Is a Boomer anyone born before 1970, 1980, or 1990? Let's get the bracket set, please?
Obviously all generational boundaries are "arbitrary", at least to a degree.
However, "the Baby Boom" is generally the generation of Americans (and thus, the world) born immediately after the conclusion of WWII, sometimes arbitrarily at 1/1/1946 (with children born during the years of the war thus deemed part of the prior, "Silent Generation") through sometime in the early/mid 1960s - sometimes set at Kennedy's Assassination, sometimes set at Beatlemania - but generally through 1963, 1964 or, maybe, 1965.
Then, after the Boomers came Gen X - widely accepted to run from the end of the Boom through Reagan (approximately).

It’s so easy to secure lucrative, full-time employment right now

Some people take responsibility for thier own lives, and are successful. Then there are people like you, who fail and blame everyone else for your own failures.

As of 2024/2025, they are generally between their early 60s and late 70s.

Taxpayers paid for your training.

But I bet you don't want the government to pay for anyone else to go to college.
Sounds like you benefited tremendously from government programs and you're fussing at other people because they can't find a job or pay for college.
I had a scholarship that paid for undergrad, so this isn't a personal grievance. I've always been tenacious and high-achieving so I was able to secure a job before graduating from college in 2009. Even during times when I didn't have a full-time "real" job, I had no problem waiting tables or nannying to pay my bills. That doesn't invalidate the struggle and desolation that many others in my generation, and subsequent generations are experiencing.

I’m going to let someone else castigate you over this asinine statement. If you don’t understand the difference…. Shame on you.

Boomers were born roughly between 1945 and 1965.
Sort of... I was born in 64 and I am not a boomer.
Boomer we're kids from all the vets that came home from WWII and we had a mass of babies born. They went baby boom.
But in WWII my dad was 6... so actually I came from the next generation from WWII and wasn't the kid born from a horney WWII Vet.
SO I fall under dateline, but an actual generation behind.
Your dates are NOT wrong though.

There’s a better argument to cut off the birth year for Boomers at 1957.
True. The original idea of boomers was the high number of WWII soldiers coming home, getting married and having kids. A soldier coming home in 1945 was not waiting 20 years to have a kid in 1965.

Breeding and producing weak cocksuckers like you were our biggest mistake.
We built a great nation, only to have your shite stain of a generation go woke on us.
frick you. The only thing more worthless than your sorry arse generation, are the weak little bastard spawn you produced. The ones cutting off their own dicks.
Blame the previous generation because you don't have the sack to make it on your own.
