Guy explains baby boomers, their parents, and trauma.

[Olive]

it's an attractive theory because so simple, but let down by his assumptions that all "boomers" (how I loathe that term) are exactly the same, and that all of their parents endured the same traumas.   Growing up in the fifties and sixties in Aotearoa or Australia would not have been the same as the equivalent in Europe or the US.   He's also ignoring the class system that was significant then (still is in UK, not so much in Australasia these days)
