It might sound stupid since it's basically just the terms Gen Z and Boomer smashed together but when you understand that it was coined by zoomers themselves through their ironic meme culture, it's actually kind of fitting. If they ever want to be called something else, it's up to them.
Love this, 100% agreed. I had the same initial reaction in thining the Zoomer name was dumb but after digging into it came to the same point you're making here. The Gen Z reddit was very clear that they like the name Zoomer, every other idea was shot down or argued about.
