Boomers is short for Baby Boomers which were literally the babies born after WW2 vets came home and had families. I don’t know why your misinformed comment has so many upvotes
What’s the fact you’re objecting to? The only thing wrong is Trump as a Silent as he’s born in the very first year of the Boomers. Everything else is following the common definitions.
You might be right there. I’m German. And many a man did come back later, after the war, here. A lot of refugees were forcefully relocated from what is today Poland. Also a lot of POWs came back long after the war was over. So the baby boom was a bit delayed over here.
Huh? I’m saying Trump is Boomer because Boomers start in 1946. And it goes to 1964, which is when the birth control pill was recognized as a contraceptive. I don’t know if X is defined by that in the same way Boomers are defined by a specific event, but it lines up precisely.

Then again, you’re a computer scientist, not an historian, and therefore excusable :p
It all depends on whether you start counting from 0 or 1!
Where does the common definition of ‘Boomer’ say it starts after 1946 (the year Trump was born) and stops with the birth control pill (1960)?
I have never seen such a definition anywhere. Certainly not one that says it starts at least two years after the end of WWII.

I guess you didn’t read down very far since it talks about multiple definitions.

You literally just asked about where the common definition came from. Read the first fucking paragraph man.
I did not ask anything. I certainly didn’t ask that:
Pretty amusing that you’re accusing me of not reading though.
You’re in the wrong fucking thread. Get it together before you go randomly aggro.
You, in the post I originally replied to:
Okay, sorry about that, but you’re still wrong because it’s anywhere between 1943 and “mid-1946” as per that Wikipedia page.
