The youngest boomers were born in 1964, so they'd be in thier late 20s at the end of the 80's. Which were my parents.
I also dont think there's anything wrong with exposing your kids to older media, which was my point. Your kids will seek out new media without you, so giving them a foundation of things that came before helps expand thier knowledge base.
You're confusing Gen X and the boomers. Boomers were ~1948-64, making the youngest boomers 61 today.
