Oldest boomers turn 80 in 2026. Some boomers aren’t even 64 years old yet as generation ends in 1964.
Voting age was 21 before the 26th amendment was adopted in 1970.
Almost no boomers have been voting for 64 years.
I just want to show society what people born after 1960 think about things… We’re sick of stupid labels, we’re sick of being marginalized in lousy jobs, and we’re tired of hearing about ourselves from others
— Coupland, Boston Globe, 1991
