Generational Angst... Again!

Did you know that they (whoever "they" are and whyever "their" opinion is considered so dang important) have identified a new "generational grouping" in our North American society?

No, not a new nickname, stereotype or label for the emerging generations, but a further re-definition and re-alignment of existing generations (gasp!). It's called "Generation Jones" and apparently I'm one of them.



This is such a shock. For so long, I've thought I was Gen X. Now, I've got to completely re-learn my true origins of identity, who I've been victimized by and therefore should be upset at, and what my goals/dreams of life have been for the past twenty years or so. I am experiencing existential angst.

Y'all will have to forgive me if it takes a wee bit of time to completely make the shift from my old identity as an "X'er" to my newly-discovered true identity as a "Jones-er".

(Maybe my identity is found somewhere else, other than reactionary "notice me" marketing demographics invented by the media & corporations who want to sell me stuff. Any suggestions?)

Note: This is an existential angst-driven rant -- for my actual thoughts on generational divisions, check out "Clique Maintenance Part 1" in the "Articles At Sea" section.
