What do you think about that Baby Boom generation? The most important, influential generation ever? Every generation since has been an imitation of the rebellion of the 1960's, just with slightly different clothing and music. The boomers INVENTED rebellion, right?

Discuss.

The boomers of the 19060's didn't invent rebellion. But it's true that a big children/parents quotient will help in nurturing social tensions. The European settlers in North America, for instance, came from a generation when biological reproduction was at its peak in Europe (in England up to 8 children per parents in average). Good thing there was another continent to populate, eh? Unfortunate for the native Americans, though.

Today's baby boomers are coming from the muslim countries/population, though. In the last 100 years they have approximately grown by the factor 8.

Well, we are basically listening to the Boomer's music, and using the boomer's sense of style. Our culture, our media came about because of the boomers. I think Xers and Yers are living in their shadow to be honest.

Evry generation rebels against the current society. Then condemns and demonizes the next generation for doing the same thing.
