jho, perhaps it is just old people in general that you dislike. I quite liked the older folks when I was young, but I must admit I have very little use for young people today. Can't stand being in their company, even briefly.
I'm talking about boomer culture that's toxic, the stuff that the boomers love. My favorite grunge era musical artista were mostly boomers, bu they were the exception to the rule and honorary GenXers.

Yeah, I'm not even sure what boomer culture is. As far as pop music goes, I haven't hear much of anything post '75 or so that is worth listening to. Granted I stomped out radio and tv then and began exploring older music, and music from outside of my own culture so I likely missed something
Dylan was only the best and most famous of a certain type of Jewish American folk / protest singer songwriter that came out of the fifties and early sixties coffee house scene.

Everything about our culture is prefabricated now though, things were just newer and less obvious then. If you only stood back and looked around for a minute back then you could see the majority of the leaders of the so called counter culture were Jewish campus radicals who were older people in their thirties that dated back to the beat generation. I actually had a next door neighbor in the nineties who was a leading figure in the local counter culture who was from this background. He actually organized the first Easter Be In in Stanley Park here in Vancouver back in 1967. He had been an award winning poet in the sixties but gave up writing for thirty years to devote himself to 'the struggle.'
The major difference then from today was that they were pro Soviet and anti American with the situation being reversed today. It was what E Michael Jones has called the Jewish revolutionary spirit that was being spread out among the baby boom goyim of course, and it hasn't ceased since.
