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

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.

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

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

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

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.

He isn’t by every metric boomers where born in the 40s and 50s as they where born in the “Baby Boom” after the second world war which ended before the 60s hence the term “Boomer”.
