As far as I can tell:
Boomer is another way to say out of touch
Doomer is a cynic who’s given up
Millennial is...well a millennial. Alternatively, someone who is spoiled/entitled.
Urban Dictionary often has definitions for weird internet slang. It’s user submitted so keep that in mind if you want to take what the site says as the definition.
Boomer is short for baby boomer, basically the generation that was born before 1965~.
Same goes for millenials as the name suggest are the ones born around the 2000's~.
Never heard of doomer tho, maybe you mean zoomer?

Don't forget Zoomer, slang for generation z.
Millennial - Wikipedia
Oxford Living Dictionaries describes a millennial as "a person reaching young adulthood in the early 21st century."[24] Jonathan Rauch, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, wrote for The Economist in 2018 that "generations are squishy concepts", but the 1981 to 1996 birth cohort is a "widely accepted" definition for millennials.[25] Reuters also states that millennials are "widely accepted as having been born between 1981 and 1996."
Mother pus bucket!
In the modern (online) context, basically they are memes caricaturing certain personality types.

Traditionally boomer, millennial, etc., were references to the generation one was born in.
As humans develop at different speeds, it would vary depending on the person I guess.
We agree on the "a person reaching young adulthood in the early 21st century." bit but the dates seem a bit contradictory to me. I would have said a 19 year old has already reached young adulthood.
I certainly don't class myself as a milennial and before the term even existed, my year at school was always referred to Gen X.
So you can answer yourself in the future. https://www.urbandictionary.com/
They're population cohorts.
Baby Boomer: born 1946 - 1964
Generation X: born 1965 - 1980
Millennial: born 1981 - 1996
They were made up by some fluff "science" in the late 80s and crappy media continues to obsess over them like they're horoscopes or something. Actually I take that back, at least newspaper horoscopes divide the planet into twelve groups instead of treating everyone born in a 15 year period as the same somehow.
Also, the exact dates vary (because this shit is made up and isn't based on anything real) and people have started to just use "Boomer" to refer to old out of touch people even if they aren't actually in that age group, and "Millennials" as "those darn kids these days" despite the fact they're in their 30s by now.
TLDR: it's all horseshit.
