What generation am I if I was born in 1900?
If you were born in 1900 you belong to the generation known as The Lost Generation.
The Lost Generation, a term coined by Gertrude Stein and popularized by Hemingway, encapsulates the disillusioned youth who came of age during the Great War. Scarred by the horrors of the trenches and the futility of old-world values, they wandered through the Jazz Age with a sense of aimlessness and existential dread. Their prose and poetry, raw and unflinching, mirrored their fractured spirits and the chaotic world around them. In smoky Parisian cafés and bohemian enclaves, they sought solace in art and each other, forever marked by the war that shattered their innocence and reshaped their destinies.
