Im a huge fan of your logic.....
that whenever someone refers to the wwII generation, theyre clearly referring to the infants born at the end of the war that literally have no recollection of anything that went on during that time period.
Thanks for he compliment.
These are the facts. My logic nor yours changes the facts. Now if you want to discuss opinion as opposed to facts or logic, I see my life experience as being consistent with that of baby boomers.....hope this makes you happy.
Here is a brief description of each generation and their timeline working back from the present to the beginning of the 20th century. You will see that in ever case a generation is determined by when people were born. Note: there is a small window between 1943 and 1945 with no definition. I guess this means I am part of a really special group born during this time which cannot be categorized.
Generation Z is one name used for the cohort of people born after the Millennial Generation. There is no agreement on the exact dates of the generation with some sources starting it at the late 1990s or from the mid 2000s to the present day. This is the generation which is currently being born.
The Millennial Generation, also known as Generation Y, is the demographic cohort following Generation X. Commentators use beginning birth dates from the early 1980s to the early 2000s.
Generation X, commonly abbreviated to Gen X, is the generation born after the Western Post–World War II baby boom. Demographers, historians and commentators use beginning birth dates from the early 1960s to the early 1980s.
A baby boomer is a person who was born during the demographic Post–World War II baby boom between the years 1946 and 1964, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
Silent Generation is a label for the generation of people born from 1925–1942 notably during the Great Depression and World War II. The label was originally applied to people in North America but has also been applied to those in Western Europe, Australasia and South America. It includes most of those who fought during the Korean War.
"The Greatest Generation" born between 1900-1924 is a term coined by journalist Tom Brokaw to describe the generation who grew up in the United States during the deprivation of the Great Depression, and then went on to fight in World War II, as well as those whose productivity within the war's home front made a decisive material contribution to the war effort, for which the generation is also termed the G.I. Generation.
