      Classic Rock. Civil rights. Moon landing. Birth control and abortion. Counterculture and peaceful protests making it OK to be a dissident. Making pants way more commonplace for women. And mid-century modern design.

        Neil armstrong etc. were all the silent generation. The boomers were in their 20s.
