Baby Boomers

I just saw a thing that said: “Is 60 the new 40?”

And I immediately thought, “Of course it is, because WWII baby boomers have always thought everything was about THEM.”

Baby Boomers

IMHO, I think it may be because they were the first generation to have disposable income and because their sheer numbers made advertisers market specifically to them.

When they were teens, they were the Pepsi Generation. When they hit college, they turned into the Hippie Generation that didn’t trust anyone over 30. Then they got tired of being broke … or maybe their parents got sick of supporting them … so they joined the establishment and made Women Can Have It All their mantra. Then their biological clocks went tick-tock, so oh my goodness, you’d have thought they INVENTED pregnancy and parenting, and 40 became the new 30. Then 50. Now 60.

Far out

They were the most self-centered, anti-religious people in American history and they got away with it because they had buying power. But that is rapidly ending as they die off and retire to lower income levels.

    Chrissy, you don’t actually believe you can accurately describe a huge group of people whose birth dates happen to fall in a certain range of years as having identical–and identically nasty–characteristics, do you? It’s almost like astrology–or maybe collectivism. If someone was born in 1945, say, are they magically inoculated against all these awful character defects?

    This description drips with vitriol. Why?
