First, In regards to music all the great artist from the boomer generation were in fact from the previous generation, So if anything the musical legacy of the boomers is Disco. Even so, When musical artist of our generation speak out with anti-American statements (Like the Dixie Chicks) we shun them, When musical artist that your generation listened to spoke out against America (Like John Lenin) you made them heroes/Gods.
I hate to tell you but we Gen-Xers even though we are still relatively young already changed the world for the better and had a bigger positive influence on the world than the baby boomers. It was us who spawned the internet and brought computers into the mainstream and ushered in the new era of the Information Age which has had an overall major positive effect all over the world that will be felt and enjoyed for generations to come. When we set out to change the world we created something unlike the Boomers who when they set out to change the world instead of creating something they instead became Lawyers and we all know how wonderful it is that we have all these lawyers and regulations running around.
The Baby Boomers accomplished nothing and destroyed everything they touched and are basically self serving parasites and will go down as the worst generation in history.
