It just makes the boomers whole "forever young" ethos all the more creepy. They really did become the generation that had a mid-life crisis that never ended and made it everyone's problem.

I used to think "mid-life crisis" was an inevitability when I saw it presented on screens when I was a kid: that someday I'd be in my 40s and need to be in denial about it and have a convertible and a leisure suit and try to hit on women half my age.

That was just boomers telling on themselves. I'm well into my 40s and that didn't happen, not even in a "wearing neon and spiking my hair 80s style" way.
