Are crosswords for Boomers? I like the difficulty of NYT crosswords, but i cant stand all the references to niche pop culture from the 60s , 70s, and 80s. Sure some are from "the classics" which isn't so bad, but I was born in 1990 and am more interested in trying to recall information from my own lifetime. Am I alone in this or do I have to wait 30 years for this to happen?
