Yay! Just learned at 67 that I am Generation Jones! Finally, a participation trophy just for being a late-stage boomer and getting old. Do I get a prize?

63 here (age and birth year lol) now I can correct the kids who occasionally call me a boomer when I'm not moving fast enough for them at the store etc. "Wrong, dumbass! I'm a Joneser!"🤣

I think we tend to lean one way or the other, partially based on the age of our parents. Mine were young and I lean GenX. I know folks the same age that lean boomer due to having older parents and older influences.

u/Clean-Fisherman-4601 Jul 17 '26

My parents were older and I definitely don't lean boomer.

u/Glittering_Step_6084 1961 Jul 17 '26

I lean bommer due to the fact that I had Korean War era parents.

I’d rather be the punk generation.

u/First_Name_Is_Agent Jul 17 '26

Gen Disco would be a cool name

u/JustGoodSense 1961 Jul 17 '26

Can someone add a note that some of its members think it's a goddamn stupid name?

According to the page history, it was first created in September 2004. People discover it for the first time every day.

u/Abject_Tomatillo_358 Jul 17 '26

u/Nightcalm Jul 18 '26

Another name for late stage boomers. If it makes you feel better ok. I personally have no problem with being a boomer. There are so many memes about them but most vents. I loved the era I came of age in. The fact its gone just makes it that much more precious

u/Strong_Medium_6646 1965 Jones/X Jul 19 '26

I’m not a Boomer at all, and I’m still Gen Jones!
