Generation Jones

Generation Jones is a name for people born between 1954 and 1965. This group is sometimes seen as a kind of bridge between the Baby Boom Generation (people born between 1946 and 1964) and Generation X (those born between 1965 and 1979). Generation Jones people grew up during a time when the world was changing rapidly. They were shaped by events like the Cold War, the civil rights movement, the Vietnam War, and the space race. They may have a mix of values from previous generations, like the Baby Boomers, with a more progressive outlook on things like gender, race, and sexuality.
