That's cos the kids posting this stuff aren't smart enough to tell the difference. For them "boomer" is just a term for anyone older than themselves and I wouldn't be surprised to see it starting being used for millennials.

the whole concept of categorizing everyone by 2 decade increments at birth is stupid….
the Boomer generation made sense as there was an event that cause a baby boom and such….
there’s no single thing that ties gen x, millennials, zoomers or whatever together….
….
i am somewhat fond of the “oregon trail” generation for everyone that remembers playing that game on computers in elementary school….
and the whole information age coming online was a big unifying event for the kids growing up in it, distinct from previous and future humans….
….
but like, “people born from 1980-2000” is absolute horseshit and just another way “the man” uses to divide and conquer us.
