I was reading about this the for a few months now and I think it’s been mentioned in Free Republic as well. It has also been called out in social commentary.
I’m glad that that has been recognized I have heard Boomer II in the past.
I can’t associate with Boomer philosophically because they are so much different than vintage 55-65 was.
What a difference 4 to 6 years makes!
There’s a lot of Boomers who I totally disagree with, mostly the 40s crowd, radicalized and leftist politics, Marxists. Their drug culture lit the fuse of we see today. The Democratic party was radicalized by those folks. There is a difference with the Boomer II/Jone’s and I think it’s about time it has been recognized as different and separate.
[WWW] “A subset of the Boomers, Generation Jones, was born in the later years of the Baby Boom, from 1954 to 1964.”
“Here is how large the two groups are in the Philadelphia area. Generation Jones makes up roughly 53 million of the boomer generation’s 76 million people.”
The draft ended, which has been defined as the end state of the Generation Jones. Years 54,55,had draft cards and were included in the last lottery. I was going in 2 years.
“The term Generation Jones was first coined by the American cultural commentator Jonathan Pontell, who identified the cohort as those born from 1954 to 1965 in the U.S., who were children during Watergate, the oil crisis, and stagflation rather than during the 1950s, but slightly before Gen X.”
I concur.

Yeah, that is nonsense, the generation is boomer, you are a boomer, and there is no ‘boomer philosophy’.
The under-30s were the biggest supporters of the Vietnam war of any age group and produced 10 million boomer veterans, Nixon won 52% of the under-30 vote in 1972, Wallace about 2% the democrat 46%.
Just about any figure you can name from the famous 1960s wasn’t a boomer.
