What years was the Echo Boom? I always see different dates for it.?

Answer 1

It's an "expansive term", so dates may differ.
But most sources say the "Echo Boomers" are those born between 1982 - 1995.

"Echo Boom is an expansive term for American children born between 1982 and 1995, when for the first time since 1964, the number of live births reached over four million. It wouldn’t be until 1985 that the live birth number would even match that of 1965 at 3.760 million. Also it should be noted that the birthrate of 1971’s 17.2% has yet to be reached according to the 2000 census."

"he largest generation of young people since the '60s is beginning to come of age. They're called "echo boomers" because they're the genetic offspring and demographic echo of their parents, the baby boomers.

Born between 1982 and 1995, there are nearly 80 million of them, and they're already having a huge impact on entire segments of the economy. And as the population ages, they will be become the next dominant generation of Americans. "

(Though I have seen a starting date of 1976 or 1977 and a ending date of 2001 also mentioned.)
