I’m Gen Jones. Depending on author, I am both Boomer & X in studies.
When the “Ok , Boomer” thing started I had no clue what the animosity was about. Still don’t.
Gen Jones is the last chunk of the Boomer years. That’s me. No connection to Dylan, or Vietnam War, no memory of JFK.
I remember AIDS & Reagan. LPs. Sex Pistols, The Cure, R.E.M. (all Gen Jones too)
I was raised by tv & the microwave oven blew our minds. 😂
Yep, I own this tee.

Gen Jones here too. No memory of JFK, but I do remember seeing Vietnam War on the news at night. And when it ended my daddy took me out to listen to all the church bells ringing in town. But def the precursor to GenX. Issued a house key at the age of 6 and babysitting for money at age 12. TV helped raise us all.

Most of my friends did have SAHM's. My mom worked though. And I was tasked with helping care for little sis once I proved I could care for myself. Which was pretty early on.
@Anouk @CinnamonGirlE I had 4 younger brothers and babysitting was called “family”. It was not fun!
@NorCalCherylLyn @Anouk
I Had a younger sister and was the oldest of all my cousins. Built in babysitter in me.
I think my family still sees me that way at times. 😂
@CinnamonGirlE @NorCalCherylLyn @Anouk
Oldest of six kids. I was the free babysitter for many years.
@CinnamonGirlE @Anouk ack…there are advantages to moving far away.
@NorCalCherylLyn @Anouk
I consider it every day of my life. 😂
@CinnamonGirlE @NorCalCherylLyn
I forgot about the babysitting. I hated to do it. 😁
The majority of Gen Jones did not have WW2 veteran fathers, and we mostly had stay-at-home Moms.
I’m sure Vietnam news was on our ONE black & white tv, I just don’t remember.
