I came right after you. I'm part of the first year of Gen X, born in '65, so I'll be 59 in April. I can't agree enough with what you're saying. I was brought up that was as well. Probably "boomer" vs "gen x" is not really a good measure as what values were in the family. My parents were born in the 40s.

I lived the best years of my life during the "Stabilization Period" described in the article. I feel not just lucky but even blessed compared to the absolute shit that people call their lives these days.
It was so wonderful but even still, I long for the era of the 40's. I am fascinated by it. By the music, by the class, by the much better in character people that were common. If I could go back in time, I would turn 18 on VE day, so that I could have lived my heyday starting in 1945 on the very close of WW2.
I look at all of this insanity and feel as though most people have lost their minds. Tattoos... yes, just as you have said but what people do these days looks like skin disease. It's disgusting. I'm not the most fit but I will never surrender to the degree that most people have already done. I might not be the classiest dressing person but you will never find me wearing pajamas in public, etc.
It sad that it has gone so far but, since it has, it has to break and it has to end. It's utterly digusting and I'll never be OK with what all of this has become.
