Baby Boomers, AKA: Boomers, are the demographic following the Silent Generation and preceding Generation X. The birth years of Boomers start from 1946 to 1964. Boomer can also refer to someone born 2 generations before someone.
Boomers grew up with basically everything handed to them, but as they grew older, attributed most of their success to themselves.
Boomers tend to believe that every conflict or issue can be solved with hard work, a 'firm handshake', and a smile. And you can neutralize or solve any bad situation by simply being nice and expressing yourself. Boomers also believe that being a nice gentleman will automatically attract women in modern dating spheres.
Boomers see children both as an expression of their love towards their partner and as pets, a direction and source of direct emotional affection, to be given free reign within their own economic system.
Because of this hyper-focus on direct emotional affection rather than other forms of support, children of boomers receive little to no financial compensation for their existence, work, or activities. This may partly explain the socialist/capitalist divide between millennials and boomers.
Boomers educated the previous generations to think of themselves as special, and opportunity is only granted through 'hard work'. They often endorse their sons, and grandsons to move into the 'big city' and 'make it big', instead of keeping them humble. They perceive success in terms of material wealth, those who have the biggest house and the fastest cars 'win'.
Boomers are known to patronize younger people for being lazy and irresponsible. However, many, if not most boomers are overweight, in debt, or simply dumb.
They always use the excuse of "well, it's just because I'm older now, but back in my day..." which is a non-argument because you can't fact-check "back in my day" arguments.
Boomers also naively support ideologies and policies that restrict our freedoms and take our rights away, thinking that they're more enlightened and progressive.
