Me? I never cared for any of those things - and where my brother was way into acid rock and progressive rock, I was way into AM rock at first, later disco, and new wave after that.
Our 3-year age difference might as well have been a 30-year age difference. That is why I am so adamant about my not being a Boomer.
But this is where it gets tricky. What about someone born in 1955 that was similar to you? Would they not be a Boomer because they don't meet stereotypes? What about someone born in 1960 who was like your brother in personality and interests? Would they be a Boomer or not?
I've also met tons of people born in 1956 and 1957. Never got along with any of them.
