What generation do I belong to?

The Silent Generation, also known as the Traditionalist Generation, includes people born from 1928 to 1945. This generation experienced the Great Depression and World War II, leading to fewer births and a smaller cohort size. They are often characterized by conformity and traditionalism but also played significant roles in the civil rights movement, a pivotal moment in history. Their contributions to the creation of rock and roll music are also noteworthy. They lived through economic upheaval and prosperity in the UK, with similar experiences in the Soviet Union and Australia. The term “Silent Generation” was popularized by a 1951 Time magazine article, reflecting their perceived quietness during the McCarthy Era. They were known for their frugality, influenced by the hardships of their childhood. Many Silents married and had children young, contributing to the Baby Boomer and Generation X populations. Despite their reputation for conformity, notable figures like Martin Luther King Jr. and Bob Dylan emerged from this generation. They tended to vote more conservatively as they aged. The Silent Generation's parenting style was influenced by strict discipline, which later faced challenges from more permissive approaches.
