BBC have deboomerised me.

I thought boomers were up to 1964, BBC news had an article about "Alphas". In which boomers were designated as born between 1940 and 1960, so I am an "X" now. Given the resentments that exist towards "Boomers", maybe it is for the best.

But that was also me and my cousins and we are supposed to be Baby boomers

That’s it I think there’s not that much difference necessarily tbh between early 70s born and 60s/50s born boomers

I can't find anything on the BBC News site about this..

But anyway, whilst I (born early 60's) was growing up, the 1960s were never considered part of the Baby Boom generation and I certainly don't feel in the least like (what I consider) a typical 'Boomer'.
Not quite sure I feel a Generation X either though, but there is far more more connection with them than with someone born in the 40's.

Boomer generation refers to the baby boom following WW2 so I don’t see how it can include anyone born in the 60s or 70s.

It doesn’t include anyone born after 1964.

I kind of think this too even though it technically extends to 64
