Where this word comes from

Portmanteau from Generation Z and boomer (“baby boomer, a person born between 1945 and early 1960s”). Merriam-Webster identified the earliest use in its current sense as being made on 16 March 2016 by an aviation engineer named Jennie Santoro at HNTB Seattle, in a presentation called "Boomers to Zoomers: Passing the Torch to Generation Z!" However, the word was ultimately popularized through a variant of the Wojak meme which originated on 4chan on July 21st, 2018, and from there spread to other platforms. Accordingly, Urban Dictionary view statistics suggest that it began gaining traction in mid-2018 before peaking in January 2020.
