What "Generation" are you in?

48. Generation Jones

Generation Jones is the generation or social cohort between the Baby Boom generation and Generation X. The term was coined in 1999 by American cultural commentator Jonathan Pontell, who argues that the term refers to a full distinct generation born from 1954 to 1965.[1] Media coverage of Generation Jones typically has described it as a distinct generation, using Pontell's dates.[2][3] Others see this as a subset of the Baby Boom Generation, primarily its second half.[4][5] A third view is that Generation Jones is a cusp or micro-generation between the Boomers and Xers.[6][7]

Members of Generation Jones were children and teens during Watergate, the oil crisis, and stagflation.[8][9] Unlike "Leading-Edge Boomers," most of Generation Jones, primarily its latter segment born from 1960 forward, did not grow up with World War II veterans (although some were Korean War veterans) as parents, and, as they reached adulthood, there was no compulsory military service and no defining political cause, as opposition to United States involvement in the Vietnam War was for the older boomers. For many, their parents' generation was sandwiched between the Greatest Generation and the Baby Boomers.[10] Also, by 1955, a majority of U.S. households had at least one television set,[11] and so unlike Leading-Edge Boomers born from 1946 to 1953, many members of Generation Jones (trailing-edge boomers) have never lived in a world without television. Generation Jones were children or teenagers during the sexual revolution of the 1960s and 1970s and were young adults when HIV/AIDS became a worldwide threat in the 1980s. The majority of Joneses reached maturity from 1972 to 1979, while younger members came of age from 1980 to 1983, just as the older Baby Boomers had come of age from 1964 to 1971.
