President Biden is the First President Elected From The Silent Generation
President Biden is the First President Elected From The Silent Generation
This is kinda blowing my mind right now.
I know generation bounds can be inconsistent, but I’m using this as the guideline:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation#List_of_social_generations
That puts Clinton, W, Obama, and Trump all as Baby Boomers and Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, and HW all as Greatest Generation.
You're viewing a single thread.
This is an entirely too rigid definition of generation. Biden was born in 1942. Clinton, W, and Trump were all born in 1946.
23 2 ReplyYour fact that those three were all born the same year is what I'm finding interesting.
16 0 ReplyGenerational boundaries are all made up anyway. A lot of people put Obama in Gen X being born in 1961, while the linked graph steadfastly places anyone before 1965 as a Boomer.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
9 2 ReplyOr all the "elder millennials" that are actually Gen X, like bro, 1980 is not a millennial. You were 20 when Y2K happened.
6 1 ReplyI was 16 when y2k happened. I'm definitely a Millenial.
2 0 ReplyCorrect. If you couldn't legally vote when Y2K happened and thought the Power Rangers were cool and not a kids show, you're a millennial.
