I wouldn’t be particularly offended to get an “OK, Boomer” retort because I wouldn’t take it personally. But the part that is offensive about the retort in general is that is supposes that all boomers are alike. We are not. All women are not alike, all immigrants are not alike, all athletes are not alike, all millennials are not alike. So telling someone “I don’t see you as an individual I see you as an indistinguishable element of a homogeneous group” is probably insulting. But hard to take personally.
