The "boomer" label is often applied to older people by mistake.

He died in July 1984, which was over 39 years ago. Three decades have passed since his death.

To put that into perspective.

A baby that was born on the day of his death has grown up, finished school, finished college, started a career, and has their own children by now.
Since Ed Gein's death in 1984, roughly nine FIFA World Cups and ten US presidential elections have taken place.
Since his death, the United States has had six new presidents.
The United Kingdom has had eight new prime ministers.
When Ed Gein died, the Soviet Union still existed.
Because he died in 1984, it means that he probably never heard of famous names such as Bon Jovi, Whitney Houston, Oprah Winfrey, Johnny Depp, and Guns N' Roses.
He did not live long enough to see the film Back to the Future.
