(1,410 posts)I think the cutoff used to be '60. Much different experience growing up as compared to the first decade of Boomers.
For example, I am amazed at what my kids and others musical choices. At 12 years old I NEVER listed to music that was prior to about '68. Fifties music was completely foreign to me. Might have listened to some of the early Beatles and Stones stuff released prior to '68 but that was about it.
Coming out of college we had some very basic computer skills. Remember being one of two people (she was the same age) in my work environment who could use a spreadsheet or Word processing software. That was a foreign concept to people born in the 40's and 50's.
So it might be a fabrication, but it is real. Different experiences and skills.
