The Lost Generation consists of people born between the years 1883 and 1900. Members of the Lost Generation serve as soldiers in World War I and participate in World War II as high ranking officers and politicians. They are the predecessor to Generation X as the Lost Generation is known for its alienation from society, disrespect for authority, and world-weariness. The Lost Generation is also considered to be very self-obsessed. These faults are corrected by the G.I. Generation with its focus on community and service, in much the same way that Millenials may soon correct the excesses of Generation X.
