“Not really, the media is full of writers that create all kids of pet niches and various dates for boomers, but the real definition for the generation stays the same.”
What rubbish. Are you suggesting there’s a legal definition? Those dates are completely arbitrary. More babies born in 1946? Sure; more babies have always been born every year since America was created. Did the population suddenly decline after 1960? No. It’s grown exponentially.
One journalist writes it, so another one picks up the torch, and before you know it, people are defined by arbitrary years that have no basis.
Yeah, the Federal government and the United States Census Bureau, and the GAO is the source for that definition.
Not rubbish at all. The boomers have also been called "war babies" because of a boom in births after the WWII servicemen returned home from the war. And the biggest block of them returned in 1945 and 1946.
That's why the boomer generation begins in 1946. You really need to review history on this.
