“We’re the greatest generation! We told our parents to shut the fuck up and stay silent, while we kick hitler’s ass. Our cups runneth over with booze, our cocks swing freely, and our children are booming! Like I said. We’re the greatest generation.”
Nope, you’re thinking of the Lost Generation, nope Silents were called that because like Gen X, they were fewer in number than the post-war Boomers, and becuase they were generally known for being cautious and thrifty, having grown up in the shadow of WWII but too young to fight in it.
Edit: in case you were wondering, the generation before the Losts is now sometimes called the Missionary Generation. Theres a list of tentative names for generations going back to the 1400s in this wikipedia article if you’re curious. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strauss–Howe_generational_theory

Not sure if you’re implying it but the Silent generation was sandwiched between the Greatest and the Boomers.
I thought the silent generation was the ones who were the greatest generations parents, and adults in the 1920s. During silent movie era.

sounds pretty good to me. better than the shithole we’re stuck in now.
then again… we’re stuck in this shithole because of their kids so they couldn’t have been that great.
