Too young to be a Boomer, too old to be Gen X: Meet the microgeneration ‘Generation Jones’

Generation Jones is a microgeneration of people born between 1954 and 1965, situated between Baby Boomers and Generation X. The term comes from "keeping up with the Joneses" and describes a generation marked by both idealism and competitiveness.

The one exception? #DavidBowie. But as many of us know, he was a #Timelord and transcended Time, Space, and Gender! (Much like #GenerationJones actor, #TildaSwinton!)

TBH, the whole #GenerationJones explains why I related to folks who were older than me, but didn't seem to represent the #BabyBoomers. I did not worship Bob Dylan (though I adored Patti Smith), and most of the musicians I most strongly identified with were born in the 1954-1965 range. Hmmmm... 🤔

@Hawaii #GaryNuman wrote the lyrics as part of a post-apocalyptic tale for his daughter. It goes wicked deep and I think represents the sense of hopelessness that #GenerationJones felt / feels.

I suspect our dear friend @breadandcircuses is #GenerationJones as well. But until he returns, we'll never know...

We care a lot

"We care a lot
A-ha

(We care a lot) about disasters, fires, floods and killer bees
(We care a lot) about Los Angeles falling in the sea
(We care a lot) about starvation and the food that Live Aid bought
(We care a lot) about disease, baby Rock, Hudson, rock, yeah!

We care a lot!
We care a lot!

(We care a lot) about the gamblers and the pushers and the freaks
(We care a lot) about the people who live up the streets
(We care a lot) about the welfare of all you boys and girls
(We care a lot) about you people cause we're out to save the world
Yeah!

It's a dirty job, but someone's gotta do it
Well, it's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it
Well, it's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it
It's a dirty job, but someone's gotta do it"
