I like to call them death waves because that is what we called them in Cities Skylines.
I think you may be looking for this: https://ourworldindata.org/births-and-deaths
A baby is the product of birth, the product of death is a corpse, so it’d be a corpse bloom.
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.
Death Boom sounds cooler
I agree 💀

Yes indeed
I mean, thats kind of taking the religious route.
Unless you’re claiming the greatest generation is coming back from the dead as zombies just to kill their children.
…which is totally a thing they would do.
Who’d have thought me being a tosser and replying to the wrong comment would spark such a theological debate!
Boomer death death boom.
Sick band name
It sounds like Guile’s special move for when someone’s royally pissed him off.
Darth Boomer: “No… I am your father.”
Luke Y-walker: “No, that’s not true! That’s impossible!”
But is there something cooler?
Boomer doom boom?
Corpse boom?
Grave Wave?
Morpheus toon makes room for the death boom.
Also ‘boom’ sounds a lot more fun, like a party with games or refreshments.
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.
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.
Starts with a “oh shit these old people have expensive healthcare needs!”, proceeds to “how the hell are we going to pay for their elder benefits?” (Social Security in the US), and eventually to “even their houses got gobbled up by the banks and private capital when they had to reverse mortgage their homes to pay off their medical bills and live out their final days…”
I think the deaths a little more spread out.
Yea, but it has more to do with baby boomers wrecking everything than anything else.
One can only hope.
Sure as fuck hope so
The “baby boom” happened between 1946 and 1964, an 18 year period. Not everyone will die within an 18 year period. Some have already passed, some will live into their 90’s and could be around until the 2060’s
Yes. We have been talking about it for 30 years at this point.
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.
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.
Sort of. You do get an increase in death rates decades later as people from a baby boom eventually die. However births tend to be in relative sync (closer together anyway) during a baby boom say over a period of a few years, while deaths are much more spread out maybe over a decade or more. That’s because other factors come into play such as individual health, and the differences in people of the same age’s health depending on economic state and lifestyle etc. In otherwords, lots of people may have been born in say 1945 but their deaths will be spread out over years because not everyone dies at the same age.
Many western countries are going through a period of natural population decline due to low birth rates and increasing death rates as baby boomers from 1945 onwards start dying. But those deaths are spread out, and somewhat offset by immigration. So yes more people are dying but populations are overall stable or even growing as immigrants flow in.
It’s normally thought of as more of a “baby bust” but same thing really, a big whack of old people around for a while.
Of the 76M Boomers born between '45 and '69, 64M are still alive. With a life expectancy of 85 and the first traumch entering their 80s this year, we would expect to see a rapid fall off in the population (or a rapid climb in life expectancy average) over the next decade
You have to be careful with life expectancy. The LE of someone who is already 80 is much higher than that of a newborn. There are actuary tables if you want to look for them.
