Certainly not anything close to what I was around during high school and college. Most of the folks I knew and saw were MUCH different than that. 'Course I wasn't exposed to the TV propaganda of the time either. No tv for us in Japan - didn't convert over our boob tube, and got way out of the habit of watching tv while there, and that stuck for a looooong time after returning to the States. Most my 'peers' were hard working normal run of the mill kids - summer jobs, high school football and such. All of 'em 'boomers' - solid folk for the most part.

Could be just different geography - Midwest/West Texas versus the fringe concentrations along BOTH coasts - then and now.
