I'm aware of "Generation Jones," but I and many people ignore it for good reason: the supposed period covered by this generation is too short. A generation is approximately 20 years. In the past Jones'ers were lumped in with Boomers, but the later Jones'ers actually have more in common with Gen X. Depending on which source you consult, Gen X starts with either 1961 or 1965. It looks like I chose the former and you chose the latter. Gen X definitely does not include folks born in the 80s. The folks born after 1980 are Gen Y or Millennials. Using the 20 year guideline, it goes something like this: Boomers 1940-1960, Gen X, 1960-1980, and Millennials 1980-2000. Interesting collection of clips, thanks for sharing.

Relevantly, as many influential experts and publications have repeatedly pointed out, Obama is part of Generation Jones, born 1954-1965, between the Boomers and Xers. Here's a recent 5 minute GenJones video which features many top pundits (including David Brooks, Clarence Page, Dick Morris, Juan Williams, Karen Tumulty, Howard Wolfson, Michael Barone, etc.) specifically talking about Obama membership in Generation Jones: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ta_Du5K0jk Interesting post and blog.
