Generation Jones
I was born in 1964, the last year of the Baby Boomers, and, I’ve always thought I’d didn’t really have a claim to this era.
I’m too young to be a true Boomer, and, too old to be a Generation X-er.
But, thanks to Boomj, a Boomer lifestyle, and, social network, I have just discovered that I am part of Generation Jones.
We were “weaned on The Brady Bunch and Easy Bake Ovens and later were the teens of 70’s heavy metal, disco, punk and soul.”
I had no idea.

I’ve seen lots of references to Generation Jones in the media, and am proud to be a Joneser. Like you, I was born in 1964 and always felt in-between Boomers and Xers…

You guys are also Boomers. I was born in 1946, the first year of the Boomers. 1946 to 1964 is only 18 years total! Seems as if a “generation” ought to cover at least that much time!

I was born in 1961 and have nothing in common with someone born in 1946. I am closer in age to my oldest niece who is a Gen-Xers than I am to you. IMHO, the defining difference between boomers and the rest of us is the impact that the Beatles had on one’s life. The Beatles were old hat by the time that I started to listen to rock.
One last thing: look at management in most companies. Almost every manager above the level of supervisor is 54 or older, and most of these people have been in a management position above supervisor for well over twenty years. You guys got there first and erected barricades in the early 1990s and again in 2001 to keep us from moving into management

Nice to know there are others that don’t quite fit these nice little “packages” they stuff everybody into now.

I was born in 1963, but I do not identify with baby boomers. That having been said, I do not identify with generation jones either. As I see it, the problem with the term “generation jones” is that it seeks to group people born from 1954 to 1965 in one generation. That having been said, I identify with people born in 1954 no more than I do people from 1945. They grew up in an age when there were almost no Saturday morning cartoons (Saturday morning as we know it did not come about until around 1964). When they were growing up, black and white TV sets were the norm. There are a number of other cultural factors that create a mile wide gap between myself and someone nine years earlier. As far as I am concerned, I am and always have been Generation X. Those born before me were Baby Boomers.

Caregiver Pete and Mercurie seem to have trouble accepting the existence of Generation Jones. Or call us what you want. I was born in ‘59 and there were Saturday Morning cartoons from when I was old enough to watch TV. And that was in a rural part of the US with only 2 television station. Those of us born between 1954 and 1965 have attributes of both generations. For one, most of us were born into families whose sibilings spanned both generations. So it is hard not to have some of both rub off on that. There are Jonesers who have Boomer siblings, and Jonesers who have X’er siblings. For caregiver Pete, nearly 20 years is too long to lump one generation together. You basically have Boomers giving birth to Boomers then, right? Again, we were the generation that grew up listening to Led Zeppelin and Boston…not Cream and Janis…even though they are cool…we watched the Brady Bunch and Love American Style…listened to the first punk like the Ramones and the Sex Pistols…by not having a complete identity of our own at first, we have formed one over the years by reminiscing about coming of age in the mid 1970’s to mid 1980’s…that is what we are about. So don’t try to sell us off to the Baby Boom Generation or Generation X.

I looked up gen x and baby boomers bc 2x this week news media clumped me in with boomers and I never heard that and never related. Born in ‘60 I remember we were the generation after the hippies and wanted that experience but no matter what, that music was nostalgia already (joplin, hendrix, cnn, etc). we went thru the crazy changes in the economy from plenty to tight (pres. regan) and were not real happy when disco got big. punk was good. gen jones was pretty lost but we have each other and it makes me feel better.

I think I have finally found a home. I am so sick of following the Boomers, and so tired of being lumped in with them. I was born in ‘57. Growing up in academia I have had the Boomers in my face my whole life - self righteous, preachy, hypocritical and greedy. I cannot WAIT for them to be gone.
And they can take the Beatles and CSNY with them, I’ll take Alice Cooper and the Sex Pistols.

I was born in 1970 and part of generation x, but I come from a big family of Jonesers. I have four older siblings born from 1962-1966. Our parents were part of the silent genration born btwn (1930-1941).
My siblings and their friends despised the hippies and their idealism. They grew up listening to punk, new wave and metal. Their friends they would bring over reminded me of the characters from “Fast Times at Ridgemont High”.
They were not about social protest and changing the world at all. I am glad to see this generation properly itentified.
Generation Jones influenced us Xers more so than the boomers. Our coming of age period was btwn 1985-1999. We grew up on a heavy dose of alternative rock, rap, and death Metal. Nirvana was our Beatles.
We tend to be cynical, alienated, but very realistic individuals.

I think there’s quite a bit of overlap. I was also born in ‘64, the final year of the Baby Boom, and I certainly relate to the (the people commonly refered to as) Baby Boomers. I realy don’t feel much of a connecton with Generation X’ers at all. I’ve always been very political, and my politics were shaped by the ideals of the ’60s (which I certainly was aware of, even as a kid during the ’60s, even if I was too young to protest and sit in). I’m extremely put off by the cynicism and apathy of so-called Generation X, almost as much as I am by the entitlement of Generation Y-ers. Musically, I listen to Dylan, Joni Mitchell, the Eagles, and Allmans (’60s-’70s), as well as U2 and R.E.M. (’80s), but rarely listen to music more recent than, say, 1992.
I understand that there may be others approximately my same age, who have more in common with the succeeding generation, and this ls largely due to life experience, I think. That’s why I think there is some overlap of people born during the early - mid ’60s.

“Boomers were defined as born between Boomers 1946 to 1964….. demographers, sociologists and the media define baby boomers as those born between (and including) 1946 and 1964.
My take on the Boom generation, Generation Jones and Generation x.
I have a big problem accepting that birth rates define a generation rather than shared cultural experiences. A generation does not always have to be a perfect 20 years. The time frame of a generation should reflect specific shared attitudes. The generations should be redefined as follows:
G.I. GENERATION (1901-1922)-Reagan, Nixon, Kennedy, LBJ, Ford. Their children were the most radical of the boomers
THE SILENT GENERATION (1923-1936) Jimmy Carter (1924) should be the poster boy for the silent. They are great negotiators but not strong leaders. They were obedient to both the boomers and GI. Elvis Presley was very typical of this generation. Elvis would never speak out about Vietnam and would try to bridge the gap between the counter culture and the G.I.s. George Bush Sr (1924) would be an exception. He fits in more with the GI,s but was born in a cusp year.
THE BOOM GENERATION (1937-1956)- The most radical anti-war, idealist of this generation were born in the late 1930s and early 1940s yet they are never included in the traditional boom years of 1946-1964. Abbie Hoffman (1937), Jerry Rubin (1938), Tom Hayden (1939), Jane Fonda (1937), George Carlin (1937), Peter Fonada (1939), Ted Turner (1939), Richard Pryor (1940) John Lennon (1940), Joan Baez (1941), Bob Dylan (1941). You can’t tell me these activist fit the mold of the silent generation. Was John Lennon really part of the silent generation??? People born after 1954 were too young to be affected by Vietnam and to participate in Woodstock. Some of the early punk rock and heavy metal pioneers like Billy Idol (1955) member of the punk band “Generation X”, Johnny Rotten (1956) of the Sex Pistols were born during the cusp years.
Generation X- (1957-1976)-The early part of this generation born btwn 1957-1962 are cusp years, but a great majority of them will tell you they identify with generation x more than the boom generation. It might have to do with the generation their parents were from. Some of the early Xers may have been the youngest child born to G.I. parents. They might have been influenced by older siblings and identify with the boom generation, but the first-born child to parents of the silent generation are more likely to be Xers. The silent generation married very young and were already having children in their early 20s. The silents also had a high divorce rate and a good portion of Xers grew up in a dysfunctional home. I can never understand why some like to start this generation at 1965 and as late as 1968. I was born in 1970 and always felt I was more on the tail end of this generation rather than the middle. It was not just about growing up in the 1990s. Our generation came to age in the 1980s and our youth culture lasted to the mid 1990s. Our generation did begin and end with Nirvana. You must have been coming of age when MTV, New wave and heavy metal music was popular during the 1980s, and you must have been old enough to remember the polices of the Regan era. Most of our distinctive members (poster boys) were born in the late 1950’s and early 1960s. Tim Burton (1958), Bill Watterson (1958) wrote Calvin and Hobbes. Quentin Tarantino (1963) director of Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs, Richard Linklater (1960) directed Slacker, Ben Stiller (1965) directed Reality Bites, Mike Judge (1962) directed and wrote Office Space, Bevis and Butthead, King of the Hill. Douglas Coupland (1961) wrote Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture. The bad boys of SNL, Rob Schneider (1963), Chris Farley (1964), David Spade (1964), Chris Rock (1965), and Adam Sandler (1966) were fired from SNL because the older generations did not get their humor. Most of the new wavers, hardcore punk musicians and thrash metalist were also born in the early 1960s. James Hetfield of Metallica (1963), Tom Araya of Slayer (1961), Axle Rose of GnR (1962), Henry Rollins of Black Flag (1961), Perry Farrell (1959) of Jane’s Addiction and creator of the Lollapalooza festival. New Wave, Goth, Techno, Rap, and Electronica pioneers like Duran Duran, U2, The Cure, Depeche Mode, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Iced T, Run DMC, Beastie Boys and R.E.M. were all born in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The core of the alternative rock bands like Rage Against the Machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Primus, Sound Garden, Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins, Marilyn Manson and Nirvana were all born in the early to late 1960s. The bands that came out of the very tail end of generation x developed the nu metal and emo sound that kids listen to today. Bands like Korn, Limp Biscuit, Linkin Park, Creed, Green Day, and Eminem were born in the early to mid 1970s. This period was also the beginning of the hip-hop culture that senator Obama likes to identify with.
GENERATION Y (1977-1995)-Most of these young teenagers and young adults were pampered as children by their boomer parents during the affluent 1980s-90s. Every one of them has a Myspace page, a Facebook account, an IPod, watches reality TV, a cell phone that has a Kazillon different functions, and they can’t remember a time before the Internet, play station and Xbox. The youth culture for the first part of this generation born btwn 1977-1981 is still heavily influenced by the latter part of generation x pop culture. Generation Y’s youth culture began in the late 1990’s and is the current culture in place today. Hip Hop, post grunge, nu Metal, and emo punk were the predominant culture for the early gen Yers. The latter part of generation Y’s culture from 1982-1995 are influenced by pop bands like ‘N Sync, Backstreet Boys, Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake and various stars from American Idol. Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Britney spears are generation Y’s version of the brat back.

I like Marc’s well written, detailed description of those who shaped different generations. He couldn’t be more right about the leaders of the Boomers actually being born in the late 1930’s and early 1940’s. I am married to a boomer but date both boomer and Xer girls. I fit in with both types fine. My wife, although older and a Boomer really identifies with Gen Jones well. Some of her friends though are outright annoying Boomers, ex-hippies who yap endlessly about the “good old days” of protesting, listening to CSN, blah blah blah. I love saying that at that time I was 7 years old and got my first bike- a gold Schwinn Sting Ray! Really shuts them up! They always try to drag me into “their” generation, of which I have nothing in common with.

I have often reflected on why I could not quite identify with folks born during the 40’s and early 50’s. Nor do I relate to generation X fully.
Politically, I am far too socially liberal to be considered a conservative. Conversely, I want absolutely nothing to do “progressive” policies, born out of Marxism, which garnered popularity with 60’s radicals. Guess you could call me a libertarian, which seems to fit many from my age group. Moderates, or centrists, also make up a large group of generation Jones. After seeing extreme idealogues and their “culture war,” for decades, rationality and a practical approach are more in line with our policies.
It appears that we are indeed, an invisible generation, even though we make up such a high percentage of the population
Having been born at the beginning of this “generation,” (1954) I see few cultural icons representing my fellow “senior Jonesers. Hell, Kevin Costner is hardly someone you would associate as being a visionary. But then, he seems more like an everyday dude, who minds his own business and tends to his family needs.
I’ll take that over whining, egocentric, self righteous “moralists” any day.

Apr 16, 2008 at 3:54 pm
For years I have always felt the sting of perpetual bad timing! I never fit in, never really understood the ability of my seniors to accept fate and my Jr’s to defy it.
I was born in June of 1960, and like most we grew up in the middle of total chaos, Social unrest on one hand and the beginning of the wave into the “new economy” on the other. I clearly recall understanding, as a young teenager, that I would, like most young men, end up in the Jungles of Viet Nam at some point in my life (having watched the war my entire cognizant life), (1959-1975)
We had no real touchstones, nothing to truly identify with but we were still products of our parents. We grew up believing that if you are loyal, a solid citizen, fair and honest in your dealings with others you would reach the goal of having achieved the “American Dream” we then watched as company loyalty went out the window, some of our parents we “eliminated” from positions more than 30 years. Long term employment was a memory; pensions were a memory replaced by 401k’s or none at all. Many we had looked up to growing up, eventually sold out and became everything that they had railed against, and worse yet… reversed everything that we had been led to believe.
More and more we watched the world we had grown up in and many of the things we believed in deteriorate, waiting for our chance to fix it, yet as had been the case through our lives, we were patted on the head and told our time will come.
I believe we held out hope but as we age I see the cynicism growing by many in my age group and soon there will be no comparison the Gen Xers cynicism, ours will be wide spread and it will be aided by the hypocrisy of the boomers we have witnessed our entire lives.
Government has failed in our eyes, yet we all know we need it, the systems as a whole has been changed and slanted to ward off success, the boomer politicians have sold our country off wholesale to every nation on earth, they have indebted us to our future enemies as well as constructing barriers to wealth to ensure not to many join the club. Those people running our major corporations, the government, and the world for that matter are boomers and they are doing nothing positive as a whole and raiding the supply cabinet as they leave the building.

I completely agree with stuckinbetween 1960. The biggest thing we as Generation Jones can do is pray daily for Generation Y (our children). They will bring our country back to its former glory. Have hope and faith. Most of these kids are wonderful…Yes they expect the world but they also are willing to work for it.

Like most other peeps on this board, I got really sick and tired of being lumped in with the Boomers. The Boomers got everything and our generation ended up “jonesin” for what they had. Not all of us Joneser’s have the big house, great $$ paying job, two vacations a year, and the assorted crap that goes along with it. Some of us still struggle. But I have great hope in my daughter, a Gen Y child. I think they will find the best balance between having it all and having a balance - in life and in work (career).

Marc I don’t agree with your definition of Gen X. I think it’s too wide spread. I was born in 1967 and can’t really relate to people born in the late 50’s and early 60’s. The times they grew up in were so different then when me and my friends grew up.

I was born in 1970 and think those born in the 60s and early 70s have a lot in common with each other. When the gen-x label first came out, my friends and I thought it applied more to those a few years behind us than to us. People our age may have created grunge, but by the time it hit my college roommates and I were all TEACHING the kids who listened to it; I learned about it from the kids, not my peers. It seems the definition has gone beyond the grunge stereotype now. I think of Obama as being on the very leading edge of the group of us born in the decade after him and don’t see him as tied to Boomers at all.

For the posters who are gushing about the possibilities of an Obama administration, think again.
Can any of you name one piece of legislation that he has introduced and has been passed by Congress?
Don’t be blinded by the media’s take on this man. He is a far left-wing socialist, and with his policies along with a democrat congress , you will get to experience first hand what a socialist economy looks like.
I think too many of you enjoy the luxuries (everyday life here that is considered luxury in other countries) and comfort you are accustomed to, would be prepared to sacrifice any of them for a socialist economy. This man will through us into a deeper depression than the one your grandparents, or great-grandparents went through during the 1930’s.
And, don’t make the mistake of thinking how cool he looks, or what an orator he is. Listen to some of his responses to questions, when he doesn’t have a teleprompter in front of him.
Read some history about China, the former Soviet Union,, Cuba and North Korea, before you make a fianal decision to vote for Obama. You will be glad you did.

Aug 13, 2008 at 9:24 pm
Well gee, Dempseyblues - exactly the same criticisms were leveled at both JFK and FDR, who was often criticized as an ‘inexperienced lightweight’ during his first campaign.
And this silliness about ‘a socialist economy’ is pure horsefeathers. I don’t need to ‘read history’ about the former Soviet bloc, I traveled there in 1970 and I remember it quite well. Suggesting that Obama - or any other serious candidate would take us there - is pure partisan, paranoid, hyperbole. Exactly the kind of black/white thinking we need to grow out of.
Let’s not make this forum a political slugfest. There are plenty of good reasons to support or criticize either of the candidates without making stuff up, and this forum is about a different kind of conversation.

It’s me Lewisp again. We need a secret Gen. Jones handshake :-). Just joking. No really, I was looking at all of my music, records, tapes, cds, and mp3’s today. I never looked at it as Gen. Jones music or songs. Here are some names of songs that really give my Gen. Jones Heart a warm fuzzy less alone feeling. Most of this stuff is close to new, but the artist making it either are part of G.J. or recognize it. Needless to say U2, “I still haven’t found what I’m looking for.” The Cranberries, “Linger.” The Charlatans UK, “The only one I know.” Autolux, “Here comes everybody.” Tom Petty, “Last Dance with MJ.” Pavement, “Zurich is Stained.” The Police, “When the world is running down.” Radiohead, “Dollars & Cents.” Red Hot Chilli Peppers, “Otherside.” These are pretty good examples. Does anyone here have a song or list of songs they would like to share? Obama=sugar coated same old song and dance.
Thanks for letting me post.
