(3,227 posts)I'm not an older boomer, but I was a child during those days of rebellion and do remember them. The boomer generation were NOT dominated by hippies and free love, nor were they political rebels. It was something that many of we kids couldn't relate to, and I came from a progressive family, with a large extended family that is 90% progressive, even though I grew up in a series of small dead-end conservative towns. There was a strong movement during that time, but it was not a majority movement. It had tremendous knock-on effects on our society because it was change that was inevitable, but many people simply adapted quietly, like my family. Plenty also resisted and still do.
Every time I hear accusates of 'sell out boomers' and the rest of it, I can only assume that the accusers don't know anything, really, about that generation.
