  • 1968 gen Xer here.

    Not my experience at all. Boomers were way different.

    The biggest was in our refusal to be caged. Most gen person are far more independent them boomers were, even given tech disadvantages. This Is because the size of family units fell and became less dependent on each other.

    This led to a generation that, for the first time, didn’t NEED to rely so heavily on each other, and we embraced that in a way that won’t be seen again in a awhile.

    That scared the boomers because THEY weren’t able to control us as their parents did.

    And thus the de-evolution from hippy to facist.
