Furthermore, someone born in the late 60s grew up completely in a world dominated by the immediate threat of massive nuclear annihilation. I literally had nightmares about this as a kid, as no doubt did many others.
Someone born in 1984 has little or no memory of that world, as they were barely 5 years old when communism fell apart and the cold war ended.
