No Boomer Generation president (kind of sarcasm)

57. I'm technically a boomer.

But I don't really feel like it. Born in '58, grew up in a different era than earlier boomers. I was just a tad too young for the hippie generation, too old for the yuppies. Caught between, never fit in. I believe that boomers need to be broken up into other designations. My brother born in '59 (I was early in the year, he was later in the next year, so almost two years difference) was more like me, but my sister born in '61 was really a different generation. The brother born 13 months after her was more her generation, and the two sisters who came later were totally different from the rest of us.

So, boomers aren't one monolithic group, we have a lot of variation. Bill Clinton to me was more of a boomer, he was old enough to have the hippie experience. He's only a dozen years older, I think. I have an aunt and uncle his age, to me it's weird to consider them anything like me, generationally

At any rate, people of any generation can vote in ways that seem to be destructive, so we can't lump them all into one thing. Not all boomers are conservative freaks. Some are so liberal we don't even really fit with Democrats.
