A generation is usually 20 to 22 years, but the labeling of "generations" doesn't always follow that guideline. The generation born between 1925 and 1945 was called The Silent Generation. Then came the Baby Boomers from 1946 to 1963, then Generation X (1964-1979), Then Generation Y (1980-1995). The Silent Generation mostly fought in the Korean War, so they were between The Baby Boomers and those who mostly fought in WWII who have come to be called The Greatest Generation, although obviously there is some overlap.
