Proper noun

Generation Jones

1. The generation of people born in the late 1950s and early 1960s; they are the younger subset of the baby boomers but are sometimes conceptualized as being sandwiched between the older subset of baby boomers and Gen-Xers.

   Generation Jones listened to a lot of classic rock when young.
