Baby Boomers Recognition Day 2022

So August 17 is said to bring us Baby Boomers Recognition Day. Though I am a boomer the day is somewhat anticlimactic for me personally because I cannot relate to the reason stated for the day upon which it is held.

Boomers are said to be those individuals born between 1946 and 1964. They came about due to the increased births after World War II and the great depression.

Seems that the passing of those events made everyone decide they needed to lay around and breed.

There is some confusion regarding the actual day. I've seen source materials stating August 16 and others stating August 17. I suppose that too is a function of the advancing age and declining mental capacity of the baby boomers in general.

Regardless, the day is said to have been selected because it is inclusive of those days in which Woodstock was held.

Woodstock has never meant anything to me personally. Thusly, I shall never recognize the day again.

Yeah, these days need to both be hammered down across references to them and not recognize some irrelevant musical concert which was primarily a nasty no hygiene drug riddled goings on anyway.

Don't call me a boomer anymore.
