I've often thought that way too. I fluctuate on it. There are undoubtedly group characteristics but it seems unfair to blame an entire generation for the actions of a few. It's collective guilt, essentially.
Don't get me wrong - I enjoy slamming the boomers too. Mostly though I just resent them for inhabiting a world I've never experienced.
Personally I fluctuate between calling it "the boomers" and calling it "the evil Reagan-Thatcher couple", to whom the very idea of society had to be killed, for the sake of money ("business"). In both approaches the destruction is planned in the 80s and starts in the 90s.
Jordan Peterson says it's the post-modernist when communism failed at the time, who started fueling the counter culture in the late 60s. My Thatcher-Reagan approach covers the collusion between corporate world and leftists working together at the same aim, to destroy society.
Thatcher-Reagan was giving up on reversing the damage of the counter-culture and trying to build something new that was at least functional Unfortunately, the new system wasn't nearly as robust as the pre-counter-culture system so it degenerated into what we have today
