79. The stereotypes are bs, but the common experience is the same
For example, many boomers had parents who served in the military during WWII

Many boomers developed an affinity for Rock and Roll

Many boomers were of draft age during the Vietnam War

Likewise, we Xers have our own common threads:

We spent all of our HS years to be scared stiff of Ivan, and then Ivan went and collapsed on us when we graduated

We never knew a world without TV

Most of us never knew a world without COLOR TV

We came of age after Civil Rights and Women's Rights Movements
