Well good, you make a very reasonable case.

Very thoughtful and sincere.

Good job!

My own response would have been limited to musicians and actors.
Writers (yourself excluded) not so much.
Social causes. That's interesting.
You must factor in technology for all things boomer, they certainly did mater media to their advantage, or disadvantage as in hanoi jane's case.
Warfare (more my specialty) not so much.
Not compared to the WW2s who are my favourite generation on many counts.
What other rubrics define generations?

It seems to be a fairly recent concept, defining generations.

Wonder if Jolly would weigh in on the Brit side of that?

The generation of Agincourt? Or Trafalgar?
Those times were identified by their leaders more than their populaces of any given time.

Its interesting to think about.


The WW2s and their progeny seem to be the only two 'generations' historically relevant!

Thanks for the constructive feedback!
