You can infer the age you entered society from the age you left the womb.
That doesn't work. Technically I'm a Boomer, but I act and think completely like a Gen-Xer.
In fact growing up I used to give Boomers crap myself, until I got more wise. They acted completely different from me, based on the times they grew up in.
I didnโt come up with the age range, but itโs been well established for a while now. Someone else told me about โGeneration Jonesโ, which is basically just the younger half of the Boomer generation I guess. I feel like thatโs splitting hairs, but who knows, maybe it makes some sort of sense to you?
The generally accepted window for Baby Boomers, despite horny soldiers being home from WW2 for many years after 1945, is the window written in the post.
So it takes 20 years for a sexed up WW2 vet to hop in the sack after returning from the war?
Fuck if I know, that's not what I'm speaking about.
You don't pop out of your mother's womb already programmed to have an understanding of the socieity that you live in. You learn as you go from external sources (parents, family, society) and you act a certain way at each milestone of your life (child, young teenager, older teenager, young adult, adult, middle aged, senior).
When we all judge someone by applying a generation label its done based on how they act/opine, and not the chronological date that they entered the World. There's a lag/delay from when a person starts to exist on this Earth to the time they form a personality and express said personality.
They did that for Gen Z, where itโs essentially the dividing line between people who were more or less cognizant when 9/11 happened, and those who werenโt.
