I've always held to the maxim; boomers are real, other generations aren't
The boomer phenomenon is the result of specific and unique circumstances, the aftermath of a World War, the US controlling half of world production, entire populations poisoned from birth by lead and other toxins, the advent of nuclear weapons
To me that makes them a byproduct of class war, and I don't think that other generations have escaped being shaped by class war even if it shaped them differently.
However I agree that the boomer generation is unique and has a stronger identity than most - due in large part to the reasons you bring up.
