Generation Jones

Generation Jones is the generation or social cohort between the baby boomers and Generation X. The term was coined in 1999 by American cultural commentator Jonathan Pontell, who argues that the term refers to a full distinct generation born from 1954 to 1965.[1] Media coverage of Generation Jones typically has described it as a distinct generation, using Pontell's dates.[2][3] Others see this as a subset of the Baby Boom Generation, primarily its second half.[4][5] A third view is that Generation Jones is a cusp or micro-generation between the Boomers and Xers.[6][7]
