"They're jealous."

For me, there's certainly no jealousy (after all, they're old now) or anger, as you mention in your OP. But the answer would be very simple: just plain tired of hearing about them. That's all. Just boomer/60s/Woodstock/aren't-we-awesome fatigue.

For the record, I was born in 1970 to boomer parents who were and are extremely enamored of themselves and their generation. Good for them, I say. Now maybe just give me a five second break from it here and there. Maybe?

(When that commercial comes on that shows those guys in their 60s rocking out with their garage band playing Beach Boys or Beatles covers or something, feeling all hot because they use Just for Men Touch of Gray or they took their Viagra, I have to turn it before I throw up. I hope to God my generation never gets represented in such an embarrassing way, thanks. Oh and Dennis Hopper talkin' bout how "oh we're still cooooool, we're still HIP, man, because we've got this RETIREMENT ACCOUNT" well, that sincerely gives me a chuckle. I guess in 20 more years it'll be all about how cool and hip they are because they're in the FreePeaceandLove Nursing Home or something. Milk it, boomers! Milk that one decade for the REST of your LIVES! LOL.)
