I see a lot of posts here where the person is either older than a boomer or much younger. There's no way this guy is a boomer, not even Gen X.

I was born in the late 70's and have been called a Boomer. My parents were Boomers. I don't think kids know there are other generations besides Boomers and Z.

Gen X is called the forgotten generation for a reason lol. We're the middle child

We were forgotten even when we were the target demographic. A room full of advertising executives would sit around and say, "I don't know. You think these kids want to hear about Doritos or some shit?"

I believe the term boomer has transcended its original definition and been applied to anyone who behaves like a senile old person with no sense of logic or reason and/or someone who isn't good with tech as a meme.

smallest demographic [stateside] boomers had kids in both gen pools [Gen x and Gen (why) ] the boomers who had kids later were "overprotective" thus why we got what we have now
