RNC Chairman Michael Steele discusses his membership in Generation Jones, and the importance of GenJones leaders as we enter a new era. Generation Jones--between the Baby Boomers and Generation X--has been passed the generational torch of U.S. leadership from the Boomers. Generation Jonesers (born 1954-1965) of both political parties, including Barack Obama (born 1961) and many of his appointees, as well as GOP leaders like Steele (b. 1958) and Sarah Palin (b. 1964), bring a different generational mindset than Boomers to leadership. A key to grasping our new era is understanding how GenJones leadership will differ from the past. More info at www.GenerationJones.com
I will also contend with grunge being a "Generation Y" phenomenon. Those born in the late 70's were the younger Gen X'ers, and we listened to grunge (or gansta rap, or I guess still heavy metal, and [blech] later hair bands). Gen Y's were still in their childhood or at most 11 years old when Nevermind was released.
I despise Baby Boomers and Gen Jones, I laugh at the spectacle that is Michael Steele, and I pity Generation Y.

Yawn. I'll give you punk rock, but those born betwixt 1955-1960 were of age when disco was around. The true Baby Boomers were already reaching their 30's in the time of disco. Put on your conformist leisure suit, be demoralized by big gov't, or listen to acid punk rock, I don't care, but you're all Gen Jones to me.
Which brings me to my other point. FuckK gen Jones. Your mistrust of government is getting ridiculous. Do you trust corporations instead? How bout wall street? Grow up.

Let's get this straight...
Disco was NOT Gen Jones...Disco is where the aging Boomers sold out their hippie ideals in a "horizontal desires transformed into vertical expressions" cocaine disco ball stroble light induced trance...those idealistic boomers became shallow, hedonistic and the most self centered generation ever...all exemplified by the pinnicle of the boomer culture...Studio 54.
