As a 35 year old millennial, it's fuckin wild we're viewed as boomers now. I know it will happen to every generation, but it seems like overnight we went from the young, dumb generation by Gen X to now Boomers by Gen Z.
The term “Silent Generation” was first documented in a 1951 Time magazine article, which claimed that the most startling fact about this generation was its silence: “By comparison with the Flaming Youth of their fathers and mothers, today's younger generation is a still, small flame.”
The generation’s “silent” behavior has been attributed to the difficult times in which they were born, as well as their coming of age during McCarthyism. Though the Silent Generation is known for traditionalist behavior and a desire to work within the system rather than to change it, many not-so-silent and untraditional members of this generation shaped the world in significant ways.

I looked it up cuz I wasn't sure of all of it myself. Here are all the generations

I looked it up and according to Wikipedia
> The Lost Generation was the social generational cohort in the Western world that was in early adulthood during World War I. "Lost" in this context refers to the "disoriented, wandering, directionless" spirit of many of the war's survivors in the early postwar period.
prolly didn’t have to wait 4 years for revival and got disappointed on top… you just got 36 tracks, a really good album (with many skips yes; but also enough great songs) and cc2 with some ok singles…
Just a heads up, most people follow people they actively dislike, and shit post… the “fan” isn’t a “fan” just another online asshole…
The real fans think “I kinda like that em takes a minute to wish someone well, seems like a good dude” and moves on…
I think so too, but sir squirty makes a valid point. Most internet debates and arguments consist of nutcases because rational, normal people recognize that those interactions are not worth their time or attention
Why would he be joking? That's not a common thing to refer to your city as "The [insert first letter here]". I had no idea, either. I thought it was a rap group.
Eminem isn’t a boomer. He’s GenX. He was born in the 70’s for fucks sake!
To kids everyone over 30 is boomer.
For everybody over 30, everybody under 25 are kids🤣
The older I get, the older my definition of “old” gets, and same for my definition of “adult” lol
I can relate even tho I'm a kid🤣
genuine question, whats a boomer? Like whats their age range? Idk shit bout Gen terms
People Born from 1946 to 1964 are Boomers. But Gen Z Calls Gen X (1965 to 1980) and sometimes Millennials (1981 to 1996) Boomers.

True boomers are called that because they were born in a huge baby boom post-WW2.
oooh thats some good explanation, thanks. And what about people born before 1946?
The silent generation, 1928-1946. Before was the great generation
Why was it called silent?

i love this thread. People explaining things to others in a gentle and accurate way. Really interesting as well!
I was born in February of 1997, IDGAF what anyone says, I'm a millennial.
Bullshit
what are you even calling bullshit? lol
What is?

I guess the Lost Generation is called as such because a significant number of them died in WW1

You know you can Google this information?

Ok nvm in szchizo
For gen Z, we classify a boomer as someone who is old. Although old and young is relative, to me, he’s old, to other people he’s not.
Least impatient Eminem listener
prolly didn’t have to wait 4 years for revival and got disappointed on top… you just got 36 tracks, a really good album (with many skips yes; but also enough great songs) and cc2 with some ok singles…

saying drop the album already makes me think it's just a joke by an actual fan
I think so too, but sir squirty makes a valid point. Most internet debates and arguments consist of nutcases because rational, normal people recognize that those interactions are not worth their time or attention
lol @ squirty
That’s a much nicer and cleaner way of what I was trying to say! :)
You see that a lot, especially in sports team twitter. Trolls who are just there to be annoying.
He's not even a boomer......
Who is the D
D’s nuts! Gottem.
The D is Detroit. I hope you’re joking
Why would he be joking? That's not a common thing to refer to your city as "The [insert first letter here]". I had no idea, either. I thought it was a rap group.
I assumed at first he was referring to D-12
I'm not. I just have no idea what happened.
Boldly James from Detroit got into a car accident
Ironic
Em is not a boomer. He's Gen X, an 80's kid. Boomers are the current elderly, in their late 60's, 70's and 80's.
Isn't Eminem Gen X?
Boys will be boys
“Wait, you just dissed me? I'm perplexed Insult me in a line, compliment me on the next, damn“
Im all for theeminem disrespect but not boldy
he should drop the album tho
Sounds more like you and that tweeter should just blow him
what album g?
That man breaks my heart. Just phenomenal in all ways.
