After all, those who can still remember Dylan plugging in at Newport Folk festival don't REALLY want to be reminded that the "kids" graduating High School this year were born the year The Notorious B.I.G. released "mo money mo problems".

Don't feel bad, my generation is hitting early middle age and they still think we're goatee and nose ring-wearing starbucks slackers who listen to "that Nirvana" all day.

You have one advantage on us, though, and that's sheer demographic size:

The Boomers may not realize it- or like it- but sooner or later they will need to take you seriously, which is one piece of respect we never got from them.
