(Note that Howe and Strauss divide the Boom Generation from the Thirteener Generation between 1960 and 1961 on the grounds of a difference of temperament. Persons born in 1961 or later could not possibly have participated in the cultural ferment of the 1960s and 1970s and were generally more hurt than helped by the tendencies of the time. Thirteeners tend to rely, furthermore, upon pure entrepreneurialism as opposed to religion or political activism for solutions to their lives and are much more politically conservative than Boomers born somewhat earlier, even if the numerical Baby Boom did not end until the mid-1960s.
