Opinions On Boomers?

Some say they're white elders who dindu nuffin
 
Some say they had all kinds of power and made awful choices
 
For myself I had stereotypical experiences of boomers and some of them could have been humbler, more generous, kinder, more courageous, and so on.
 
The younger generations seem "lost" due to defective leadership of the older generations, although maybe it could be argued they have failed to "bootstrap" certain things.
 
But also I feel the boomers' parents were more of the ones that needed to prevent things that were happening, and they could have possibly parented better.
 
The boomer parent generation seemed to have the baton and dropped it, but then boomers ran far away in the wrong direction, then the generations coming after than have been simply a derivative of this aggressive lead in the wrong direction made by the boomers
 
Thoughts on boomers, or their parents, or the generations?

My boomer parents left me alone the figure things out myself. Shit strategy on their part.

lol I wish boomers would have just left us entirely alone, or done a good job as authorities
 
anarchy, or authoritarianism
 
instead I saw a weird mix of directing people towards materialism and destruction and compromise and so on

Thats the kind of boomer I only remember from 'the Magic Picture Box'. Imagine someone 'involved' in my development at all. That would have been interesting. Bunch of nannies, at best in the form of teachers.
