And quite a few people disagree, saying it's '43 to '60. It appears the social security people are among that group. :p

Any definitions of the Baby Boomers that have a date of conception preceding V-E day are pretty silly.

the injured came home early and ushered in the new america, popping out kids, starting construction companies, buying land, and pushing higher education. anything after '43 should be reasonable.

There wasn't any construction going on that wasn't for the War Department. As a matter of fact if something wasn't part of the war effort it just didn't happen until VE day and then only a little before VJ day. Therefore they had plenty of time for poppin' out babies.
Boomer is a much shortened version of what was originally Post War Baby Boom. Shortening the name shouldn't alter the original definition, but with the rate that history is being rewritten these days, Who knows.
