What is someone born in 1961 considered?: Baby Boomer or Generation Jones?

According to the Pew Research Center, the Baby Boomer generation is defined as those born between 1946 and 1964, which places someone born in 1961 squarely within this cohort. However, defining someone born in 1961 is more complex, as many late-period Baby Boomers feel disconnected from the defining cultural events of their older counterparts, leading some demographers and individuals to identify them as part of a micro-generation known as "Generation Jones".
