Not certain of your point. But to clarify...

Boomers are currently old, sure. But boomers were also boomers when they were 20 and 30 years old, 50 or so years ago. The relationship to age is only just timing.

You don't get old then become a boomer, a boomer was a boomer their entire life. A boomer has nothing at all to do with age. It has everything to do with what year you were born.

A millennial will be a millennial their entire life. They don't become boomers either. A gen x is a gen x for life, from the time they were born until they're old and decrepit and finally die. They'll never be boomers either.

A lot of people seem to think Boomer means old person. It does not. That's only because they're mistaken.

That misunderstanding seems to be due to timing only...the rise of social media, coincidentally with the simultaneous generational battle of millennial vs Boomer.

The battle is always going to be young vs old, and those labels of generations will constantly change. We are rounding the bend to where the phrase "OK, boomer" no longer applies.
