The term 'Many a Gen X-er Parent' refers to the Baby BOOMER generation, which is the demographic cohort born between 1946 and 1964. This generation is known for its large size and its influence on society, politics, and culture. They are often referred to as the 'Boomers' due to the post-World War II baby boom. The Boomers are now in their late 50s to early 70s and many of them are parents to Generation X, which is the demographic cohort born between 1965 and 1980.
