Is that what Gen X thinks?  Not that it isn't justified.  I'm about half way in between; I thought other boomers were being stupid, but not necessarily crazy.  The police were just doing their jobs (at Kent state).

A big rock concert didn't appeal because I'd been brought up with classical music.  I don't think that was really a birth year thing, though I could be wrong.

I don't think that Gen X actually has a solidified opinion on the awakening.  Not really the point of a Nomad generation.  I've come across three types of Xers in relation to their views of the last 2T.  A small minority think it was great and everything about it was great.  Not unsurprisingly these also tend to be younger Xers who have idealistic and civic traits in spades.  Then there is a small minority that thinks that the awakening was absolutely terrible and everything about it was terrible and the whole mess should be undone.  The Majority are somewhere between those two extremes.

For example from the majority of X, pot would be okay as would be civil rights for gays and others.  But bra burning and attempting to set up an agricultural commune type thing is probably just dumb.

I wouldn't have been interested in Woodstock mostly because I don't tend to enjoy crowds.  I think that has to do with me being almost anti-social rather than being my birth year.  Introversion seems to have been common among my ancestors...great uncles and etc.
