There is literally a generation called "baby boomer." And, their children are called millennials.
- foobarbecue 3y agoRight. I had learned that boomers were a democratic pulse caused by the end of WWII and resulting period of prosperity. This thread is teaching me that there is at least one echo of that pulse in the US (millennials). I'm not convinced that humans are r-strategists, though, or that there's an intrinsic generational oscillation in our total population. Should I be?
