Sounds………hypocritical.

Yawn! Another person who has no idea what a "baby boomer" is, but feels free to try to rip them with obviously totally incorrect shit anyway.

I was born in '61. A child in the '60's. Late boomer here. So I saw the mohawks and safetly pins first hand in the mid to late '70's in SF Bay Area clubs. I was THERE. And it was the same message. At age 17-20, I tolerated it. Never had a mohawk or pins myself. Went to some shows and clubs. Punk and New Wave was NEW. By 21 I was working at my career and all grown up. And still watched as 20 year old crybabies became 30 and 40 year old crybabies. Sorry, not for me.

Born in 63. i can relate. Been working every day forever. I don’t like a lot of shit I see every day. Whatcha gonna do. Bitch and moan, nothing, beat the crap out of someone, what other option. If it doesn’t impact me directly, abide.

Not all of us. Stop getting your history lessons from the internet.

Me and all my buddies were all about girls, cars, motorcycles, and beer. I knew a few peeps who were hippies but was not close friends with them, and most of them moved on from their youthful endeavors.

I started working part time around 1964 and full-time from 1968 til I retired in 2021.

I was 22 when I had to get my first real job. Oh, sure. I had other jobs on summer breaks like being a bike mechanic and hauling produce, but my first real job out of college was at a Naval Shipyard. I got a haircut and cleaned my act up real fast. Welcome to the real world. Pretty much stayed in the Defense business and had retired military officers as bosses my entire life. No mohawks, no tats, and no piercings either. Worked out better for me than if I had tried to be a professional hippie all my life.

Many more Boomers served in the military, many in Viet Nam. They were not drug, free love antiestablishment. I know because I was one of the many that chose to serve our country and did not engage in drugs nor the free love culture.

Correct. I know. I did not say all. I asked rhetorically “how many”.

[Aerovette]

I saw hippies, Krishnas in the airport, Black Panther militants, etc. Never did they have an ounce of influence on me. Rules and repercussions for breaking them had the primary influence on me. Whether it be from teachers, parents, or friend's parents.

I prefer meat when I go out and pay good money for it. I eat plenty of chicken and fish at home. She’s my daughter. I make exceptions. When we cook we ensure there’s vegan options if she’s around. Who wouldn’t.

Chicken is gross. I like when you bite into a piece and there’s a vein in it. Yummy veins.

Edit: there’s a lot of judgy ignorant morons here and in the world in general. If someone wants to eat a pine cone let em eat a damn pine cone. Also stfu about eating pine cones.

Pine cones > McRibs

Twenty two? I worked from 12-6 Monday - Friday and 8-5 on Saturday at a lamp company all through high school from 16 years old to 18 years old. Got drafted at 18 and was in the Military for three years. I had a real job for six years before you got a real job?

I’ve been working basically since I was 15 and still in high school. Graveyard shift at a newspaper, slept in class a lot. Probably explains a few things.

The coolest thing, though, is that you yourself are a boomer.

I did not know he was a boomer, but he seems a little confused on the math. He asked how many boomers were druggies "in the 60s", implying that a ton of us were. But since the oldest baby boomers turned 23 in '69, and less than half of boomers were over the age of about 14 in '69, it's hard to imagine very many boomers were the ones tripping out at Woodstock and the like.
