silents
Silents typically refer to two different contexts: 1) In the context of movies or drama, 'Silents' refer to silent films or movies, which are films that were produced before the invention of sound technology, where there is no synchronized recorded sound and the actors express their emotions display their dialogues through muted gestures, pantomime, and title cards with a written indication of the plot or key dialogue. 2) In the context of demographics, 'Silents' or 'the Silent Generation' refers to the generation of people born between the mid-1920s to the early-to-mid 1940s, who came of age during World War II and the post-war years. This term is often used to represent this demographic cohort, as they were considered less vocal or 'silent' about their experiences and political views compared to the generations before and after them.
