The Lost Generation....

[LeftHander]

I was wondering if anyone had heard this term before...I'm with the understanding it is for late baby boomers born from 60-65...we were'nt quite part of the hippie culture and not part of disco and too old for punk...

Seems our soundtrack is defined by a whole host of music from 68 through the 80's...

I know myself was too young to relly be keen on the psycedelic rock of the late 60's but listend to the beatles at a very early age...

Rubber Soul being one I put on the Hi-Fi over and over again when I was five.

Later it was hard rock, Kansas, Kiss, Cheap Trick, ACDC, Nugent ::::shudder:::, then Sex Pistols, Talking Heads, DKs, Smiths, Joy Division, Doors...(yes picked up on in college)

What is the point? Good question I don;t know if there is one...but if you want go here and find out what one late boomer is doing...

This is not really advertising...I'm trying to find out just who our audience is and to get a handle on those my age (43) and what musical tastes they have. New music, old music or just consume the radio...

2. I was born in 1964

It is considered a "Baby Boomer" year, but I have always felt that the real "Boomers" had nothing in common with my generation.

The generations are split up by birthrates so 1964 ended a certain amount of births in the country. I don't feel a generation connection to my younger uncles and aunts and I don't feel a connection to the "Generation X" people. I look at my generation (culturally speaking) that I "connect" to are those born between 1958-59 to 1968-69. That's just me though. Maybe it is just because that is the age groups I hang around most.

3. Some put 1964 as the end of the baby boomers,

other put it in the category as the beginning of Gen X.
