Hmm...

You are watching an old movie on TV, a movie from before the war. It shows a banquet in progress; the guests are enjoying raw oysters. The entrée consists of boiled dog, stuffed with rice. Are raw oysters more acceptable to you than a dish of boiled dog?

Depends what they call a boomer... the goal posts have moved quite a bit over the years.

just how big is a "generation"? 20 years? 25? 60?

I used to not be a boomer and now I am?

It's all too vague and the modern generation is just too happy to apply labels to hate on others.

My father was a boomer and he died at about 100 a few years ago.

Boomers were born from 1945 to 1964. The oldest boomers are turning 80 this year.
Youngest are only 60, so there will still be many for several more decades.

See?

This is exactly what I mean ... someone born in 1923 was a boomer back then. Now it isn't.

These things are not set in stone even if you read it on wiki. This kind of labeling is just a waste of time. The time of being a boomer will just shift again.

The people born in and around the 1920's left their kids a world that they had fought for. They left a lot of good advice and examples for every type of person and situation. Then we got the boomers..

I'd say that millenials should probably take responsibility and fix everything.
