You wrote that the generation just before the "Baby Boomers" was the generation that won World War II, the "Greatest Generation". Are you stupid or disingenuous?

Baby Boomers are a category born between 1946 and 1965. The generation before them, therefore, is the one born, roughly, 1930-1946, none of which served in WW2.

To foster a generational "war" between Baby Boomers and Gen Xers means you, clearly, are exactly what your handle says: An agitator.

This is not a serious debate.

Just ask Gen Y, those born between 1982-2003.

When you have a serious conversation with anybody in Gen Y, they dislike Gen Xers more than you dislike Boomers.

Watch your back. Gen Y is gaining on you!

Why would Gen-Y dislike Gen-X more than Gen-X dislikes babyboomers? I'm Gen-X, though close to the babyboom cut-off. My parents were young when they had me and my grandparents are WWII generation. I have friends with parents close to my grandparents' ages. I'm very interested in inter-generational issues. My own sons were born in the 90's. Guess they're Gen Y.

i'm sorry, but nobody likes boomers but boomers.

"Baby Boomers are a category born between 1946 and 1965. The generation before them, therefore, is the one born, roughly, 1930-1946, none of which served in WW2."

Yes, the 'silent generation' born 1930-1946 experienced WWII as children (most of them) and some experienced the depression as children. Many fought in the Korean War.
They were coming of age in the Eisenhower and Kennedy administrations.

It is not really helpful to generalize about generations.
There are creative, hard-working people in every generation. And some lazy,mean-spirited and resentful people in every generation.
