Red State/Blue State Boomers : modern wonder bread boomers vs postmodern brown bread boomers ?

After the relatively few babies born during the depths of the Great Depression, an uptick in births began in 1941 in much of the world.

That birthrate did not return to the dismal levels of the Depression years until 1966 and so ending the famous twenty five year long global 'Baby Boom'.

From 1956 era little rock 'n' rollers to 1960s protest marchers to 1970s back-to-the-landers, the early years of the massive Boomer generation seem dominated by those one might call postmodern or Blue State boomers.

But from the 1980s onward, it is the other half that is in the drivers' seat : the 'greed is good' 'its all about me', the limit-denying modern cum Red State boomers.
