To best understand the arguments put forth by the “Generation Zero” documentary, it is crucial to distinguish between the actual Baby Boom Generation (born 1942-1954) vs. Generation Jones (1954-1965). GenJones was originally lumped in with the Boomers, but is now generally seen by experts as a separate generation. Understanding the differences between these two generations is central to comprehending this documentary.<br /><br />The post-WWII demographic boom in births is one thing, the cultural generations born during that era is another. Generations are a function of the common formative experiences of its members, not the fertility rates of its parents. And most analysts now see generations as getting shorter (usually 10-15 years now), partly because of the acceleration of culture. Many experts now believe it breaks down more or less this way:<br /><br />DEMOGRAPHIC boom in babies: 1946-1964<br />Baby Boom GENERATION: 1942-1953<br />Generation Jones: 1954-1965<br />Generation X: 1966-1978<br />Generation Y/Millennials: 1979-1993hetyd4580https://www.blogger.com/profile/03970460085144987807noreply@blogger.com
