It might be off subject, but Rush might be showing he his getting up in the years with this one. He assumes the parents are baby boomers. The odds are they are not. They are of the next generation after. The majority of parents today of 18 year olds probably graduated HS somewhere in the mid 1980’s, the Reagan years. They were the teenagers at the time the EIB network started. I know, I am a parent of an 15, 17 and 20 year old. I was born in 1962, and I’m one of the older dudes among the dads, most are still in their forties, just a few years older than Derek Jeter. Hell I played college ball against Jamie Moyer and he just retired recently. So after the decades of baby boomer parents Rush hasn’t realized that the baby boomers’ kids are turning 30 or older.

They are of the next generation after.

I looked it up. Called Gen X, but there are conflicting definitions of the time span. Generally after Baby Boomers (1945/46 through 1963/1964), so that would be 1964/1965 through 1984/1985. Millenials are the next group after that. That puts my kids in the Gen X group. Don't know what recently born kids are, if the Millenials are a twenty-year span. I consider Gen X somewhat spoiled, and Millenials definitely spoiled as compared to Baby Boomers. Of course, my parents probably thought Boomers were spoiled (ha-ha).
