Yeah. Seems so many nom-boomer leaders like Trudeau and Macron etc are pushing vaccines etc. And many young millennials are afraid to leave their houses. Yeah, some boomers are in this category. But not all of us. Since March 2020 I’ve travelled from Canada to Asia, back to Canada, to the US, to Brazil twice, and most recently to Bali, where I am now. Yesterday I bought my ticket to Brazil where I go next month before returning to Indonesia. But as you say, boomers gonna boom! I’m not staying put. I’m not vaccinated. What are you doing?
I’m not touchy at all. I just think grouping people all in one category based on the fact they were born in a 15-20 year period is silly. Like someone born in 1963 or 1964 is a boomer and gets lumped in with someone from 1946 or 1948 or 1950 as a ‘boomer’ rather than a Gen x born in 1965 or 1968. It’s useless categorization.
Again, it's a silly category. Technically my kids were raised by a boomer (me - 1963) and my wife (gen x - 1966). I think I have little in common with boomers born in the mid- 1940s or the 1950s, who I consider an ealier generation. And my four kids wouldn't categorize us based on these American media-led categories. (Kids were not born or raised in Canada or the US).
