What generation does he belong to?
Silent Generation.
GenX?
He belongs to the whiney snowflake generation.
“As I, a Baby Boomer by age if not by inclination, grew into the 1980s, 1990s, and beyond, I awaited the next generation’s rebellion.”
Mr. Tyrrell is mostly writing about a book just published:
“Possibly the backlash to the Boomers is at hand. Its herald is a book written by a Gen Xer, Bruce Cannon Gibney, and aptly titled A Generation of Sociopaths: How the Baby Boomers Betrayed America. You took a long time in filing your copy, Mr. Gibney, but I welcome you anyway. The only problem is that you blame my cohort of the Boomers’ generation for equal parts of the generation’s atrocities, and there I take issue with you. We had very little to do with the Boomers’ achievement. From the first campus demonstration in the 1960s to the Boomers’ recent whines about aging, the Baby Boomers were almost exclusively a left-wing phenomenon.”
