Those of us who reacted against the cultural steamroller of our Boomer generation were called stiffs, fascists, nazis, narcs, tight asses. Just because we wouldn't join the foolish hippies dancing in the mud tripping on acid.
Boomers created an idiotic pop culture, anti-intellectual and conformist beyond belief. Cheered on by the Arts and the lamestream media, aging hippies came to believe they were owed the floor. Those of us who actually were "counter-culture" , that is to say conservative, were shouted down or silenced for 30 years. No debate allowed.

You were born in 55, I in 56, so we are probably really "tweeners", and the fun was already sucked out of the Boomer party by the time were were of age. We've spent our lives picking up beer bottles in the morning while the slobs sleep it off.

Actually, I was born 1958. Elvis, the Beatles, Vietnam, and all the rest of those Boomer cultural markers are meaningless to me.

But you are right about all the rest of us picking up the trash now that the party is over.

I was born in 1956, so I know how you feel. It's like they went to the party, and we had the hangover. To be fair, though, I think it was the boomers who laid the groundwork in the '80s for the prosperity of the '90s. I think what you're are talking about are the boomers who never grew up.
