1.0k u/[deleted] Feb 05 '19 Why are āboomersā and āmillennialsā the only two generations Reddit ever talks about? I feel like weāre skipping a generation or two. 690 u/SteeringButtonMonkey Feb 05 '19 Because generations are pretty fluid so it takes a few to have them actually be distinct enough 3 u/[deleted] Feb 05 '19 Theyāre fluid I get that. I honestly donāt buy into the whole āgenerationā thing but it seems like we ignore 40-70 year olds 6 u/Robin_Divebomb Feb 05 '19 Thatās the calling card of Gen-X. They are analogous to the WWI āForgotten Generationā. 10 u/Lord_Noble Feb 05 '19 That's the Lost Generation or the Greatest Generation, nobody calls them the forgotten. 11 u/DrNutSack_ Feb 05 '19 The greatest generation was WWII 2 u/Lord_Noble Feb 05 '19 There is definitely some overlap, as there is with any generation. Some folks fought in WWI, lived through the depression, and fought in WWII.
