Fully half of these are GenX. Boomers were complaining about Metallica and Red Hot Chili Peppers when I was in grade school.
I see increasingly "boomer" used to refer to anyone over 40. It seems the word is getting semantically decomposed from its original meaning referring to a specific generation to a new meaning referring to any age group 40-70 years old, regardless of when they were born. For instance, a Gen X friend of mine was complaining that her teenage niece called her a boomer.
GenX being conflated with boomers is so GenX. It's almost like they don't get enough recognition to be their own generation at all... something-something-the-whole-point....
