It was new to me to. Folks born in the early 60s really are sort of in limbo between the boomers and gen-x. It's interesting that you strongly identify with the boomers. I know! It was new to me to.

I was born in 1956 and definitely identify with the boomers. I'm going to have to read into Gen Jones. I’ve never heard that phrase. I was born in 1956 and definitely identify with the boomers.

"I'd like to teach the world to sing, in perfect harmony..." Jonesers can all probably sing that pepsi commercial.

But noooooo, that ad campaign didn't hit until 1963 so I'm a Joners. Although I can't really remember ever trying to "Keep up with the Jones". It seems I'm lumped into the "big picture" Baby Boomer Generation that's getting blamed for everything these days. Oh well. Hope you get some sleep! Thanks for this post.

Pretty descriptive! Anali - I totally agree that remembering JFK's assassination would make a good dividing line. It's pretty clear cut. Pam - the feeling about "tweeners" is mutual. We GenJonesers have characteristics very unique to our generation that aren't shared by Boomers or GenXers. Hi Liz – your “tailgaters” made me laugh. Pretty descriptive!
