Sorta forgotten... search for Generation Jones. If I remember the article correctly Jones is from '58 to 64. But it was also calling Jones GenX (probably shoulda saved it to supplement my 60 year old plus memory).
Ya ya, I know. STILL doesn't cover '65 to '80. But that would be Gen-X.(Something I consider myself to be the lead of) (last of the boomers, first of the gen-x)
Generation X. Well, there you go, I had forgotten about them, even though I have two clones from the era ... clones, spawn, call them what you will.
Still, the list is clearly numbered from 1 through to 6. Leaving no space at all for an entire generation. Common manners would call for a blank space for number 4, and moving the later gennys down so that the list had 7 separate epochs.
Have never heard of Generation Jones, until now. '54 to '65 So I'm a Jonesy ?
----- It is almost a jail sentence here, pronouncing Generation Z as Generation Zee.
Yo. The Baby Boom generation got its name because there were so many babies born, from the time that WWII soldiers came home to the time The Pill was widely available. But since that's a 20-year span, the earliest and latest of those babies grew up in different worlds. Generation Jones was named as a subset of those Baby Boomers to illustrate that. Before the Baby Boom, we didn't even classify generations.
And those born between 1964 and 1981 ???
ReplyDeleteWatching the other generations blame each other (for ...), while eating popcorn on the sidelines.
DeleteThat's the joke.
DeleteWhat about 1965 to 1980???
ReplyDeleteThat's the joke. Gen X is the forgotten generation.
