Boomers are 1946-64, therefore the oldest boomer is 65.
“Boomers are 1946-64, therefore the oldest boomer is 65.”
That depends on whose definition you use. The authors who have written probably the most successful books on the topic of generational differences are Strauss and Howe, and they define the Boomer group as the cohort born from 1943 to 1960, who were too young to have any personal memory of World War II, but old enough to remember the postwar American High. I think that’s a fairer assessment, especially when you look at charts that show when the babies started coming.
