I thought they were referring to the fans, not the members.
But that doesn’t hold as the Beatles legacy has continued to reverberate through generations (mainly due to artistic output, but supplemented by well managed releases every decade or so)

Baby boomers, often shortened to boomers, are the demographic cohort preceded by the Silent Generation and followed by Generation X. The generation is often defined as people born from 1946 to 1964. Source
The Beatles are indeed not baby boomers but silent generation.
Maybe from others who interpreted it as targeted at the band’s first generation fans, not at the members themselves.
Edit: I don’t agree with the original sentiment, the Beatles influence on popular (western) music cannot be disputed whether one personally enjoys their output or not.
Especially with Yellow Submarine you can hear their poetical qualities. It’s clear they studied literature for years before they started making music xD

I don’t get the down votes.

Could have been more silent. Most overrated band ever.
