Oh, Bullshit

Don't you dare call me a fucking "late baby boomer" and think I didn't understand and experience what the fuck went on in the 1960s. Yeah, people like Obama could be classified as that, but I don't feel like I didn't know what in the hell happened. And frankly, NOBODY born before 1950 could have actually "experienced" firsthand the civil rights struggles, Vietnam, student protests, etc. during most the 1960s but could late in the decade or in the early 1970s.

And frankly, most of the people who did experience the decade firsthand in terms of activism and Vietnam were born in the years before the baby boom, which cover the years 1946-1964.

Speak for yourself, asshole:

The postwar baby boomers were those Americans born from 1946 to 1964. But Jonathan Pontell, a Los Angeles marketing and political consultant, says generational experience, not birthrates, is what defines a generation. Several years ago he labeled the late boomers, those born after 1954, as "Generation Jones."

Members of Generation Jones, which includes the 50-year-old Pontell, were too young to really experience the tumult of the 1960s, though some of them were around to see it. "We were wide-eyed, not tie-dyed," he said.

This shit pisses me off. The article lumps 44 and 45 year olds, who would have NO real memories of the decade at all, and lump them in with people like ME, who DO vividly remember the decade and lived throughout it.
