Yes, you can find all kinds of”crap” on the internet, a vast collection of various individual definitions and niche definitions, if there is no definition, then there is no discussion, you are right about Gen X though, it isn’t well defined yet, but boomer is.

As you can see, the most accepted definition of boomer is the government’s, 1946-1964, it is the one used in all real discussion of the generation by the census bureau, congress, the GAO, and the large elements of the private sector that need to use a definition that agrees with all of the massive governmental agencies and policies, and research and data collection, Gen X seems to be less pinned down, but boomers are very well defined.

The boom had stopped booming. Where you slice the "beginning" of the "bust" is open to interpretation.

You refuse to call 18-year olds and even 35 year olds adults. You slice it at 1984 before "the Baby Boom came of age".

I guess the 1970s were all a bad dream.
