It’s All Over Now, Baby Boom

When Carlos Barientos III, possibly the last US baby boomer, turns 50 this New Year's Eve, the generation that once seemed to define for the world the energy, excitement, and even the irritating nature of youth will officially be “old” – even if, some might say, not entirely grown up. But what does this really mean?

MUNICH – Carlos Barientos III was born at 6:45 on the evening of December 31, 1964, a few miles northwest of Honolulu. This year, he will turn 50, quite possibly making him the last member of the US “baby boom” to do so. The generation that once seemed to define for the world the energy, excitement, and even irritating nature of youth will officially be “old” – even if, some might say, not entirely grown up. But what does this really mean?
