Which implies there were hopes associated with the group that will never be realized.

Wat? We're literally keeping this fricking ship afloat right now until the boomers die off and the Millenials get their shite together.

Boomers end around 1960 or 1964 depending on whose criteria you use. Its pretty fluid too. You might be the child of a WWII veteran but born after 1964. Are you a Boomer or an Xer?

I always get a good laugh at the boomer vs millennial threads around here. They are cut from the same cloth and absolutely can not stand it. Gen X holds down the damn fort. One hand is getting after the plow and the other has a middle finger in the air.

GenX is loosely defined as people that are currently 35-55. You'll see dates that vary slightly but roughly people born from '62-'82.
