2. That's me, too...

Come September. Funny - I don't feel a day over 40. In fact, I feel better than I did at 40. The psychics tell me I'm going to live to be 93, so I've got a lot of good years ahead of me. I'm just getting started.

3. I define the baby boomers as born between 1941 and 1961

so they are turning 65 this year tanj it!

Is Bill Clinton turning 60 in August? It seems like just last year that I paid $57 to send him an email on his 57th birthday, but I suppose that was 2003.

5. It's usually considered the postwar babies, 1945-1964.

All the soldiers coming home, settling into newly built suburbs, and making lots of babies.

6. oh BS, they are just trying to make me a boomer

and I will not stand for it!!!!
1962 was 16 years after the war. My dad dodged the Korean war, he did not come home from WWII. I ain't any more of a post war baby than my niece is. After all, 1980 is post WWtoo II.

7. I didn't coin the term. I'm only a messenger.

A "generation" is often considered to be a span of about twenty years, from the time the first ones are born until they start having children of their own.

9. it's a wrong message

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baby_boomer

"William Strauss and Neil Howe, in their book Generations, include those conceived by soldiers on leave during the war, putting the generation's birth years at 1943 to 1960. Howe and Strauss argue that persons born between 1961 and 1964 have political and cultural patterns very different from those born between 1955 and 1960 and fit into what those writers term the Thirteenth Generation or Generation X (also known as the Cold War generation) born between 1961 and 1981. As the influence of Strauss and Howe has grown, a smaller number of people still accept Baby Boomers as including those born after 1961"

that number needs to get even smaller

13. Yeah, it's weird, isn't it? I've always heard the "conventional wisdom"

that the boomer generation was from 1946-1964, so I was interested to check out that link you posted. Being born in '64 makes me feel like I have more of an affinity with the "Generation X", though.

Sigh...it's sooo confusing.

Let's just say some days I feel older than others! heheh.

:hi:

14. Interestingly, I was born two years later than you, and don't feel AT ALL

like I fit with Generation X.

8. Baby boomers are definded as being born between 1946-1964.

Soldiers coming home from the second world war,is the reason for the boom,nine months after it ended. Not sure why the cut off is 1964.

[hfojvt]

10. the cut off needs to be pushed back

maybe even before 1960. edit: see my post and link above

Doesn't it make me younger to be one of the oldest members of Generation X? I think I have boomer values :hippie:
