It's kinda early to make that call for the younger generations, don't you think? Imagine if the legacy of Boomers was tied to what they did in their youth. We'd know them as little more than peace-talking hippies (on one end), to consumerist yuppies (on the other end.) In the decades since their 20s, Boomers have solidified a very different self image. Now, nearing the end of their influence (at least, I fucking hope so), their legacy is basically sealed.

In turn, the current generation of youngin's still has many, many years to make a name for themselves. We have to wait and see until the kids even younger than them grow up, because as the people who will be around longer than the rest of us, they will be the ones choosing what the rest of our legacies are.
