Sometimes I feel old but then I get reminded that I ain't old at all. What is a Millennial? What years are they born in?

Monday?
There's a Mon-day... So now there are eight days in a week?
Also the numbering of the days... I never got that...
I guess it works if you know what number day you are currently in and I suppose being cognizant of the current timeline helps too...
Being there a no horse and carriages roaming the streets and nobody's using jet packs yet (definitely no horses with jet packs... That was messy), that narrows it down...
I hate having to turn on the the news to figure out which timeline this is...
Eeeeew... (I just checked)...
Okay... I can work with this...
Anyway...
Assuming I'm still alive, I remember and I don't do anything to mess up this current timeline, I'm gonna try and remember to wish you a proper happy birthday on this Monday thing.

According to this calendar thingie, Monday apparently comes after Sunday and Tuesday is before Wednesday... And no more Lumpisday... So still only seven day in a week.
Interesting.

I always thought "Generation X" referred to the mutant generation... People like Wolverine and Barnacle Guy...
So it's just a reference to a bunch of years?
That's boring... I like it better when I guess at something and make up a story that seems plausible.
Okay, maybe "plausible" isn't the best word for my stories...
Maybe "momentarily entertaining".

The Silent Generation? I always referred to me as a War Baby as I was born in the middle of WWII. I'm familiar with all the other group names, but Silent Generation is new to me. I've not heard that one before.
I have a friend who's a Baby Boomer, and who always says I'm a Baby Boomer too, and I keep correcting her because I was born "during" the war, and not after it when the troops came home, and reunited with their spouses.
Being born in 1946, I am a Baby Boomer but my siblings were all born from in 1940, 41, 43 and 44, so they are not?
Wow!
Wow!
I'm Gen X
Hope you're feeling much better for your Birthday FL!
We are getting a small part of that Winter storm and it is cold and damp but I'm determined to have a good day.
Those born between 1925 and 1942 were first called the Silent Generation in 1951 in a Time essay. The children of this generation were described as unimaginative, withdrawn, unadventurous, and cautious. How could they not be? They grew up during the Great Depression when something like 24% of Americans were unemployed.
I've read several reasons for why this group was called "silent." One being they were raised during a time when children were expected to be seen but not heard and that people were far more focused on their career and less interested in being activists. But, it wasn't safe for them to speak freely about opinions and beliefs. The House Committee on Un-American Activities was attacking political freedom and Senator Joseph McCarthy embarked on a witch hunt for anyone with the slightest possibility they were sympathetic toward communism. Consequently, people had to be cautious about where they went and whom they were seen with. This was a generation that was effectively "silenced."

I suppose it may have been a rough time for certain opinions and attitudes but I would never describe any of my siblings or their friends as "unimaginative, withdrawn, unadventurous, and cautious".
They had a huge imaginations and very adventurous as well as being little daredevils for sure.
I wouldn't either FaeryLight. Cautious yes ... in terms of money and security. And while my elders were certainly rather opinionated, they were also a bit too accepting of our leaders. But that could be an older folks kinda thing because my generation has certainly become far too complacent and far too willing to let the old men in power run things. Who'dathunk that the kids who ran around protesting and rejecting everything their parents stood for would become old fogies.
