[Jenny Grover I like this "Generation Jones" idea that's being circulated around > now, > though. > Since I came *this close* to majoring in marketing (I heard a tape of Christmas 1978 at our house where I'm saying stuff like "That's just like the commercial for...." and "Have you seen that commercial for...?") as an undergrad and not communications, I find all of this stuff fascinating, but apologies to those it bores to tears. My brother and sister are Jonesers, and there IS a difference between us that would definitely be at least significantly generational. I can remember my sister, born in 1960, saying to me in 1988 on a Christmas shopping trip, "People your age are lazy and whiny." I remember thinking at the time that that was our first addressing of a generational difference between us. My brother probably fits the Loudfan demographic better than I (except he doesn't "get" Scott's music, much as I tried to convert him) by being a Joneser, born in '64 (aren't the majority of the list's members Jonesers?). He was playing CDs of Rush and Yes (he bought a player in '84) and was into computers very early on (he won the 1979 Furman University science fair in 9th grade by building an analog computer). That embracing of technology and love of prog rock sounds like a Loudfan, eh? Why he thinks DAYS FOR DAYS sounds like Nirvana is a mystery to me. - --Mark, now entering year twelve of not watching television on a regular basis (it influenced me too much as a kid and so I'm wary of it as an adult...I'd probably be mainlining LAW AND ORDER reruns, from what I've heard about that show) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 13 Dec 2004 04:15:03 -0500 From: Jenny Grover Subject: Re: [loud-fans] and the flesh you so fancifully fry... What the hell is a Joneser, or Generation Jones? I've never heard these terms before. If I supposedly was born at the right time to be one, by Mark's def, then I want to know what one is.

He hated getting lumped in with the Baby Boomers and said the only distinguishing characteristic of being born in the early 60's, was that he got all the worn-out textbooks.
