Brosephine WiresI saw a poll like this last week, but I thought it would be cool to do it again with another major migration underway. Boost so we can get a better sampling.
Boomer
Gen X
Millennial
Gen Z
Poll ended at .
Peggy Stuart@JoParkerBear My generation isn't there. Maybe because there aren't very many of us, so we don't have a name. I'm a WWII baby, pre-Boomer. #twittermigration #LetMuskHaveTheBird

People born between 1928 and 1945 are known as 'The Silent Generation'
My 96 year old father was born in 1926 which lies in 'The Greatest Generation' (or in US sometimes called G.I. Generation) 1901 - 1927
Before that is 'The Lost Generation' 1883 - 1901
There was no official caterorisation prior to that.
@AndyPaciorekArt Silent because there are few of us? (Relatively speaking…or not, since we’re silent?) President Biden is my age. He isn’t so silent. 😁
@PeggyStuart
I think mostly due to lower numbers and as someone else mentioned that formative years were spent in The Depression and/or WWII

@AndyPaciorekArt Yes. My parents had been married for nine years before they could afford to have my brother in 1940. My mother said they lived on oatmeal during the depression.

Hard times indeed. I am fascinated by the dust bowl and have some books of FSA documentary photography of the time.
