Which gen are you 👧, your mom 👩, and your grandmom 👵🏻?

Who came before Boomers? What’s the ‘X’ in Gen X? Why’s Gen Z built different? Here’s your no-cap guide 📱 to every named generation so far

The OGs: Lost (1883–1900), Greatest (1901–1927) & Silent (1928–1945) 🕰️🎖️

The Lost Generation? First gang to get a label. First to grow up in the 1900s. And first to get hit by a World War in 1914, right as they became adults. The label stuck because the war shattered their ties to tradition, leaving them disillusioned in a world that felt broken.

The Greatest Generation? Tough crew. The Great Depression in the '30s wrecked banks, killed jobs, and left people lining up for bread. Then came World War II. Survival was the only vibe, no cap. And somehow, they still cooked up jazz, swing, and hustle culture before hustle was even a word.

Born between wars, the Silent Generation came of age during the Cold War — a no-chill Team US vs Team USSR standoff with nukes on standby. They kept quiet, followed the rules, raised their kids old-school, and left the drama for future generations.
