You continue to mock and belittle me and yet the depth of your knowledge on this subject apparently goes no further than the first couple of results from a Google search. I merely noted that the definition of Baby Boomer had changed. I was trying to point out something that I thought was interesting. You have gone on the attack over it.
The person who originally coined the term Baby Boomer was Landon Jones in his book Great Expectations: America and the Baby Boom Generation. Mr. Jones defined defined the term Baby Boom Generation as being from 1943 to 1960. Authors William Strauss and Neil Howe, who are responsible for their generational theory, also define Boomers as those of us born from 1943 to 1960. The initially characterized boomers as those of us who “were too young to have any personal memory of World War II, but old enough to remember the postwar American High.”
I was trying to be polite and accommodating when I mentioned that the definition had changed. The Census Bureau, and the GAO are not the ones who came up with the term Baby Boomer. The authors I mentioned are the one who originally defined the term and popularized it. The next time you decide that you are so much more knowledgeable than everyone else because of your Googling ability why don't you actually try to dig just a little bit deeper. You might actually learn something.
No, I have been through this before over the years about the boomer definition, origins, etc.
It bores me to have to deal with posters that want to get off into irrelevant trivia, a little post is one thing, but to get off the subject and deep into useless trivia is a waste of my time.
