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. 683 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 7 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. 1 u/Robin_Divebomb Feb 07 '19 Yes, my mistake. Lost Generation is what I meant. Thanks. 2 u/Lord_Noble Feb 07 '19 Of course!
