Baby boomers were teenagers and young adults from the late 50s through the 80s. So the birth of rock-n-roll, the protest movements of the 60s and 70s, emergence of drug culture, the sexual revolution, disco, the crack epidemic, and the birth of rap.
As a Gen X'er I can personally remember the mid-70s to the late 80s and the hate spewed out at baby boomers by previous generations. I don't think the Millennials have it any worse or better. Those who are currently going through it always see it as the worse.
I think out of everyone my generation had it the easiest. We were teenagers and young adults during a time of general peace and prosperity.

- brokenmachine 8y agoThe boomers have made it so difficult to buy a house that I chose to not have kids so I have a chance at having some peace and prosperity myself. Sucks but true.
- burlesona 8y agoThat’s helpful perspective, thanks for sharing :)
- jedberg 8y agoYeah, we were lucky. War was mostly over and all the debt hadn’t caused any problems yet when we were teens in the 80s and 90s.
