Generally, you’ll see terms like “demographic collapse” instead, but yeah basically.
A lot of people were born during the immediate post-WWII years. Those people are now dying. Cause and effect.
The baby boom was ten years or so. The death boom is more spread out…people start dying in their 60s and can live into their 90s. So figure 30 years or so for the “boom.” Much harder to notice.
We just want them to give us their houses.
Nah, they have a reverse mortgage on them so you’ll need to buy them at further inflated prices because of it. Your inheritance was just debt and crippling depression.
Best we can do is a huge wave of reverse mortgages and Medicaid seizures due to end of life medical bills.
To an extent, COVID hit some of the oldest boomers - it was a little early, if we had held of COVID for another 10 years it definitely would have been a prime boomer expiration accelerator.
As things are, my parents are some of the earliest boomers and they’re just turning 80. The death-rate boom should be picking up speed soon. Too bad they’re giving all their acumumulated wealth to the healthcare industry instead of their kids.
Death Boom sounds cooler
I agree 💀
But is there something cooler?
Corpse boom?
Grave Wave?
Boomer doom boom?
It sounds like Guile’s special move for when someone’s royally pissed him off.
Kinda the ultimate name for a boomer shooter. And I just now realised how easily misinterpreted that name can be, had never thought of the “boomer” part as the generational term. It has no connection to that but I absolutely think many people think it does.
Darth Boomer.
“No… I am your father.”
Luke Y-walker: “No, that’s not true! That’s impossible!”
Morpheus toon makes room for the death boom.
Also ‘boom’ sounds a lot more fun, like a party with games or refreshments.
It’s going to be a lot cooler, too… On average these people have destroyed the world at a higher rate than those before them.
Death Boom sounds cool but the opposite would be “Birth Boom”.
I think it should be “Corpse Boom”.
I remember seeing “papy boom” in some French school books.
Sick band name
Dammit, you beat me too it
Boomer death death boom.
Sure as fuck hope so
Yeah, it’s already happening in places like Japan but what’ll really do it in for everyone is WW3. Any day now and Trump will cause it. I’d wage money but we all know once that starts, currency won’t be worth damn.
One can only hope.
We had one in 2020 and 2021
Yea, but it has more to do with baby boomers wrecking everything than anything else.
Hating on everyone from a race or gender: ❌️
Hating on everyone from a generation: 👌
The ruling class owned and controlled media has been peddling intergenerational conflict for decades, and millenials remember it well, all of the news articles about how millenials are causing all of society’s problems.
We need to realize that it was always a psyop to divide us. From boomers to zoomers, the working class must stand together in solidarity against the elite pedophile billionaire cabal running the planet.
We need to come together but in terms of convincing the Baby Boomers, it’s a server uphill battle that’ll get worse as they age. They had so much environmental lead that as they age it’s seeping out form their bones. I don’t know if there’s more recent studies on it but it’s not NOT having an effect.
I made some parody comments about the ruling class in some other threads, and I thought this response was to one of those.
Do you disagree? If so, why? Curious to hear your thoughts.
People write those articles because the readers want to believe it. They write the article. They get positive reviews or, since most news moved to the internet, clicks. As people read such articles, they come to believe in it and will be interested in more such articles in the future.
The people who do the research and polling on generational opinions also are more likely to continue when it brings them attention.
It’s simple human nature and some activities getting rewarded and therefore are repeated. It requires no secret cabal nor centralized control. It’s driven by the invisible hand and societal evolution.
Don’t worry, you’ll be able to censor stuff like that if your guys get power.
Americans can’t afford nursing homes and elder care.
So, afraid death it is. Hope there’s no reverse mortgage for any of you to deal with.
I guess two world wars, the plague and COVID perhaps would be a death boom?
Wars are bad, but the pan-epidemics are the real killers.
A baby is the product of birth, the product of death is a corpse, so it’d be a corpse bloom.
I think you may be looking for this: https://ourworldindata.org/births-and-deaths
This website keeps coming up. They do a great job.
I like to call them death waves because that is what we called them in Cities Skylines.
We generally call those wars and plagues.
Famines.
Pestilence, even
It has already started.
The worst part of WWIII will be the second wave boomers, because they’ll trigger WWIV when they age out of relevancy.
