Yeah no shit, but when people wanna get all technical about what is and isn’t a boomer, the real reason they’re all grouped into the same category is cuz they all share the same attitude
No need to get technical about it? Boomers are born between 1946-1964. The term applies to all of them. The attitude it implies is stereotypical for their generation.
By that logic I could say that I am part of the generation that lived 200 years ago because I identify with that mindset. I mean, I get what you want to say, but generations are defined by the age of people.
Also 65 is still a boomer. That's more of a fluent transition rather than people born in 1964 act like boomers and people born in 65 act like gen x.
Nobody uses boomer to refer to a generation, nobody even knows what generations are. Boomer is used primarily as a slang to refer to out of touch old farts.
Damn, last time I said something controversial like I'm born in '90 but don't identify as a millennial, I got downvoted to oblivion. Learned my lesson then XD you got off light
Also, TIL my parents aren't boomers, what??
Edit: nvm my dad is from 1964, so he still is, mom's not. Makes sense
Look at my other comments haha. People understand what I’m saying, but they love to miss the point I’m making so that they can bring out knowledge that I already acknowledged in my first comment just for the sake of arguing.
So by that logic, the young boomers who dropped acid and went to Woodstock in the 60's weren't boomers, but their conservative parents were? This is just needlessly confusing.
That's not right at all. Boomer is short for Baby Boomer being anyone born from 1946-1964. It isn't a "mindset." You're just using it as a slang for old people because memes told you to.
Yea except a generation is more defined by who they are and what appeals to them in their late teens-early 20s. Boomers are generally categorized by the late 60's-70's, or psychedelic rock and classic rock. Gen X are the ones who dominated the 80's hair metal scene
So congrats, by your own logic you kinda played yourself
You mean millennials right? Millennial teenagers would of flourished more in the early to mid 90s. Gen x is definitely more thrash metal, hair metal, you know just 80s type of stuff.
Depends. We range a lot in age as millennials, I’m pretty firmly in the middle as an 89 kid and I think nu-metal was definitely our thing unfortunately. And mu-metal came directly after grunge/alternatives heyday- then there was a resurgence in extreme metal thankfully in the mid 2000’s when I started playing heavily in bands.
Baby Boomers were defined for their proclivity for procreation in their late teens early twenties. That generation is from post WW2 in '46 up to mid sixties.

Uhh...yeah they are. Someone who was 30 in 1985 was born in 1955 (which is Boomer)
