"Boomer" is a colloquial term used to refer to members of the Baby Boomer generation, which includes individuals born between 1946 and 1964. This generation is characterized by a significant increase in birth rates following World War II, leading to a demographic shift in many countries, particularly in the United States. Boomers are often associated with cultural and social changes, including the rise of rock and roll music, the civil rights movement, and the women's liberation movement. As they age, Boomers are also noted for their impact on the economy and healthcare systems, as they represent a large segment of the population entering retirement.
