What about The Cookies?
editTheir 1957 release of "Hippy Dippy Daddy," co-authored by Margie Hendricks and Darlene McCrea, predates Norman Mailer's use of the term in 1961, the earliest citation of the actual word in the "Etymology" section. The date of the release is abundantly referenced on line, e.g. at Discogs.com, but I don't know what would constitute a reliable source. Jackaroodave (talk) 12:43, 26 December 2018 (UTC)

The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Rolling Stones etc are not Baby Boomers. They were born from 1940-1945, which is the youngest of the Silent Generation.
editThe Silent Generation is defined as those born 1928-1945. Baby Boomers are defined as those born 1946-1964, with the Generation Jones cuspers as 1955-1964. Elvis Presley, Little Richard, Chuck Berry are Silent Generation members who were born in the 1930s. However, they were the ones who developed Rock n Roll during the 1950s and have nothing to do with hippies at all. However, the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton etc are the youngest members of the Silent Generation born in the 40s during World War 2, who were involved in 1960s and early 70s music. They are not Boomers at all, so I don't understand what kind of nonsense editors were putting in the article page. 2601:940:C180:3DB0:A515:D8A0:D5F5:E04D (talk) 09:01, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
- "The Silent Generation is defined as those born 1928-1945". Per the article on the Silent Generation: "People born in the later years of World War II who were too young to have any direct recollections of the conflict are sometimes considered to be culturally, if not demographically, baby boomers." Chuck Berry was born in 1926, and was part of the Greatest Generation (1901-1927). Dimadick (talk) 04:05, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
Latest additions
editI don't quite get the new opening montage. We've got kids going to Woodstock, marginally hippie-ish; a peace demonstration (there was certainly an intersection between hippie and anti-war demonstrators, but no equivalence at all, and none of the people in this picture appear in hippie garb or in any other way seem hippie; Carlos Santana (not a hippie) handprints at an Olympic venue. What's the point of including these? --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 07:11, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
