Where do you fit on the Millennial Scale:

deadcatwithaflamethrower:

  • The Silent Generation: Born 1928-1945 (73-90 years old)
  • Baby Boomers: Born 1946-1964 (54-72 years old)
  • Generation X: Born 1965-1980 (38-53 years old)
  • Millennials: Born 1981-1996 (22-37 years old)
  • Post-Millennials: Born 1997-Present (0-21 years old)

In addition to defining the birth years of Boomers and Gen-X’ers,
Pew’s main focus with this research was to highlight where Millennials
end and the yet-unnamed “Post-Millennial” generation begins. The new
Millennial cutoff of 1996 is important because it points to a generation
that is old enough to have experienced and comprehend 9/11, while also
finding their way through the 2008 recession as young adults. Source.

Who coined the term Silent Generation, anyway? They’re not silent. Too many of them are old white bigoted racist asshats who won’t shut up.

*looks it up*

“While there were many civil rights leaders, the “Silents” are called
that because many focused on their careers rather than on activism, and
people in it were largely encouraged to conform with social norms.”

….Okay, that makes a lot of sense. Talk about something easy for Fox News and company to bank on and make bank on.
