The Last Baby Boomers were born in 1964.

90. Generation jones?

I haven't come across that term.

I'm a Boomer, born in 1948, whose 2 children are Millennials, born 1982 and 1987. That's how Strauss and Howe define/date the generations.

They have Boomers born between 1943 and 1960, Gen X (which they originally called Thirteeners) born 1961-1981, Millennials born 1982-2004 or thereabouts. They were winging it with their dates for Millennials because of when they wrote the first book. GenX parents are more likely to be equally Silent generation (born 1925-1942) as well as early Boomers. But a lot of Millennials, especially the early ones, are children of Boomers.

Which is also one reason why assessing the generations and just how to date them is tricky, because of the way people spread out their childbearing. No one generation is solely the child or parent of one other generation. There's a lot of overlap.

I guess you're using "gen jones" for what most people call Gen X, which interestingly enough has almost completely disappeared from usage. People sort of pretend they are all Millennials, and they're not.

Again, the Strauss and Howe book Generations is utterly fascinating and well worth the time it takes to read. I've read it through two or three times and am long overdue for a reread, but I'm going to have to re-purchase it, as my copy is beginning to fall apart. I need to get it in hardback.
