Hmmm…never heard of Generation Jones. 🤔

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.
@Anouk @NorCalCherylLyn
I am astonished. I was born in 1955. I vividly remember JFK and exactly where I was when he was assassinated. I was 8. I listened to Dylan & all the folk-singing anti-war artists. My oldest brother was drafted. 2 people we knew died in Vietnam. I was 14. Funny tee but nope, I identify as #boomer !
@wolfwoman @NorCalCherylLyn
Like all confusing things on the internet, some have Gen Jones starting in 1957.
Which makes sense.
All I know is I’d previously been grouped into “boomer” but I had no shared experiences with boomers.
@Anouk @NorCalCherylLyn
Simply a bit surprised, since I've never heard the term before now. But someone born in 1957 would have been 6, and probably in K or 1st grade in 1963. I can't imagine anyone of that age not recalling JFK. At least his assassination - it was the only thing on TV for days! Born at the edge, 1964? 5 years old during Vietnam & The Summer of Love. So I'm not doubting you or your experiences, it just seems very odd to me. 🤔
@wolfwoman @Anouk I was born mid 1957. Definitely remember JFK’s assignation. Remember Vietnam, Haight Ashbury, the fire hoses and dogs biting children.
