The defining characteristic of the baby boom is that it was the first generation raised on television.
Television was not ubiquitous until 1952 or so.
Those born after WWII between 1946 and 1950 were by and large raised right. TV was not part of their upbringing. The idiocy began with those who were indoctrinated by TV.
