I don't know if I'd consider Dead "boomer music". Just yesterday, I met a bunch of new people from my wife's workplace, all 20/30 yo clean-cut career and family types. Surprisingly the Dead came up and about 1/3 of group jumped out of their chair at the mention of Jerry Garcia. We talked about shows we'd seen or listened to recently, favorite songs, the upcoming finale of the Dead's touring career... Deadheads are alive and well in the younger generation.

They definitely aren't your stereotypical "hippies" though! That whole aesthetic is a relic of the boomer past.

You'll find there's quite a range of deadheads out there. The Dead was pretty big in some frats so there's that vibe as well. Ann Coulter of all people is a deadhead. Glad to hear you found some kindred spirits without one foot in the grave :)
