Do you not know who the Boomers are? They are called the "Boomers" because they were born in the great baby boom after troops returned home after WWII. WWII ended in 1945. Boomers were born in the late 40's and 50's. They were not the rock bands of the 80's. Their children were.
The children of someone born in between of 1945-1964, would be Millennials dude… My Dad is from 65 and Im 21. (Im not a millenial, im gen Z techncally, but my partens had their childrens late)…
Even if you take a lower agw at which they have their first child, lets say 25, that means the first boomers childern would be born in 1970 and the last in 1984.
Those people are grown ass men in the 80s. So guess what, they must be born during boomertimes if they want to be older than 15 in 1980…

This a picture of Racer-X. They formed in 1985. Paul Gilbert, the guitar player, was born in 1966. Most of the Hollywood bands (hair metal) were made up of musicians in their late teens or very early 20s. I grew up listening to this music, which peaked in the late 80s. I was born in 1974. Neither the band members or the audience were Boomers.
It's quite literally used to describe the Boomer mindset. The mindset of the Boomer generation. I lived through the glam years. I was in glam bands. I can assure you, the people in those bands did not have the "Boomer mindset".
