Agreed. I think because of all the shyt millenials went through, when they inherit the throne, their going to go buck.

If it’s a lie, then we fight on that lie.
Millennials is like 3 different groups by itself. So no, I don’t agree.

This.
Generally, Greatest generation are the parents of boomers. And the boomers are the parents of millennials.
Silent generation are the parents of Gen x and Gen X are the parents of Gen Z
On pure numbers alone , greatest generation had a much bigger population than silent generation. And he boomers were much more numerous than Gen x
Likewise, Millenniall generation has much more people than Gen z
The Echo Boomers
millenials were literally called echo boomers in the early to mid 2000s.

Agreed. We need to make a distinction between 1980s millenials and 1990s millenials. The former share similarities with Gen X (Xillenials)
Xennials - Wikipedia
Makes sense because someone born in 1981 or 1982 spent their childhood in the 1980s and early 90s, graduated high school in the late 90s and graduated college in the early to mid 2000s. They were already young adults in college when 9/11 happened .
And the latter share similarities with Gen z Zillennials - Wikipedia

Yup.
GG, Boomers and Millenials are large cohorts that have been expected to lead the country.
Silent, Xers and Z have had a significant and outsized cultural impact but are sort of like the 2nd son.
A Boomer or Millenial is like having to be Prince William.
Being Gen X or Gen Z is like being Prince Harry.
We still haven't had a Gen X president....

Xers and Zers are naturally rebellious against authority because they know they will never have to wear the crown. It's their job to challenge the system.....Boomers and Millenials exist to run the system.
Xers and Zers serve as a check/balance against Boomers and Millenials.

Greatest Gen and Boomers had social, political and economic power.
Silent and gen X had outsized and massive social/cultural impact even though they were smaller in numbers than the previous generation . They punched above their weight. They created modern or contemporary pop culture and spearheaded important and lasting cultural movements like the civil rights movements( mlk, black panthers, Malcolm X ), (1950s rock n roll( Elvis, little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, fats domino, chuck berry, etc) funk/soul ( Marvin Gaye, James brown) punk music, grunge ( Kurt cobain, Pearl Jam) ,and hip hop ( public enemy, run dmc, jay-z, Tupac, biggie, nas, 50 cent, Kanye west)
Greatest Gen/Boomers/millenials = mainstream
Silent Gen/ gen X /gen z = counterculture
Greatest gen presidents : JFK, LBJ, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush Sr
Silent Gen: Biden
Boomers : Clinton, bush jr,, trump
Gen x :none
Millenials: none
Gen z :none
Biden is a late Silent Gen. but he’s only 3 and a half years later than trump. Silent were born between 1928 and 1945. The older part of this generation(1928-1935) was too young to fight in WW2 but old enough to fight in the Korean War (1950-1953)
Boomers are born between 1945 or 1946 and 1964. So Biden is not a core or pure silent like MLK, James Brown, little Richard or Elvis Presley. As a late 1942 baby, He was too young to fight in the Korean War.
Obama is a member of generation jones.
Generation Jones - Wikipedia
Silents, Gen x and Gen z are more resourceful, individualistic, conservative in thought and in mores, and more skeptical towards authority than the greatest Gen, boomers and millenials. They distrust everything and are more self reliant

Hell, we could go even further.
I staunchly believe that xennials/late 80s and early 90s babies/Mid 90s jits are all built differently despite all belonging to the same generation.
I worked with college students when I was in my mid-late twenties. While there was something that bound us, it was clear to see there was nuance.
Additionally, I've peeped that a chunk of those xennials be on that

Life is absurd. Lean into it.
Even and odds; your logic is sound.
Silent generation is #1

Baby boomers have the best genetics compared to everybody else. Its a real shame seeing how gen x and the early-mid 80s millennials are aging terribly. Why my gen and gen x looking older than the boomer gen
