Hmmm…never heard of Generation Jones. 🤔

I've heard of it. It's kind of a subcategory since the Baby Boomer gen is so massive, and younger Boomers often don't quite feel like they belong with the elder Boomers.
Kinda like how we have "Elder Millennials" now who have one foot in with Gen X.
@Agatha sounds about right.

Same for me with Gen Jones. The "keeping up with the Jonses" part doesn't suit me at all. I have always done my own thing with little thought of trying to impress others.
@CinnamonGirlE @Agatha this is the way..,
@NorCalCherylLyn
My sister is a later 1950s Boomer who wasn't old enough to really be a part of the protesting hippie gen, and she's not at all conservative politically. My brother was born in 1965 and, depending on which chart you look at, ends up in both gens. But, he's definitely more like an X in music, attitude, etc. But he's more optimistic than the typical X. 😂
So "Jones" fits them both better (but without much care for "keeping up with the Joneses".)
