Boomers want to be remembered as these fun loving and forward thinking generation of people but really, all anyone will remember about them is NAFTA, endless war, debt, Marxist infiltration of American institutions and Chinese drywall.
Oh and socks with sandals.

Kids born in the 60s had a very different experience from those kids born in the 40s and early 50s. Much much different.

Yeah, I tend to agree. Even the term boomer doesn't really fit as the term was originally coined to identify the extreme amount of children being conceived in the small timeframe by all of the GI's returning home from WWII.
Those kids comprise such a large portion of the generation that it is easy to see a disconnect with kids of the same generation. Hell, I was born in 1967 and my parents were of the baby boom generation, yet technically I went to high school with the tail end of the generation.

All that is nice, but the advancement of computers and the home pc with internet splitting up a generation would be a much bigger deal.
It’s prob better to say yeah, the generational markers may be too wide.
My parents generation had wars, mine had wars, we both had inflation and gas price fluctuation. But the biggest diff is the computer and internet.

We, the late boomers, were weaned on “Captain Kangaroo” and “Romper Room.” They were old enough to freak out over the Sputnik; we were young enough to grow bored of moon landings. The soundtrack of their senior year in high school was the early Beatles and Motown; ours was “Frampton Comes Alive!” Rather than Freedom Summer, peace marches, and Woodstock, we second-half baby boomers enjoyed an adolescence of inflation, gas lines, and Jimmy Carter’s “malaise” speech. We grew up to the background noise of the previous decade, when being young was allegedly more thrilling in every way: the music, the drugs, the clothes, the sense of discovery and the possibility of change, the sense that being young mattered.
Jesus, even the Boomers are trying to get in on claiming their victim status.

Well your parents must have had you young.
My parents are boomers and I’m a millennial, but my mom was in her 30s when she had me.

frick all of that, that date range is too encompassing, Vietnam should be the cutoff for boomers, when you graduated hs the draft had stopped for one year, before that every kid had to register upon turning 18 and an M-16 and combat boots in the near future was a very realistic possibility

Born in 60 and graduated in 78. I’m right there with you.

I'd dazed and confused as we speak.

Did you skip over the part about "Frampton Comes Alive?"

I came here to do two things: kick some arse and drink some beer. Looks like I’m almost out of beer.

Most of the boomers never tried the first joint.

That's why I have always said the only true boomers are the ones born in the immediate aftermath of WW2, when people were no longer guilt tripped into not having kids.

Boomers get too much blame. Vietnam and the War on Drugs were the beginning of shite going south and they weren’t to blame for either.

Eh.
The Catholic WWII vets were spitting out their children from 1946 to 1967.
You are correct about it being 2 different "generations" of kids growing up.
But it often was the same parents spitting out families of 8 to 12 kids during that time frame.
