Chapters
00:00 Start Here 01:01 Chapter 1: Too Young For The Revolution 02:51 Chapter 2: The Latchkey Kids 06:49 Chapter 3: The Age of Distrust 08:41 Chapter 4: Entering Adulthood in Decline 10:35 Chapter 5: The Death of Job Security 12:21 Chapter 6: The ‘Me’ Generation 15:23 Chapter 7: The Great Validation 17:42 Chapter 8: The Endless Horizon 19:37 Chapter 9: Okay Boomer!
The Baby Boomers are often remembered as the generation that inherited the American Dream. They are associated with Woodstock, antiwar protests, Beatlemania, affordable homes, pensions, strong unions, and the greatest period of middle class prosperity in American history. But what many people fail to realize is that the Baby Boomer generation spans nearly twenty years, and by the time many of those iconic moments occurred, half of the generation was still too young to fully understand what was happening.
This video tells the story of Generation Jones, the forgotten half of the Boomers. Americans born roughly between the mid 1950s and mid 1960s who grew up in a very different America than the older boomers who came before them. While older boomers were old enough to participate in the cultural revolution of the 1960s, Generation Jones was often still sitting in elementary school classrooms or watching those moments unfold through a television screen in their living room.
Instead of growing up during America’s peak optimism, Generation Jones came of age as the country was beginning to change. They experienced rising inflation, gas lines during the oil crisis, the Vietnam War, Watergate, distrust in government, the decline of manufacturing, the collapse of stable middle class jobs, and the rise of corporate culture. They became the first major generation of latchkey kids as households shifted from one income to two. They entered adulthood just as the economy was slowing down and stable careers were becoming less secure. And by the time many of them finally reached financial stability during the 1990s and early 2000s, the Great Recession ripped much of that security away.
This video explores how timing shapes generations and how a difference of just a few years can completely alter the world people experience. It looks at the rise and fall of postwar prosperity, the changing American middle class, the shift from pensions to 401(k)s, the rise of Yuppie culture and corporate America, the decline of job security, and the emotional impact of spending an entire lifetime adapting to economic uncertainty.
But more than anything, this video is about ordinary people. Because when we talk about generations, history, and social change, we often focus on the movements, the politicians, and the famous figures who became the face of an era. But most people are not trying to change history. Most people are simply trying to build a life, raise a family, pay their bills, and survive the world they were born into. And Generation Jones is a powerful reminder that people become products of the times they lived through.

It was probably1998 or so I was at Fiddler’s Green for some, i think it was called Lost 80s or something. I remember the Missing Persons maybe? The Tubes, KMFDM or maybe MDFMK, a few others… were there. We got there such that we were in the first row of actual chairs. One of the bands came on and were like “we don’t know how to play without a mosh pit” and called people down and suddenly there was a mosh pit right in front of us. My gf was loving having the backing of a chair bolted into the ground to push people from.
I remember when we sat down, looking at the security people 15 teet away from me and wondering how was i going to smoke. Once the mosh pit materialized, I had the cover I needed.

As a son of an engineer and occasional woodworker, that gallows was never going to work, at least not as a gallows. A victim might have gotten a board falling on his head, I suppose.
Should have consulted some French engineers.

The internet worm, which I mentioned in a prior post a couple weeks ago. It was quite the story at the time, and I learned some interesting techniques for covering my tracks.
