[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am 62 years old. I do not feel like a boomer and when we socialize with older people, even 4 years older, I feel like we are socializing with my parents' friends. Worlds apart. I cannot even imagine living in an over 55 development.
I have some head work to do. I know.[/quote]

Makes sense to me. You were part of the sex, drugs, and rock and roll generation. People born four years earlier than you were not. [/quote]

[b]And yet I didn't do any drugs, liked pop music and married in my early 20s, so -nope. Those older than me were into drugs (LSD, opiates), rock, and counter culture. I think most people don't understand the culture associated with age groups- I see a lot of misconceptions here, particularly against boomers. They were the true renegades and now people think they are Fox News devotees. Not anyone  I know! Not on this coast![/quote][/b]

Well of course not everyone was doing those things.  But the sex, drugs, and rock and roll culture began in the late 60's.  Not everyone in HS in the 70's was partaking of it, but the culture didn't even really exist prior to 1965. Don't you think attending a Led Zeppelin concert in 1972 would have been a far different experience than attending a Rick Nelson concert in 1962?[/quote]
