That’s cos the kids posting this stuff aren’t smart enough to tell the difference. For them “boomer” is just a term for anyone older than themselves and I wouldn’t be surprised to see it starting being used for millennials.
the whole concept of categorizing everyone by 2 decade increments at birth is stupid….
the Boomer generation made sense as there was an event that cause a baby boom and such….
there’s no single thing that ties gen x, millennials, zoomers or whatever together….
….
i am somewhat fond of the “oregon trail” generation for everyone that remembers playing that game on computers in elementary school….
and the whole information age coming online was a big unifying event for the kids growing up in it, distinct from previous and future humans….
….
but like, “people born from 1980-2000” is absolute horseshit and just another way “the man” uses to divide and conquer us.
Yeah, if we’re going to assume that an entire age cohort is some sort of philosophical and political monoblock, we should at least get the cohort right.
Judging by the car in the background, these are not boomers, but gen-xers.
Shhhhh! We don’t exist. Remember?!

Boomer is a state of mind.
Might as well be at this point.
I mean it has been since “OK Boomer” became a thing.
