You’ve probably heard this song all over TikTok and if not, you’ve probably seen the memes! This song was originally posted on the internet in July 2019 by Jedwill and then the Peter Kuli remix was posted on Soundcloud in October of 2019. Since then the official music video has reached over 340K views and has even sparked controversy that NBC News and The New York Times wrote an article on it.
Although many take the term “OK Boomer” as a joke, many other people have considered it to be slander towards the Boomer generation. The Music video opens up with short clips of the “Boomer” Generation such as Seniors walking down the street to vintage footage of the Boomer generation when they were younger. The way the video is set up it almost seems to be a response to what Boomers have been saying about the Millennials and Gen Z, while also giving a bit of an inside look at what that Boomer generation achieved and created. One of the clips touches the subject of consumerism and war. This isn’t your typical music video and although some say its satirical, it may also just be hitting the nail on the head with everything that is going on today.
