Baby boomers

Born from the years 1946 to 1964, the baby boomer generation was the largest generation until the millennial generation. People believe that many families postponing starting a family until after the great depression and World War II caused a spike in the amount of babies born after 1945.  With good opportunities available, the baby boomers had high hopes for the American economy and are a generally optimistic group.
The baby boomers are now at retirement age and currently control 51% of the wealth in the country. Movies about the baby boomers include Apocalypse Now, and Full Metal Jacket. Some classic boomer tv shows include "Flipper" and "Gilligan's Island"
Popular magazines of the era are Vogue and Masters of Rock.
The greatest live performance of the baby boomer generation was Woodstock 1969 and you could find many attendants of that show at Eric Clapton's crossroad festival in 2010.
Baby boomers can be found vacationing all over, tending to take road trips in their vans. But are known to travel to the west coast as well as Thailand.
