If my mom was 54 last year(2018) and now 55 in 2019 is she a boomer now? Read the description! ?

All I can say is your poor mother has an idiot for a child!

This whole "boomer" thing is getting so out of hand, and teenagers don't even understand the meaning of it, they just slapped label on it without understanding. A "baby boomer"is a child(ren) born after the wars between the 1940's to mid 1960's, its when the hubands returned home and had sex with their wives.

Your mother is in the last year of boomers.

And YOU are as shallow as a sheet of paper. What a stupid thing to be ashamed of. 

The baby boom generation began in 1945 and ended in 1964. That means your mom is considered to be a late, or young, baby boomer. And the term "generation" refers to a period of twenty years, NOT thirty.

People born prior to 1945 are considered to be members of the so called "greatest generation". They grew up in or came of age in the 1930's and 1940's, just in time to fight in World War II. My grandparents belonged to this generation- all of them. My parents are also members of this generation. They are in their 70's and 80's now.

Anyone born from 1965 through 1980 is a member of Generation X. The Gen X generation is made up of people in their 50's, although some of the younger members may still be in their late 40's or about to turn 50.

Anyone born from 1981 through 2000 is a Millennial. Most of the Millennials are in their 30's, some of the oldest ones are in their early 40's by now. The two royal princes in Britain, William and Harry, are both members of the Millennial generation.

Lastly, anyone born from 2001 until the present is a member of Generation Y. This is the generation which is largely made up of today's high school and college age kids. My nephews belong to this generation, as do the children of most of my high school and college classmates.

I have to wonder why you hate your mom's birth year so much. It doesn't mean she's old. 50 isn't considered old, not any more. True, she has probably gone through menopause by now, but that doesn't mean she's in danger of dying any time soon. And even in this day and age, it's extremely UNUSUAL for a teenager to have parents who are in their 30's. My nephews' parents (who are my siblings) are all in their 50's. They're still very much in their prime. So I don't get what you're so upset about. So your mom is 55. So what. Lots of kids your age have parents that age. It's not a big deal.

You need to suck it up.

Getting older doesn't actually change what "generation" someone belongs to.

The "boomer" generation is 1946 to 1964 

Her birth year is 1964 which means she has ALWAYS been a boomer.

Now, since she was born in the last year before the generational change to Gen X, she probably does seem more like a Gen X than a boomer.

In my family, my siblings are all boomers and I am 12 years  younger than they are.  I am a Gen X.  There is a HUGE difference between me and my older siblings.

But, I would think that there wouldn't be that much difference in just one year - so the last few years of "boomers" would share a lot in common with the first few years of "Gen X".  

What you actually hate is that you have an older parent compared to many of your other friends.   

She wasn't born in 1994.. She was born in the 1960's.

According, to your numbers - your mother was born in 1964.  Yes, she is a Boomer and there is nothing wrong with that - in fact, Boomers obey laws and only listen to the truth.......plus, great work ethics.  

Is she was born in 1994 she’s the same age as me sweetheart. I can promise i’m not a boomer. My parents are considered boomers but my parents are already grand parents, it’s expected for them to be boomers already

At her age, shes either a young boomer, or an older gen x.
The generations do overlap a little..  Your birth year does not literally set in stone which generation gap you belong to.

I was born in 1981, but I am a gen Xer..   Not a millennial.


"Boomers" are called boomers because they are part of the "baby boom" that happened after the war. 

Your mom is in fact a "baby boomer" by only the last year.  (Those born from 1946 to 1964)  Be grateful you have a caring mom. Wouldn't you rather have an older/wiser mom that loves you rather than a young jerk mom that ignores their kid?

Why should you even care about what era she was born? Are you being teased in school for this?  Sounds like you are. So if it matters, YOUR mom is much smarter than the other kid's moms as she has 10 to 15 years of life and education on them. The other moms probably go to HER for advice..AND being in her fifties, she was BRAVE enough to give birth to you in 2005 when she could have just aborted you. If she is a single mom thank your lucky stars that she loved you enough to keep you, love you and take care of you. In another 6 years when you are twenty you will not care how old she is. But wouldn't it be wonderful if you knew this now?

A Family generation is a period of roughly 
30ys give or take IO either way it has nothing 
to do w/ said date of when you're born !!

The quick answer is "just" -- baby boomers stretch from about 1946 to 1964. So, they started having babies (gen X) after 1964. As such, she's have a lot of gen X characteristics.

 "Boomer" is an informal term for "baby boomer", a person born during the baby boom (sharp increase in birthrates due to soldiers returning home from the war and also due to improved economic conditions) after World War II; or the people born in the generation between Aug.1945 and Dec. 1965. (Some say "boomers" are people born during the 10 years between 1945 and 1955).  
If your mom was 55 years old in 2019, that means she was born in 1964. She was born almost too late to now be considered a member of the 'baby boom' generation. The 'baby boom' was practically over before she was born.  
"Generation X" is the generation born after that of the baby boomers. They are typically perceived to be disaffected and directionless.
