    I don’t understand, are you confused at the age range for Boomers? It literally says it in the image

      Yes. Didn’t notice those dates. Still makes no sense if you take the name literally though

        You’re wrong chronologically, but you’re right based on how those labels are used to judge people’s social values.

          So it takes 20 years for a sexed up WW2 vet to hop in the sack after returning from the war?

            Fuck if I know, that’s not what I’m speaking about.

            You don’t pop out of your mother’s womb already programmed to have an understanding of the socieity that you live in. You learn as you go from external sources (parents, family, society) and you act a certain way at each milestone of your life (child, young teenager, older teenager, young adult, adult, middle aged, senior).

            When we all judge someone by applying a generation label its done based on how they act/opine, and not the chronological date that they entered the World. There’s a lag/delay from when a person starts to exist on this Earth to the time they form a personality and express said personality.

      I get where they’re coming from.

      The starting point is normally defined at the time you came out of your mother’s womb, but it really shouldn’t be.

      It should be started at the point where you first enter society as a child, and start learning your generation’s societal values.

      Basically, when you started kindergarten, or Elementary School.

        They did that for Gen Z, where it’s essentially the dividing line between people who were more or less cognizant when 9/11 happened, and those who weren’t.
