It appears a 56 yr old would be the youngest of the boomers
My point is that categorizing people based on the year they were born is dumb, especially since the actual birth years seems to differ based on the source:
Howe and Strauss
Neil Howe and William Strauss define generational cohorts in the U.S. from 1900 on as follows.
2000–: New Silent Generation or Generation Z
1980 to 2000: Millennials or Generation Y
1965 to 1979: Thirteeners or Generation X
1946 to 1964: Baby Boomers
1925 to 1945: the Silent Generation
1900 to 1924: the G.I. Generation
Population Reference Bureau
The Population Reference Bureau provides an alternate listing and dates of generation names, showing that the lines that separate each generation are not necessarily concrete.1
1997 to 2012: Generation Z
1981 to 1996: Millennials
1965 to 1980: Generation X
1946 to 1964: Baby Boomers
1928 to 1945: the Silent Generation
Center for Generational Kinetics
The Center for Generational Kinetics lists the following five generations who are currently active in America's economy and workforce.2 They use trends of parenting, technology, and economics to determine the dates of each generation.
1996–: Gen Z, iGen, or Centennials
1977 to 1995: Millennials or Gen Y
1965 to 1976: Generation X
1946 to 1964: Baby Boomers
1945 and before: Traditionalists or the Silent Generation
