There is a term for people like me and like cupcake's husband who were born very late Boomer.
I was born in late 1960.
Cupcake's hubby was born in 61.
Those of us in this weird "cusp" era are sometimes called "Generation Jones".
We were too little to do the whole Woodstock thing, we were too young to go to Vietnam, we missed the first rush of Yuppie-dom and the "Me" Generation, and we became sexually active JUST in time for AIDS to change everything.
For myself, I have a lot more in common with Gen X than I do with Boomers.
"Those of us in this weird "cusp" era are sometimes called "Generation Jones". "
Also called "tweeners".
Consider me in that group with you...I was born in '60 (my b'day is this month).
Even my husband, born in '55, has more in common with GenX than the boomers........
Why are some and some not - who knows.
