'Boomer' is supposed to be an insult, after the boomers are the silent generation who were born before the war or during and they are also being lumped in, it's ignorance really, and just a pathetic way to attack people, basically gen x, baby boomer and silent gen are all boomers in some peoples eyes, and yes 4 to 19 are gen Z, not millennials at all

My 11 year old nephew thinks he's a millennial and my brother (his dad) is a boomer, neither are correct, in fact at 43 my brother is much closer to being a millennial than my nephew
