The population grew quickly
The baby boom, which occurred from the late 1940s to the early 1960s, significantly transformed America by leading to a dramatic increase in the population and influencing various social, economic, and cultural dynamics. This surge in birth rates contributed to the expansion of the middle class, increased demand for housing, education, and consumer goods, and shaped social norms around family life. Additionally, the baby boom generation played a pivotal role in the civil rights movement, counterculture movements of the 1960s, and the evolution of American politics and economy in subsequent decades. The long-term effects of this demographic shift continue to influence societal trends today.
Cars with a larger capacity also were needed. Interstate Highways were also built to transport goods from one state to another as well as for workers transporting from suburbia to the cities.

New homes were very affordable at about $5,000, new cars from about $500
Oh, dude, a bicentennial baby is someone born in a year that marks the 200th anniversary of a significant event, like the founding of a country. So, like, if a country was founded in 1776, a bicentennial baby would be born in 1976. It's just a fancy way of saying you're old, but not as old as the event itself.
No, the baby boom did not occur in the 1920s; it took place after World War II, roughly between 1946 and 1964. The 1920s, known as the "Roaring Twenties," were characterized by economic prosperity and cultural change, but birth rates did not see a significant increase during that decade. The post-war baby boom was driven by factors such as returning soldiers, economic stability, and societal norms favoring larger families.

The baby boomer generation changed the demand in the US by shear volume. They're the largest population group in the US, and it is moving through our system like a turd thru a bowel. The boomers are a "We want what we want when we want it!" generation, so if they see something they "need" they buy it, causing an increased demand for that product or service.

The Baby Boomers generation predominantly participated in the counterculture movement in the 1960s and 1970s. This generation rebelled against traditional norms and values, advocating for social change and embracing alternative lifestyles.

In recent years, the generation that immediately preceded the Baby Boomers has come to be called the "greatest generation." Yes and no.
