme trend. Being called a boomer on the internet in 2019 is not a particularly flavorful title. It\u2019s used for the most part as an insult of someone being out of touch with something, or even just a cheeky punch at someone\u2019s terrible opinion. However, after being hounded by his viewers for quite some time, PewDiePie has embraced the title his viewers have bestowed on him, and the meme itself. During his latest episode of \u201cLast Week I Asked You,\u201d PewDiePie was going through some of the best memes on his subreddit \/r\/pewdiepieSubmissions when he came across a Narnia \u201cOk Zoomer\u201d meme. He appreciated the submission, and went on to talk about how his viewers call him a boomer from time to time, and how he loves how the meme is now just blowing up. \u201cI love how \u2018Ok Boomer\u2019 is blowing up, it\u2019s such a big meme,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s so dumb. It\u2019s been an underlying meme for a long time, but it\u2019s just blown up now.\u201d Ironically, the video is titled \u201cStop calling me a Boomer,\u201d although it\u2019s doubtful that will be happening any time soon, with the comment section of the video full of references to the meme. Ok Boomer has taken the internet by storm at the tail end of 2019. It was designed to dismiss attitudes stereotypically assigned to the baby boomer generation born in the 50s and 60s. It\u2019s hit the mainstream in a way not seen in other memes, with celebrities from all parts of the globe taking part. The term has been thrown around in the New Zealand parliament, and even coined as being possibly \u201cageist.\u201d Read more: Judge Judy roasts Twitch streamer – It\u2019s evolved into its many forms, including its cousin \u201cOk Zoomer,\u201d taking aim at the kids who talk way above the heads of anyone else. Whether zoomers down the line will be calling the King of YouTube a boomer, or whether the meme will fizzle out and die like most catchphrases remains to be seen. However, for the time being, PewDiePie can hoist the title of the \u201cBoomer of YouTube\u201d right next to his 100 million subscriber award, and wear it however he likes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
