I've never heard it put quite that way before. But during the 1980s there was a lot of talk about the "Reagan Kids", voters from 18-30 that went like 2-1 for Reagan. That would correspond to people born 1954-1966. The Dims were giving birth to porcupines (breech presentation) over this.

One thing the GOP needs to keep in mind: these voters are not neccesarily "cultural conservatives". 1980s popular culture was anything but. Indeed, one of the secrets to Reagan's success with young voters is the fact that he basically left the culture alone.

Now if only Democrats including their judges would just do the same.
