Generation Jones includes the youngest baby boomers that were born between the years 1954 and 1965. This generation’s most often looked upon as the forgotten middle child of the many generations. Generation Jones essentially acts as the bridge between the Baby Boomers and Generation X. They’re most often stereotyped as possessing a bit of the Boomer optimism due to the prosperity that blossomed during the post-World War II era, and then also the Gen X cynicism. That very cynicism was carved out by the economic struggles as well as the sociopolitical disillusionment during the earlier years.

Matt has spent over the last 8 years as both a writer and editor, working in Seattle and Brooklyn, where he is now based. He loves escaping the tirelessly fast pace of the “Mad Apple” that is NYC by taking walks and runs through parks where he’s able to catch up on the latest tea about society from the city’s ever chatty, always hungry, occasionally maniacal, pigeons. They always have a lot to say. When he’s not taking his urban nature strolls, or dutifully combing the deepest rabbit holes of the internet to find the content that’s worth sinking your mind’s teeth into, he’s likely holed up at a dark-lit dive bar with a new book and/or some friends, or just easily he could be on the hunt for the next addition to his steadily growing plant family.
