Baby boomer is a term used to describe a person who was born during the Post-World War II baby boom between 1946 and the early 1960s.

Joseph Epstein is sometimes credited for coining the term in 1982.[4] However, an early printed appearance of the word is in a May 1980 Chicago magazine article by Dan Rottenberg.[5] In 1983, the term gained currency in United States when syndicated newspaper columnist Bob Greene published a story about a business networking group founded in 1982 by the former radical leader Jerry Rubin, formerly of the Youth International Party (whose members were called yippies); Greene said he had heard people at the networking group (which met at Studio 54 to soft classical music) joke that Rubin had "gone from being a yippie to being a yuppie".

"'Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, "WOW! What a ride!"'
