@starbreaker also according to that, our first president, Barack Obama, is a Baby Boomer. I'm sorry I can't accept that.

@jannamark I can, given that he was a neoliberal stooge preying on our audacity to hope he would live up to the hype. :)

@starbreaker @jannamark

That seems off. Obama was gen jones. We differ from boomers. (thank god)

@starbreaker @generica That makes sense. Boomers are supposed to be part of the WWII post war baby boom, children of the so-called Greatest Generation.

When me and my husband came along, both of us had fathers in the Korean War, so we're children of the Silent Generation.

@starbreaker Well there is that, and obviously in any other country than ours, he would have run as a moderate conservative, and all that, but mostly, it's because I have been pinning my claim to being not a Boomer on Obama's birthday.

@trwnh Our entire fucking civilization is made up and a marketing ploy.

@starbreaker So, what's before the Silent Generation? Both my grandmothers were born before '28.

@KnotKnormal The article didn't say. Depression era, maybe?

@starbreaker I've heard of the Lost Generation, maybe that was them?
