1954 Boomer.
"The Silent Generation is the demographic cohort following the Greatest Generation and preceding the Baby boomers. Demographers and researchers use mid-to-late 1920s as starting birth years and early-to-mid 1940s as ending birth years for this cohort, with 1928 to 1945 a widely accepted definition.
It is unclear where the term originated. As young adults during the McCarthy Era, many members of the Silent Generation felt it was dangerous to speak out.[1] Time magazine first used the term "Silent Generation" in a November 5, 1951 article titled "The Younger Generation", although the term appears to precede the publication.[2][3][4] The name was originally applied to people in the United States and Canada but has been applied to those in Western Europe, Australia and South America as well. It includes most of those who fought during the Korean War. In the United States, the generation was comparatively small because the financial insecurity of the 1930s and the war in the early 1940s caused people to have fewer children.[3] They are noted as forming the leadership of the civil rights movement as well as comprising the "silent majority".[5][citation needed]
The cohort has also been named the "Lucky Few" in the 2008 book The Lucky Few: Between the Greatest Generation and the Baby Boom,[6][7] by Elwood D. Carlson PhD, the Charles B. Nam Professor in Sociology of Population at Florida State University.[8] Carlson notes that this was the first generation in American history to be smaller than the generation that preceded them. He calls the people of this generation "The Lucky Few", because even though they were born during the Great Depression and World War II, they moved into adulthood during the relatively prosperous 1950s and early 1960s. For men who served in the Korean War, their military service was not marked by high casualties as much as the previous generation. The Lucky Few also had higher employment rates than the generations before and after them, as well as better health and earlier retirement. African Americans in this generation also did better than earlier generations in education and employment.[9]
Australia's McCrindle Research uses the name Builders to describe the Australian members of this generation, born between 1925 and 1945, and coming of age to become the generation "who literally and metaphorically built [the] nation after the austerity years post-Depression and World War II".[10][11][12]
Date and age range definitions[edit]
Pew Research uses 1928 to 1945 as birth years for this cohort.[13][14]
Resolution Foundation, in a report titled Cross Countries: International comparisons of international trends, uses 1926 to 1945 as birth dates for the Silent Generation.[15]
Authors William Strauss and Neil Howe use 1925–1942 as birth years.[16][3]

Xennial. A hybrid of Gen X and Millennial greatness (1977-1983).
Not just your niche, but if “news” were all one judged by, virtually every bracket would be demonized.
Fortunately local news will often have some story about the good that people do, & while there is still a lot of evil, good does exist, but it usually just is not “newsworthy”.

According to that, I'm a Gen Xer. There's no way in the world I'm a Gen Xer. I consider that a huge insult.
Why is the median so far from the average? Statistically, the mean and median are usually close in financial matters.
