Let's take a look at some of the names in that cohort: 7 member of the Chicago 8(Abby Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Tom Hayden, Rennie Davis, John Froines, Lee Weiner, Bobby Seale), Grace Slick, Janis Joplin, Country Joe McDonald, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Phil Ochs, Joan Baez, Judy Collins, all 4 of the Beatles, all 4 of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Frank Zappa, Jane Fonda, Peter Fonda, Jack Nicholson, Dennis Hopper, Dustinn Hoffman, Robert De Niro, Germaine Greer, Erica Jong. I could probably come up with lots more. The baby boomers may be associated with the turbulent 60's and 70's, but the real thought leaders and artistic trend setters were born either immediately before or during the war. The baby boomers were just the mass market for the new trends. I don’t know about your categorization of the 1935-1945 cohort as “traditionalists”.
