Pretty sure the boomers are the ones that came after WW2, the aforementioned "boom" of their namesake being progeny of those that didn't die during the blitz, Normandy, Stalingrad, and everywhere in between.

- WalterBright 5y agoThe boom comes from "baby boom" which means a sudden increase in the birth rate. This happens normally after wars end that have high casualty rates. I recall reading that the day WW1 was declared over, people were copulating in the streets of London. People have an urge to rebuild the population.
