    The Greatest Generation didn't even "survive the Depression" in that sense - they were kids during the Depression and while they suffered it was their parents making the hard choices The Depression generation is called the Lost Generation and they're mostly dead nowhttps://twitter.com/SaintSatellite/status/1237011485550882816 …

    This article talks about how this recession is nothing because Boomers had to survive the great depression. The depression was in the 30s but the baby boom began at the end of WWII, almost 20 years later. If you're going to insult me, can you at least do it factually?

        It's kind of obscene for someone who's actually in the Boomer cohort or even the ones before it to appropriate the Great Depression like it's their story The actual survivors of the era of WWI and the Depression *never* recovered, that's why they were Lost

        It depends on your position in society of course and the boundaries are fuzzy (Gertrude Stein coined the term specifically to mean vets of WWI, who in America were a relatively small subset of the population)

        But to me the term means the people who got no GI Bill, didn't directly participate in the glorious victory of V-E and V-J Day, and when they were told about the brand new America they were building in the dawn of the Space Age were too old and scarred to believe in it

        George Bailey as opposed to Harry Bailey, is a pretty good pop culture reference Standing on the bridge thinking about how every chance he had to do something good with his life got pissed away just so younger happier people could inherit a better world

        ? Do you mean the Silent/Korea Generation? Born 1928-1945? Too young to serve in WW II, but some of them were children in the Depression. The greatest Generation by definition were those who served in WW II and some were adults in the Depression)

        Maybe they're referring to the great depression caused by the advent of prog rock, and later the smiths. Boomers did have to survive that.

        My grandfather was born in 1914, and definitely "Greatest Generation" rather than Lost Generation. I'd say he "survived the Depression"

        Fair enough, the comment just pissed me off so I 6 may be speaking too broadly

        This tracks with my family history. My grandparents were definitely scarred by the Depression and it's one of the reasons why New Deal economics remained politically viable for so long. But their Lost Generation parents all disappeared, committed suicide, or just died in misery.

        My mom's generation, the Boomers, were born at the dawn of the greatest period of prosperity in American history and, having no memory of the Depression of fear of its causes, undid everything that made that sustained prosperity possible.
