“This is so retarded. Born in 1963 and I have nothing in common with folks born in the late 40s and 50s...”
Early Boomer. In 1963 I was in 7th grade and vividly remember hearing Kennedy had been killed. Vietnam directly impacted a lot of us. We had an entirely different life experience.
“Generation Jones” is now used to differentiate the 1954-1965 cohort from early Boomers. It never made sense to extend the Boomer cohort to 20 years.
born in 54 could have served in VN...
I agree! Funny how the “Baby Boomers” are classified not by shared experiences, but due to the output of a population growth in the U.S.
Say what? LOL.
