But "okay boomer" has just become a bland, flavorless retort that gets said by anyone to anyone for any reason.

It isn't an expression of frustration at an audience that rejects facts and reason, it is a pithy retort that gets thrown out to say "STFU" to someone in slightly more polite terms.

Like, the root of this isn't unfair. But as with so much internet lingo, the initial intent has been polluted by online gooners who latch on to a phrase and use it as a barb rather than to convey any particular kind of coherent message.

I feel like this is also a Gen Z thing. Millennials try so hard with everything all the time, Gen Z probably thinks that's annoying (but maybe cute how naive and stupid we are to still try?). So "Ok Boomer" it is, which makes the exact effort to deal with boomers as boomers make in dealing with everything other than themselves.

And then it got appropriated and misused so that anything, even perfectly reasonable statements like "you should be cleaning your butthole when you shower" by literally anybody even 27 year old men, gets a response of "okay boomer".

Pseudo moralistic standing is like someone insisting their plain spaghetti is the only true pasta while ignoring the sauce that gives it meaning. They act righteous based on appearance rather than real substance. Spaghetti without sauce looks neat on the plate but leaves everyone unsatisfied. When people adopt a moral stance only to look good, it is empty and often slippery. It can twist around whichever way gets the most approval. Real morality has flavor. It nourishes. Pseudo morality is just noodles pretending to be a meal.
