Someday kids will understand when the baby boomers were actually born.
Or, I guess OP is a middle-aged person complaining about his elderly parents being on a phone app.
I mean, I'm only 30 and my parents are boomers. They weren't even that old when they had me. - I'd imagine there's plenty of early-20's kids running around with boomer parents.
Early 20's here with 65y/o parents 👋
65 y/o is gen x no? boomers would be from the end of ww2 to the civil rights act wouldn't they... oh i guess that's like 60 to 80
all this time i thought my parents were gen x... but they're actually boomers!
My mom's one of the youngest boomers, born in December 1964. She's 59. Still fits the boomer stereotype to a T, though.
how can she be 59 if she was born in 64?
edit: I'm stupid, I was sure 2024 was last year...
i cant do maths apparently
It's okay. This year is aging in dog years.
🤦
born between 46 and 64 according to wikipedia.
Meaning the last boomer will turn 60 just this year.
