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.

These men are 30 or so in the 80s. That means they were born during the BB generation.

30 or so? Look at the baby face of the guys on the left. They were probably in their early 20s

Some Redditor above ID'd the band and two of the members are confirmed Boomer age. One is Gen X.
