Oh boomers, an old classic, i know that it's a lot to unravel, but you need to know this.
Boomers generally are the most exemplary case of mass media production and social controls on the history of human society, even worse than some empires.
Boomers started like some people said in this thread, a generation rounded through the punishments of WW2, a generation with everything wrapped on a white blanket, this isn't wrong on the first place but it explain the next points.
In general boomers for this reason started life with a lot of privileges, cars, money, an undeserving mix of unadulterated commercialized culture which didn't mean anything and had a lot of problems which generated today globohomo. This culture wouldn't last forever because it was caused by a situation which happened only because they didn't had something to fix (women didn't worked on this time period, something which was unthinkable on the 19th century and was just restricted to the higher class). This could be seen on cases like Detroit or the low life cities which were the first ones to see the cultural decrease, this included with the retarded lowlife interests of most of them were a real declaration.
This was heard and understood by some smart boomers, which tried to solve this by going against globalized corporatist businesses and remaking american culture to be more receptive to old time values of community, recognizing ways to make more creative people, encouraging less commercial abusive behaviors, recognizing local businesses and while at the same time understanding the liberties of others and recognizing the different ways people were controlled on older time periods.
All of this caused four important pillars of them, The sexual revolution, dodging the draft, civil rights and a ecologist lifestyle where people lived independently with family or community members (which where multiple families), ambition on these places was encouraged on real limits and with the resources to be, this is shown on the music and interests of them.
The sexual revolution, which understood sexuality as something to not be ashamed off, with an important value to society and the respect of the sexual interest of others was an understanding to relations because it showed sex as a mutual understanding, one where both partners loved each other, this discourages multiple sex partners by definition, this is because polyamory it's unequal on the basic ground of having favoritism, while at the same time being a way to hurt parts of a relation, something which was caused by the act of not understanding the suffering and abuse these types of relationships give to nearly all partners and because it underestimates the importance of sex (being the ultimate connection of a relation, the part where both parts bond and understand each other). These points make sex an act of pair bonding between a successful relationship, accepts different ways of pleasure like oral sex and different types of sexuality, understands past sexual history on a manner that doesn't hurt the actual relationships (Discourages cucks), and makes people responsible of their sexual relations ( Not having sex with anyone you meet and not having sex just because of the act of reproducing or urge,). These aspects were a real revolution on the way sexuality was seen, in the past it was just a reproductive mindset and misunderstood the bonding aspects which unites a relationship to a greater extent, even more when harems and all the variations of it where more reflexive to a less developed culture, this is the reason most consent laws increased on this time period, marriage was more of a personal choice, but wasn't frown upon, this is seen on the way beefheart married his wife, degeneracy was discouraged by being respectful to the relationship (most extreme fetishes are normally forced by one part of the relation, specific kinks are different than full blown irresponsibility), this makes taking care of kids an aspect of real care, because it generates real responsibility and makes having kids a deliberate choice (this is the reason you shouldn't accept single motherhood on a real sexual revolution, having equal care of the kids was the real answer).
Dodging the draft was an understanding of Vietnam, Vietnam was an scapegoat to a real interest of the globohomo, this being the control of international markets and the capacity of having destroyed areas where they can get cheap labor, socialism wasn't the main point, even more when vietnam wouldn't have changed the destiny of those lands. Obviously these boomers recognized this and started dodging the draft, this wasn't because of grief but they could with this destroy the methods of acquiring unequal competition, thus the destruction of local businesses and a loyal life (hurting the US and all other countries on the process), this gets increased by being a method to destroy people and families outside and inside of the US on a personal level.
The ecologist lifestyle was made to decrease the price of living, creating a better area to live, encouraging creative work and making technology evolve on a natural way, this is the reasons they used the electric guitar, nuclear wasn't seen as wrong and communities where people lived each other through commerce or community work were encouraged, this is the reason mickey was mocked on cartoons related to vietnam and weed was accepted, it was a think nature gave and it's a thing that generates better resources, has a lot of uses and if used responsibly, can be a good thing.
Civil rights were made to accept others on real ways, letting people have real interests and to let things like free speech be more important, these civil rights were pretty much everyone having equal rights, have free speech on all manners, defending areas where people couldn't consent and letting people have different interest by their own interest outside of people or companies which try to force them on specific blankets, generally this wasn't something which tried to take masculine initiative, most of the time it was encouraged to men and women to have specific masculine traits like individuality, general stubbornness and confrontation, they weren't peaceful all the time, they just had a live and let live situation, similar to the NAP, this by definition crumbles most points pertaining good acts as a racial aspect, the reason of this is because it doesn't give unequal benefits and doesn't justify crime or social problems which need fixing and aren't impossible to solve, even more when it's caused by a lack of this impartiality.
If you want a resume, it was green libertarianism.
All of these were broken one by one on the most painful ways imaginable.
Boomers after seeing these communities (which they hated at first because they were spoiled faggots) wanted to fit in and be the cool dudes (which they couldn't be), they forced their entrance on these communities by force and started to control everything.
The sexual revolution was made mush by encouraging polyamory and destroying the basic principles of it, by making the sexual act a coin, the sexual act becomes a meaningless aspect which can be used to attack anyone and destroy people, this was made by throwing all the tenets of it and forcing these aspects as the sexual revolution, The pill and other aspects made have kids be more planned (they didn't cause anything, at worst they are tools where people can be more responsible, a bad mindset it's needed to use them incorrectly), but the act of destroying this sexual revolution was the thing that sealed the deal to most of the boomer demographic, which was retarded, clueless and really hypocritical by being lied by TV and media in general destroyed the real sexual revolution in exchange of pity, this with the dissent views by nearly everything made them double down on it.
Dodging was the less damaged by being the first one, it was a more general push force and even the silent generation was with it.
The ecologist lifestyle was broken by useless wretches which were the norm, remember that boomers were spoiled and tried to find ways to not do anything, this was done by throwing in the trash all the work ethic which was a part of freak lives and didn't do anything, even more when they ironically wasted money and followed trends which were corrupted to be useless.
Civil rights became a joke after this time period, this was caused by people which wanted benefits and the development of markets to sell to people with no meaning on their interests, this one took the longest by taking more than 25 years and a lot of social destruction and false tolerance.
Most of the ills where caused by mass media, institutes and much more which warped the freak definition to not mean anything, this is the reason nearly no one knows the word freak on the first place.
Boomers did this by being people which were stopped and controlled by others and because of being spoiled.
there's an album which showed this, it's called We're Only In It For The Money
Boomers are an example of bad child rearing. even having no parents was better than being a boomer on that time period.
I think there were organic, no pun intended, oldfag hippies who were a natural outgrowth of something along the lines of the California nature boy movement, which can tangentialy trace it's roots back to the naturemensch and lebensreform schools of thought in Europe years earlier. These oldfag hippies were anarcho-libertarian environmentalists that thought local to such an extent, they turned their backs on government and consoomer culture completely. Think, Uncle Ted pilled, but without the mail bombs. "The man" would not care for these sorts as they'd rather live modestly in a DIY fashion and had no interest in supporting foriegn ventures like the Korean or Vietnam war. What were the fruits born of those wars, expanding international trading blocs that turned into current year globohomo? It was that eras version of die for israel, but more die for wall street. They had as little interest in supporting international communism as they would have in supporting wall street style capitalism. They occuppied an under-represented and unspoken third posistion that basically kept to the spirit of old school American frontiersmen, but, yeah, they also liked to smoke weed and play around with psychadelic drugs. Anyway, those oldfag hippies didn't go unnoticed by "The Man". So cultural engineers created a degenerate fake hippie persona and marketed it back to the youth as music and lifestyle and used it as a limitted hangout control mechanism. How did a phrase like, "tune in, turn on, and drop out" turn into vote for whatever bullshit the Democratic party is selling this electoral cycle? That's ultimately what things like cointelpro and mkultra were about. How those glowies treating you in current year? "The man", the glow in the dark niggers, same thing, different era.
