Those born 1956-1964 (late Boomers) are called "Generation Jones." They are quite different from the early Boomers. They are more practical & conservative, partly because, coming of age in the 1970s, they experienced the fallout of the hippie 1960s.
Myself a "Jones-er," I have nothing in common with anyone even 5 years older than me. To me, the early Boomers seem evil or weird. Talking to them, I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone. They were the ones who morally messed up this country.
I relate more to the Gen Xers like my kid brother, who shares my opinion of the early Boomers.
I agree 100%.
Excellent points!
Never liked hippies.
