Baby Boomer but I find it hard to truly call myself that. I think your time period for that is a little askew. I think of Baby Boomers as those who came of age in the 60s whereas that for me was more like the 70s.
Most of us born 55 and after were not really part of the 60s counterculture and all that. We were too young, not old enough to attend college where most of that was taking place. We might have experienced some spill over in our daily lives, but most of us were safe in our suburban homes. Our high school years and college years were in the 70s, where the biggest influences were arena rock, alcohol, political apathy, materialism, and later disco and punk.
I would suggest there's a post-Boomer group born between 55 and 64, and that those who mostly graduated high school in the 70s belong to the "Me Generation" vice the Boomer.
