That's a boomer thing, but nice try.
Boomers have been voting for a ~~century~~ about 64 years, the thing that changed in the 80s and 90s were Gen X coming of age.

That's basically when the first genx kids "came of age", most were still kids. Find another reason for the data, you're causating the correlation.
Crazy thought, maybe some other people stopped voting?
And literal children made up the difference? 🤦♂️
No, more boomers.
