Generation Jones

English

Coined by author Jonathan Pontell, from jonesing (“intense craving”).^[1]

The generation of people born in the late 1950s and early 1960s; they are the younger subset of the baby boomers but are sometimes conceptualized as being sandwiched between the older subset of baby boomers and Gen-Xers.
Generation Jones listened to a lot of classic rock when young.

  The later cohort of Generation Jones really seems to combine some Baby Boom qualities with those of later generational cohorts.
