I consider 1950’s artists and 1960’s artists to be of different generations. Same with 1960’s vs. 1970’s. Completely different in regard to culture, society, and mores. A generation used to mean approximately twenty years, but that was before change became so rapid. Now a generation can be as short as the four years of high school, if not less. Yeah, I know that’s not literally what constitutes a generation, but the meaning of words change.
