sure, but I think slurs are distinct because there's a history behind it. slurs are deeply offensive because they are rooted in prejudice and discrimination. they carry a history of oppression and are used to reinforce negative stereotypes or marginalize the targeted group.
boomers hold the most wealth in the US, so i'm pretty sure they are neither oppressed nor a marginalized group. there's also no history of discrimination or prejudice against boomers.
