While we talk about the boom as encompassing 1946 to 1964, demographers note that it really began mid-1946 and ended mid-1964. Harris, born in Oct 1964, can therefore fairly be described as Gen X.

I am ever so slightly older than Harris and identify as Gen X, so she must be too.

Thank you for this. I am an October 64 baby and have NEVER felt like a boomer. Now I have proof.

Your book may cover this but, demographers notwithstanding, it’s hard to consider anyone who was still a teenager when MTV existed a Baby Boomer. Culturally, the children of ‘61-‘64 were the advance guard of Gen-X.

What we know for certain, is she's a cop.

I’ve heard Baby Boom officially “ended” June 30, 2024 so as of Sunday, all boomers are at least 60 years old.

It's not like you wrote a book about it or anything.
