To: Appalled but Not Surprised

Sorry to break it to you, but 1946-1964 is the Boom. You're a boomer whether you like it or not.

Those dates keep changing! Once, I was just on the outside of the Baby Boom. Now, I'm solidly in the end of it. Make up your mind, sociologists! I can't seem to find my identity.

:-p

The 1964 cut-off is used when Boomers want to seem bigger than they are, to pad their resumes (as usual).

Most socialogists will place the cultural cut-off date at 1960. The most descriptive term currently used for the 1960-1968 cohort is called "Tweeners" (between Gen-X and Boomer), which more closely mirrors those of us that grew up in the shangri-la of post-Vietnam, post-Summer-of-Love Jimmy Carter Malaise America.

If you ever want proof, play a game of Trivial Pursuits, Baby Boomer Edition with someone born in 1964. They don't know who the hell Sky King was, don't know what the Micky Mouse Club was, and were toddlers when Kennedy was shot.

Not Boomers.
