Might also be important to note that due to boomers being such a big generation (as the earlier ones were culled by wars, and the later by condoms) they've been the most important focus group for both politicians and media since early 1960s. Part of the "culture wars" is that the later generations collectively have finally gotten majority due to natural reasons.

(Related: why US presidential candidates' actions during Vietnam have been a major question for a quarter+ century.)

Sometimes even later. In local politics (from my POV) "this is how it's always been done" refers to something that had existed about 20 years when the boomers were born.

(So interwar.)

(The amount of critique in local politics we get for women keeping their own surnames or giving mother's surname to the kid is surprisingly high, considering the legistlation about giving father's surname to kid was only in the books from about 1920 - 1986.)

Well now I want to go register the domain name for OnlyCaves...

Your moral majority grandparents are/were neither moral nor the majority as there’s nothing new under the sun.

<Grumps> "The Victorians. It's always the bloody Victorians"

Most of those so-called ancient traditions were cooked up in the Victorian era by guys with too much starch in their collars & too little in their spines.

Meanwhile every modern moral decay our grandparents panic about was already being practiced in caves.

Only difference is now it's on OnlyFans instead of on a rock wall.
