I think the credit or blame for the counter-revolution falls on the early boomers, K!
I was an early boomer ('48) and was smack in the middle of the flower child revolution in college. I have often talked about the stunning shift from entering a college that was run like a convent to graduating in the midst of protest marches and the Kent State shootings. My husband is a an old late boomer, and they inherited the culture that was created in the 60s- it had already lost its initial innocence and power when he was in college. Maybe the very first of the boomers were out of college and starting adult lives and weren't part of the college age protests, but anyone my age sure hit it and we were actually a bit behind in the South.

Woodstock, the symbol of it all, was in 69, when I was 21, so the later boomers were only early teens and not old enough to create anything yet. It was our generation that was dying in Vietnam and was rebelling.
