Not really. My father was a greatest, and he NEVER wore jeans, not even when he was working on the house or rototilling the garden. Ditto my FIL, who was also a greatest. Heck, guys weren't even allowed to wear jeans to high school in my day (grad 1967).
Exactly. My father never wore jeans (WWII vet).
I graduated HS in 1969 (hooray for 69! hehe)
Girls had to wear dresses or skirts; boys button down shirts and pants that were not jeans.
Wow..your parents must have been pretty old when they had you.
Not necessarily. The Greatest Generation ended in 1946, and is made up of the G.I. generation and the Silent generation. A woman born in 1946, the last year of of the Greatest generation, who had a baby in 1965, the first year of Gen X, was nineteen at the time of her child's birth.

Weren't those born in the 40s the Lost Generation? Thought I read that somewhere. I always considered the greatest generation to be those who were adults at the time. They (lost gen) were the kids born during the 30s and 40s. Too young to fight in WWII; maybe some fought in Korea (those born in the 30s).
G.I. generation (my grandparents): 1901-1924
Silent generation (my parents): 1925-1945
Boomers: 1946-1964
Generation X (me): 1965-1982
Millennials: the years vary, but most demographers put them between the mid-eighties and the early aughts.
Gen Z: follow the Millennials, years still fluid

The Greatest Generation was 1900 to 1925.
The Silent Generation...1925 to 1945.
Boomers are 1946-1964
I'm a boomer.
My parents were Silent Generation
My grandparents were Greatest Generation.

I could be wrong!
The Lost generation preceded the G.I. Generation. They came of age in during WWI.

My youngest, born 1986, is really pissed that she's a millennial. She says she hates her generation and has no respect for them!
She has a professional job and is constantly amazed by their work ethic (really their lack of). They expect someone to either show them how to do their job, or do it for them!
Are you effin' kidding me? Sweetheart, the Boomers and Xers designed it. We've been involved since it was Darpanet, and we still run the companies that allow you to access the World Wide Web from your pocket. Just because you can SnapChat doesn't mean you know squat about the Internet. Get a clue! This Xer as slacker nonsense is trite and old and completely unfounded.
Making something and being able to form ideas while growing up through utilizing something are two completely different things. When I graduated High School I had already voice chatted (before there was skype) with people from Palestine, Japan and the Isle of Man. Millennials are a global generation...Gen X was too busy getting "dazed and confused" to even look at a globe.
