Who is the “silent generation”?
I think they are just after boomers and before Gen X. Depends who you ask.

It's the generation between the "greatest generation" that fought WW2 and the boomers. Basically the guys who were in their 20s in the 1950s and early 1960s.
In generational theory, they came after the ‘Greatest Generation’, but before the Boomers. To young to serve in WW2, but young leaders during Vietnam. In generational theory, the Silent Generation never has anyone assend to the Presidency. People like Colin Powell.
People born during the depression. It’s the smallest generation of the 20th century, so not heard from much. Sometimes used to refer to kids born in the 70’s, which is also a small cohort sandwiched between the boomers and the GenXers.
The Silents are the generation between the WWII and boomers. They would have been too young for WWII and right about draft age for Korea.
They are akin to Gen X. They didn’t quite live up to the generation before them, and are not as outrageous as those coming after.
