Generation Jones
I think this comment deserves its own space…………. as I think it more accurately describes what I was driving at in my previous post about Baby Boomer Or A Cusper. So thanks rwty800 for the comment - and here it is;
Interesting blog you’ve got here. Congrats. Like you, I was also born into the generation between the Boomers and Xers, and relate strongly to it. This generation has finally got a name which has caught on in a big way, but it’s not “cuspers”! (Cuspers is a term which is used to describe those in between any two generations. It’s most often used these days to describe those between GenX and GenY. While Saltzman isn’t the first to use the term for those between Boomers and Xers, she is virtually the only expert who uses that term this way. Take a look on Google and you’ll see this is true.)
By contrast, The term “Generation Jones” has developed a big national (and international) following as a moniker for our long lost generation between Boom & X. Google Generation Jones, and you’ll see it’s gotten a ton of media attention, and many top commentators from many top publications and networks (Washington Post, Time magazine, NBC, Newsweek, ABC, etc.) now specifically use this term.
Here is an op-ed about GenJones as the new generation of leadership in USA TODAY:
