It's a double meaning. It also references the fast pace of life in the age of the internet which they grew up with.

It really doesn't. The "40 year old boomer" meme blew up on 4chan and then elsewhere and people upset about it made "zoomer" as a reactionary response. It's literally just boomer with a z, as typical of lazy boomers

I think it refefenced to the zoomers in jak 2 and 3 that populated haven city.

It make sense. Cuz zoomers are the newest prominent generation and are futuristic. Gen Alpha is the newest generation but not promonent yet on social media.

Gen Z isn't the problem... yet. They don't have any real power. But once they do, they just look like they are going to really suck.
