Meh. All the teachers, parents, and misc authority figure zoomers keep calling boomers are gen X and millennials.

Boomers are from the post World War II "baby boom" in times of peace and stability, 1945 onward. Both my parents are Boomers born in 1946, 74 years old - the maximum age for Boomers.
1901 to 1927 Greatest Generation
1928 to 1945 Silent Generation
1946 to 1964 Baby boomers
1965 to 1980 Generation X
1981 to 1996 Millennials (Gen Y)
1997 to 2012 Generation Z
2013 to mid-2020s Generation Alpha
Major generations of the Western world
2013 seems noteworthy as an interesting new propaganda era with the passing of the 2013 NDAA.
I don't know if COVID is making less or more babies. People aren't hooking up, yet couples have more time at home. The ideal time to have children is when the birthrate is low. Stuffed schools don't give kids as much attention nor resources. They don't demolish all the schools when fewer children attend, rather they focus the plentiful resources on the kids that are present. (Not Bueller.)
I just turned 50, a phrase that seems far too alien coming from me. That seems, and is, crazy old, yet I still like glitch hop and bro step, drugs (been too long and can't afford them), and fine girls (even if they don't like me). I lost a dozen years and almost my life due to Big Pharma poisons in an era that's a fog when I did anything but mature, and I certainly lost any chance at a family (and responsibility). I'm a 37 year old trapped in an old Dad bod. I crawled out alive, but like an ex-con who served a sentence, I have few prospects.

What's significant about the 2013 NDAA?
Funny you should point that year out though, because that's the exact year I'd say things started to get weird.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Defense_Authorization_Act_for_Fiscal_Year_2013
What Wikipedia won't tell you is that the Smith–Mundt Modernization Act of 2012 repeals it. After WWII they made domestic propaganda illegal. Sure they do it to other nations, but not to Americans (allegedly - of course they always lie). 2013+ they've no longer had any limits to perform domestic psyops - including the fake Boston Bombing, all those lone shooters, the rise of "fake news", Russiagate, etc etc etc.

Yeah, it's weird. If there's a generation to point to, it's zoomers; yet the media always says millennials. I'm 32 and it seems to be people about 5 years younger than I am and down who are the real zealots. That covers like 1/10th of millennials depending on the age range you consider millennial.

I highly doubt that a single boomer cares if you call him a snowflake.

I'm a boomer and I approve this message.
