We fit into a sub microgeneration between Gen X and the rest of the millennials.

Large utility turbines are not always the best fit for every location. Microgeneration wind farms are easier to install, maintain, and repair, making them a practical option for farms, remote properties, and off-grid communities. Learn more: borrumenergysolutions.ca/blo… #Cleanenergy

This was 2006/7. A few years later, his agenda for "microgeneration" -- a green blob preoccupation of the time -- created policies that paid people with big roofs the equivalent in today's money of 64p/kWh. And we wonder where our money went. youtube.com/watch?v=f6V85Rzl…

I fear the cultural literacy required to appreciate such performances as these will be lost with my microgeneration. youtu.be/SDS6i3j11jU?si=dS9O…

lol I think there's a microgeneration gap with knowing who he is - if you were high school age or older in the mid to late 2000's, he was kind of an unavoidable presence / punchline

The relevant question is "who birthed who" and Zoomers are the microgeneration birthed at low rates to the minigeneration of Xers.

I'm here for the Millennial-jacketing of the vast majority of Zoomers (claimed 1995 ) because it's true. The only true Zoomers are a microgeneration born adjacent to the GFC Baby Bust and up to the start of the 2016-2020 pull away from the dive.

If the transition is going to cost us, then so be it. Just need to be honest with ourselves. Moving from cheap fossil fuels with a wind & solar & batteries "on top" of the older grid could not possibly result in cheaper electricity ..as long as its the billpayer is the one paying for the grid AND pays gas prices for the wind and solar gov supported contracts. The best thing an individual could do is more microgeneration like rooftop solar with high export tarriffs, and skip the grid.

Well struck Red! I especially like the shout out and acknowledgment to us Jonesers - they call us a microgeneration, but really, the generations are too broad spectrum, but I digress. If I had to think on it, the only thing I might consider adding to your summation would be that we all said the pledge every morning at school, ducked under desks without really knowing why when sirens wailed, and listened to FM radio incessantly as we came of age while saving our paper route money up to buy concert tickets.

I’ve had a difficult time understanding this concept, so I researched into it. It’s what it’s called a microgeneration apparently. I almost feel like generations should have been defined by significant world events instead of specific years with the exact same number of years in that span. My brother lands in this by the way - 1961.

At the same time, BC Hydro has been shutting down microgeneration. Makes no sense. At some point they will come around to building nuclear, especially if they want everyone to electrify the heat and transportation.

There is a devoted microgeneration of Big XII basketball people who know this man’s career very well. And credit to @adamamin for also mentioning Perry Ellis last week in connection. Respect to both 🫡

It’s been recognized as a microgeneration/cohort for years. Jonathan Pontell coined the term, and there are books, academic essays, and entire websites devoted to Generation Jones. A lot of us just never heard the label growing up because it was coined later to describe that ‘too young for Woodstock, too old for Gen X’ group. Someone born in 1949 has nothing in common with someone born in 1964. It’s also the longest generation at 18 years, with subsequent generations being only 15 years.

Yep. It’s been a recognized microgeneration/cohort for years. Jonathan Pontell coined the term and there are books, academic essays and entire websites devoted to Generation Jones. A lot of us just never heard the label growing up because it was coined later to describe that ‘too young for Woodstock, too old for Gen X’ group.

Generation Jones (born roughly 1954–1965) is a microgeneration bridging Baby Boomers and Generation X. Raised on post-war optimism but coming of age during severe economic stagflation and political scandals, their defining characteristics include: Pragmatism and Realism: Unlike the idealistic Boomers, Jonesers approach life practically, having faced oil crises, gas lines, and high interest rates.Institutional Skepticism: Formative experiences during the Vietnam War and Watergate instilled a deep distrust of government and corporations. The "Hustle" Mentality: Coined to reflect the idiom "keeping up with the Joneses," they are characterized by strong resilience, a fierce work ethic, and a need to continuously prove themselves in highly competitive job markets. Cultural Anonymity: Caught between larger, louder generations, they tend to adopt a "strategic invisibility", preferring quiet achievement, deferred gratification, and pragmatic problem-solving. Bridge Builders: Acting as cultural translators, they blend analog nostalgia (childhoods without the internet) with tech-savviness, making them effective mediators between older and younger generations. ~ Cultural historian Jonathan Pontell who coined Generation Jones

FYI, there is a microgeneration between boomers 1945 1955, N Gen, X 1965-85. From 1955 to 1965, generation Jones.. look it up!

This would explain why I, a guy who never used Tumblr, was completely blindsided by the woke identity politics of the microgeneration just younger than me.
