I'm just angry that boomers did everything to stamp out individuality in their young and created a bunch of people intent on eliminating it, allowing no exceptions to the rules.

Now I'm stuck in this generation and there's nothing I can do about it but survive it until it's over.
No they did not. They FOUGHT for those folk who were considered different. Fought for their rights and for them to be heard. They FOUGHT for individualism in the name of freedom because when they were kids anyone who was different was shoved aside and treated like 2nd class citizens. I honestly do not know where you are getting this impression.
Boomers fought for minority groups, emphasis on the groups. That's very different from fighting for individualism. When Boomers were kids, any kid who didn't wear the standard Boomer "protest" uniform of worn jeans and a tie dyed T shirt was shoved aside and treated like 2nd class citizens, you got that right. It was the squares who were given that treatment, though, not the protesters.
It's still the case that any "Blue Boomer" will attack black conservatives like Thomas Sowell with a passion, because they consider him to be a traitor to the cause just because he doesn't conform to their idea of what a black person should be like.
Sowell is attacked because he is a right-wing nut who uses his race as a shield to defend himself from criticism.
