I don’t trust or believe the people that label these areas or draw the year lines in the sand. Is it gov? Academia? Some guy in Kenosha? Someone else? I’d been on this planet a while and I have no idea who makes these seemingly arbitraty BS demarcations we all adhere to.
In other words 64 may as well be X. I am X by a couple yrs. I feel the true ‘Boomers’ should have been done in '58/'59. That’s about 15 years after WW2 and part of that Boom.
I really feel like 60’ babies were different. Not Boomers, not X. Maybe that decade of babies were their own small overlooked generation. jfk, civil rights, vietnam was an insane vaccuum to come out of, that is neither Boomer or X to me.
That said I’m pretty much X. The era I went to high school in was supposed to be Fast Times at Ridgmont high but in reality, growing up in the West, every single second was Dazed and Confused: jocks beating you up with Wood Shop paddles, parties in the desert, wide open spaces, open containers, joints, bowliing balls thrown at mailboxes, rock and roll and rock and roll, chicks, cars, mayhem, no cell phones, not a lot of self-absorbed people and no phones. It was the best.
But I digress.
