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 💀

I agree Deleted makes sense
Darth Boomer: “No… I am your father.”
Luke Y-walker: “No, that’s not true! That’s impossible!”
It sounds like Guile’s special move for when someone’s royally pissed him off.
Morpheus toon makes room for the death boom.
Also ‘boom’ sounds a lot more fun, like a party with games or refreshments.
Death Boom sounds cool but the opposite would be “Birth Boom”.
I think it should be “Corpse Boom”.
I remember seeing “papy boom” in some French school books.
But is there something cooler?
Corpse boom?
Kinda the ultimate name for a boomer shooter. And I just now realised how easily misinterpreted that name can be, had never thought of the “boomer” part as the generational term. It has no connection to that but I absolutely think many people think it does.
It’s going to be a lot cooler, too… On average these people have destroyed the world at a higher rate than those before them.

We just want them to give us their houses.
Best we can do is a huge wave of reverse mortgages and Medicaid seizures due to end of life medical bills.
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…”
Yup.
It has already started.
yes. it’s actually a huge thing the funeral world is dreading.
Publicly dreading, privately planning what they are going to do with all that extra cash.
There’s GOLD in them caskets
I like to call them death waves because that is what we called them in Cities Skylines.
I think the deaths are a little more spread out.

This website keeps coming up. They do a great job.
The worst part of WWIII will be the second wave boomers, because they’ll trigger WWIV when they age out of relevancy.
A baby is the product of birth, the product of death is a corpse, so it’d be a corpse bloom.
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
One can only hope.
Yes. We have been talking about it for 30 years at this point.
Americans can’t afford nursing homes and elder care.
So, afraid death it is. Hope there’s no reverse mortgage for any of you to deal with.
We had one in 2020 and 2021
