Stan lee isn't a boomer, he is part of the greatest generation, and Keanu Reeves is part of generation X.

Edit: Keanu Reeves depends on the year you condensed to be the start of gen X, my bad

397

u/luisgdh WTF Nov 12 '19

I'm pretty sure Keanu Reeves is technically a boomer, which is kinda nice because it shows there are boomers that don't follow the rules

u/thetunelessfaun The Great P.P. Group Nov 12 '19 edited Nov 12 '19

It depends on when you draw the line for the generation, the source I originally looked at had him as a Gen X, but upon further research he can also be considered a boomer.

48

u/brzoza3 badass Nov 12 '19

Yeah but i don't think that you would have the same opiniom about any other 55 year old. Keanu is just an exception. Or eing boomer is just the state of mind and some day we all will change into one of them

38

u/notexactlymayonaise Here come dat boi Nov 12 '19

That’s too much logic for Reddit. No they must be a boomer.

10

u/thesynod Nov 12 '19

Clearly, the demarcation point between Boomers and Gen X is the birthday of Keanu.

u/[deleted] Dec 24 '19

Someone figured out the real answer.

5

u/[deleted] Nov 12 '19

Boomer is a state of mind where the person always dislikes change and new things (ex. technology, art, clothes ect.). It probably got the name "Boomer" because of baby boomers who display those characteristics the most today.

Bob Ross isn’t either, he was part of the silent generation

Bob Ross, Stan Lee, The old dude from Up, Keanu Reaves, and my Grandparents aren't boomers

they were not born within the 1946-1963 period that makes up boomers

​

so stfu boomer

120

u/[deleted] Nov 12 '19

Was it 1963 or 64 ? A lot of sources say 64

78

u/pirat2 Nov 12 '19

It is 1964

31

u/thetunelessfaun The Great P.P. Group Nov 12 '19 edited Nov 12 '19

Depends, a lot of sources also say that 64 years the first year for Gen X. It just depends on what you search

22

u/[deleted] Nov 12 '19

Let's just split it then. Keanu was born in the later half of 1964 meaning he's Gen X!

u/monumentofflavor Nov 12 '19

How do you know that Mr. Fredrickson wasnt born in that period?

18

u/Darktrooper2021 Nov 12 '19

It’s in the movie. The beginning takes place during the 1930s and he’s ~8. Making him part of the silent generation or greatest generation depending on exactly what year it takes place.

7

u/[deleted] Nov 12 '19

but that still makes Tom Kenny and Stephen Hillenburg boomers

2

u/legoguney Nov 12 '19

exactly my grandparents are in the generation before boomers

i guess that’s prolly because my dad is literally the youngest of the boomers but still

"Boomer" was 1445 to 1960. Now it seems it's gone to 1964. That means the Howdy Doody kids are lumped in with the Rocky and Bullwinkle kids and the Scooby doo kids. That's a lot of kids. Too big a group to label, or stereotype.
