Baby boomer nostalgia is about to get worse

Of course, pretty much everything that ever happened to boomers when they were younger marked the end of an era. Culturally, boomers shut down the club, then set it on fire, then blew it up, then boarded the last train leaving the station, and nothing that’s happened since can possibly measure up.

boomers clearly take the prize in the nostalgia sweepstakes. Perhaps the most self-mythologizing generation of all, those feisty postwar babies have demonstrated a singular talent for foisting their remembrances on the rest of us, like a neighbor freshly returned from a painstakingly documented African safari.
Just wait, though: The next few years should be even worse. We’re approaching the 50th anniversaries of all the events of the late 1960s. For the remainder of the decade, we can expect a brand-new wave of melodramatic retrospectives, each designed to remind us of a magical time when boomer heads were packed full of idealistic notions and covered in lustrous, free-flowing hair. But just as what goes up must come down, what frolics in the mud of Woodstock must eventually sulk in the fluorescent chill of the cardiology office. Somehow, as boomers age, their commitment to dragging that dusty ’60s archival reel out of the basement yet again seems to grow exponentially.

I get that you're likely trying to be ironic (or something), but you're just furthering your own stereotype.
This is a PR battle you are most definitely losing at the moment.

Boomers are the worst. Thankfully most of the them have a foot in the grave already. Just bide your time.

Some of you care about the most trivial things.

These generational arguments are so fricking pathetic for both sides.

For as much as millennials bitch about boomers, they sure as hell love emulating them. Get the frick outta here.

wah, it's all the baby boomers fault

meh, boomers are not that bad. I grew up in an awesome household with successful boomer parents. Private schooling, tuition assistance and seen the world a few times. Sorry your boomer parents were not smart with their money.

It's an awesome time for Boomers. It's not our fault that no one has come up with a better option for 60's and 70's rock.
Just wait till 2018. That's when the nostalgia will hit the fan.

You would have LOVED being at Woodstock..........The late 60's were the start of COOL and Freedom... The way we have it now came from what they were saying and doing back then..............

Preparation H, Bengay, Viagra, ... Just when I thought it couldn't get any better.

Thas me. Phuque the rest of you generational pricks, if America continues to exist I expect those that came after me to supplant the inheritance my parents left me.
