The generation that precedes the Baby Boomers is known as the Silent Generation, also referred to as the Traditionalist Generation
. The Silent Generation was born between 1925 and 1945 and follows the Greatest Generation (1901-1924) and the Baby Boomers (1946-1964)
. The term "Silent Generation" is derived from their relatively quiet and reserved nature, as well as their shared experiences during the Great Depression and World War II
