It’s straightforwardly a slur – to quote Google’s dictionary, it is “a derogatory or insulting term applied to particular group of people”.
It’s not a term anyone would ever use to neutrally describe a group of people, or a term anyone would use to describe themselves (I have yet to see anyone “reclaim” “techbro”). Its primary conversational value is as an insult.
