Generally, you'll see terms like "demographic collapse" instead, but yeah basically.

A lot of people were born during the immediate post-WWII years. Those people are now dying. Cause and effect.

    I mean, thats kind of taking the religious route.

    Unless you're claiming the greatest generation is coming back from the dead as zombies just to kill their children.

    ......which is totally a thing they would do.

    Kinda the ultimate name for a boomer shooter. And I just now realised how easily misinterpreted that name can be, had never thought of the "boomer" part as the generational term. It has no connection to that but I absolutely think many people think it does.

    The baby boom was ten years or so. The death boom is more spread out…people start dying in their 60s and can live into their 90s. So figure 30 years or so for the “boom.” Much harder to notice.
