Baby boomers' long reign over the kingdom of American demographics has finally come to an end: Millennials have officially surpassed them as the largest living generation in the U.S. That's according to new population estimates released this month by the U.S. Census Bureau and analyzed by the Pew Research Center.

Baby boomers pretty much destroyed the world.

Sadly you are 100 percent true. This is good news for social security though. Well in s normal country it would be.

They will welcome the Donald.

I was born towards the tail end of the baby boomer era. You may be thinking more of the older half that was into all kinds of nonsense.

Good! A baby boomer vs. millennial flame war! Almost as useful as a Trump-Cruz war, and of course the all time winner: Prods vs. Papists.

Asinine comment. Hitler wasn't a boomer; Stalin wasn't a boomer; Mao wasn't a boomer; LBJ wasn't a boomer ...

Baby Boomers are ‘tached in the head...once they’re gone...all is well..

I’m a boomer and we’re taking our music with us when we go. All of it.

[txrefugee]

And we thought Baby Boomers were the Worst Generation…but they are the parents of Millennials and the apples only got more rotten as the new crop fell.

[dakine]

Except Music... carry on...

[Roccus]

...LBJ wasn't a boomer ...

...and it WASN'T boomers that elected him or the a$$ holes in Congress that passed the (not so) Great Society.

[Resolute Conservative]

Yeah those darn boomers gave us trips to the moon, oil indepedence (we don’t use it), modern computers, roaring economy, medical breakthroughs, voted for Reagan...

The millennials gave us Farcebook, Twitter, skinny jeans, political correctness, Starbucks, queer acceptance...

Yeah those boomers...

“I’m a boomer and we’re taking our music with us when we go. All of it.”

[Buckeye McFrog]

God Help Us All.

But he was the one who sent MILLIONS of boomers to Vietnam - including me - that MFer.

Most are illegals or visa holders.

"Baby boomers pretty much destroyed the world."

Hey, I am a boomer and I sadly agree with you. The leaders that my generation spawned have squandered the legacy left by Americans who survived the Great Depression and won the Second World War. The nation is now sinful, bankrupt, and corrupt. Not condemning all boomers, but may the next generation do a damn sight better.

LOL! I just bought a T-shirt that says, “I May Be Old But I Got To See All Of The Good Bands.” A female “senior” stopped me in Sam’s Club and said, “I love your shirt. I grew up in San Francisco.”
