Officially the oldest Boomer was born in 1946. They would be 72. Ended in 1955 so do the math.

Damn Google. You found the right answer and I found the wrong one. Good for you. Have a cookie.

Yeah but it probably should be about '54 or so. People born '45-'55 (or about) became adults in the '60's, and those of us born after grew up in the '70. Very different generations. We already thought the '60's kids were weird in the '70's. And a lot of their music already seemed ancient. Peter, Paul and Mary? Simon and Garfunkel? gtfo. The Beatles were long gone, so were the Doors. Sure some acts like the Who and Dylan and the Stones carried through but who the fuck was the Kingston Trio?
We were Skynyrd and Talking Heads and the Ramones and the Clash and a shit ton more.
Us '70's kids get ignored, there's not even a name for us, but we're cool with it because that's how we always rolled, and we pretty much kicked ass. Fuck a bunch of boomers and everyone else.

Um, when did "vaping" become synonomous with smoking weed?
I have been under the impression that vaping = smoking scented fake tobacco from those annoying pens and things that look like Star Trek communicators....
Everybody I know that smokes weed, actually, you know, smokes weed. They don't vape.
What the f%^k happened to bongs and joints?

I don't think they were any tougher but what boomers had more than anything was opportunity, there is no way i could have what i have now with how little effort i put into it but not everybody necessarily recognised what was in their own best interest
America was untouched by war unlike yurp where was all kinds of destruction had happened
There were good jobs so your parents could afford to live in the suburbs and have 3 kids and own a nice Chevrolet
boomers were born in the post war boom, not sure why they say boomers ended in 64 ?Lee Lau - xxx-er is the laziest Asian canuck I know

why does the baby boomer generation suck so bad
Credit to the boomers. They did their early adulthood through probably the longest and toughest inflationary economies from 1973-83.
Unemployment never went below 6% and peaked at 11%. That period in entirety is much worse than the 2008 recession period.
Although, it was largely the boomers from 1980 to the present that have borrowed and levered up on the backs of their children.

You know those two observations are highly correlated, right. The collapse helped some with long careers and perfect timing by fortune. Many more saw the company go bankrupt and renege on the promised benefits people worked and planned on in meetings with their planners for decades.
You guys are so dumb you let us elect trump, IMO. Anyway, I hear composting is going to be big. Big, I tell ya Jerry.A few people feel the rain. Most people just get wet.

Are you explaining the science of giving nicknames to groups of people Doc?
dunfree I was just trying to name bands that represented the zeitgeist as I experienced it. Now everything's so splintered, except Pop, and robots make that already.
