I don't think 1985 is the end of the baby-boomers. I thought it officially ended in the mid 1960's :

is a North American-English term used to describe a person who was born between 1946 and 1964. Following World War II, these countries experienced an unusual spike in birth rates, a phenomenon commonly known as the baby boom. The term is iconic and more properly capitalized as Baby Boomers. The terms "baby boomer" and "baby boom" along with others (e.g., "goomies" or "goomers") are also used in countries with demographics that did not mirror the sustained growth in American families over the same interval.

I have to think about the rest. Off the top of my head, this sounds like a different form of the X-generation phenomena, where the next generation can't succeed economically and have to return home to their parents. The alternative to not going back home would be to live with same-gens. The times just ain't what they used to be.
