    I think the reality is, “boomer” as a term is here to stay and a moving target: as gen x ages into 40+

    This is a nitpick, but gen x moved into the 40+ age group long ago. As a gen Xer I’ll be in my 50’s later this year. 🤮

    And yeah, doom is peak Gen X probably.

      In fact, millennials have begun turning 40 already. Not everybody agrees on generation cutoffs, but I don’t think there’s anyone who considers someone born in 1984 to still be Gen X.
