Greatest Generation (born circa 1901 to 1924) Silent Generation (circa 1925 to 1945) Baby Boomers (circa 1946 to 1964) Generation X (circa 1965 to 1985) Millennial Generation (circa 1985 to 2000)
I don't know where you got your years but they tend to vary slightly depending on your source. The whole named generation thing started (best I can tell) with readers digest. There have been several other publications to jump on the bandwagon since then and not all of them agree with the periods. I am never sure which generation I am in since I fall on a border between gens and different publications have my birth year listed as either one of two.
Me too. I am Gen X and 52.
I'm a border one too. I never felt attached to the millennials (1980-1985, depending on source), but always felt attached to Gen X.
Either way, the Silent Generation really fucked things up.
Not really. Started before the silent generation. Or does everything that happened in the mid to late 1800s (civil war and Lincoln assassination) and early 1900s, which set everything up today, not matter? What's important about the temperance movement? What did that turn into? Hint, suffrage and marxist feminism. What about 1911, 1912, 1913?
This is why the generational divide canard is constantly played by Jews and repeated by jews and the indoctrinated alike. There's no truth to it and it only exists to divide and sow anger amongst ourselves.
Every generation has failed us. Every generation has swallowed lies and propaganda. There is no generation without fault.
The most important thing to understand is that generational labels are completely arbitrary. Ultimately it doesn't matter where you fall. They can only describe a shared experience but never a common behavior or trait.
This confusion and associated purposeful conflation is used for propaganda to sow generational division where none actually exists.
Shared experience: the silent generation saw the great depression. True.
Shared behavior: the silent generation sold their children because of the great depression. False. Some did but it wasn't a generational behavior.
