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.
