Those of us who are "Post-Baby-Boomer, Pre-Generation-X" finally have a collective name, one which has already caught on quite a bit nationally: Generation Jones. Check out Generation Jones, and you’ll see it’s gotten lots of media attention, and many top commentators from many top publications and networks (Washington Post, Time magazine, NBC, Newsweek, ABC, etc.) now specifically use this term. In fact, the Associated Press' annual Trend Report chose the Rise of Generation Jones as the #1 trend of 2009.<br /><br />It is important to distinguish between the post-WWII demographic boom in births vs. the cultural generations born during that era. Generations are a function of the common formative experiences of its members, not the fertility rates of its parents. And most analysts now see generations as getting shorter (usually 10-15 years now), partly because of the acceleration of culture. Many experts now believe it breaks down more or less this way:<br /><br />DEMOGRAPHIC boom in babies: 1946-1964<br />Baby Boom GENERATION: 1942-1953<br />Generation Jones: 1954-1965<br />Generation X: 1966-1978<br /><br />Here are some good links about GenJones I found:<br /><br />http://www.usatoday.com/printedition/news/20090127/column27_st.art.htm<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ta_Du5K0jk<br /><br />http://generationjones.com/2009latest.htmlConnectingTheDotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03953576515209737142noreply@blogger.com
