A senior official with the AARP, formerly known as the American Association of Retired Persons, on Tuesday took an apparent swipe at millennials over the popular OK, boomer message, arguing that the older generations actually have the money.

"OK, millennials. But we're the people that actually have the money," Myrna Blyth, senior vice president and editorial director of AARP Media, told Axios in an interview in which she addressed the group's success with its digital and print assets.

The remarks referenced a meme that pushes back against older generations' criticism of millennials and Generation Z. The two-word refrain of "OK, Boomer" has been embedded in dozens of viral posts on platforms such as Twitter and TikTok. The line gained further attention last week after a 25-year-old New Zealand lawmaker used it to dismiss a colleague who heckled her as she spoke about climate change in Parliament.
