Talk:Tweener (age group)

Objection
I object to the proposed deletion and have added statistics and will continue to do so. Birth statistics along with sociopolitical as well as sociological evidence exists. I have quite a few sources. It will take me a few days to input them all. Many of the existing data is incorrect simply because of the fact that the "Baby Boom," relates literally to birth rates. As we study the data for birth rates even up until today, this wedge section of the statistical population has often been referred to incorrectly, and dates have also been incorrectly published. My efforts here are to correct the data and update the terminology.

Generation Jones
Take a look at the Generation Jones article. . . it may be wise to use the current article as a redirect since it already has an article written on it. NoVomit (talk) 17:18, 26 December 2008 (UTC)


 * This article about Tweeners is absurd and should certainly be deleted. It is utterly untrue to say this term is commonly used to describe those born between Boomers and Xers; it is virtually never used that way, and is almost always used to describe those between childhood and adolescence.  The term Generation Jones is, in fact, commonly used to refer to those between Boom & X.TreadingWater (talk) 16:57, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Factual accuracy
Some of the statements in the current revision of the article seem a little questionable to me, such as the one attributing the creation of the term to Newsweek. The article currently seems to be drawing some causal relationships that probably don't exist. Needs some cleanup, looking more closely at the sources that are available (specifically, the NYT and USA today ones, not the blog junk). Politizer talk / contribs 20:55, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
