Me too. Never had a damn thing in common with them. How a baby born 15 to 20 years after a war could be considered the same generation is beyond me. Sounds like the next generation after.
Well, you have to go somewhere. And while I can certainly appreciate the alienation from a generation that defined themselves (hippies) when you were, say, eight, those of us in GenX (1969 here) don't really associate ourselves with anyone that can actually remember the sixties. Even if you were eight.
Now if you want to talk about forming one's sense of the world around Sid and Marty Kroft, and the Six Million Dollar Man, well, then pull up a chair my friend. We'll listen to some Nirvana, drink some Zima, throw it away, open some Killians, and I'll dig out my old Crue CD's.
Whether same generation or not, the dysfunctionality of the early Boomers (Woodstockers) spilled over to the later Boomers.
Hussein NObomba is the perfect example.
