Yeah, unfortunately that's what the word "boomer" has become. Also everyone talks about boomers, millenials, gen z, apparently people forgot there was a generation between boomers and millenials.
Anyway: it doesn't really matter because this "generations" split is bullshit. The cut-off dates are arbitrary, and there are all kind of people in all generations.
- the__alchemist 1y agoThat caught me with the article! I'm younger than the author, and assumed millenials were people younger than me. (That's how it was used at the time), and that people who are 34-45 right now don't have a named gen.
- yencabulator 1y ago34-45 now = born 1980-1991 = millennial https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennials https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennials
- eesmith 1y agoFor what it's worth, I don't think the author quite has it right other. The philippic leads with a clip of Sophia Petrillo, from the TV show Golden Girls. According to the show, she was born in 1905 or 1905. The actor who portrayed her, Estelle Getty, was born in 1923. Either date makes her a member of the so-called Greatest Generation, after which is the Silent Generation, and only then reaching the Baby Boomers.
