We have to start adopting more accurate terminology for demographics. Most boomers are in their 70s and 80s. The 'boomer' shortcut has outlived it's usefulness. I'm a 'young' boomer at 68.

I saw a lot of these so-called boomers at J6. Except that they were in their 30s and 40s. Boomers ain't scaling walls no more.

Yeah, there’s people other than boomers, there’s gen Jones, Gen X, millennials and Gen Z zoomers
