They saw the Berlin Wall crumble and were directly affected as political, corporate and social structures imploded worldwide. They watched their parents suffer devastating job losses, and they became wary and uncertain about their own future. Busters are disillusioned with almost everything. They feel they are reaping the sins of their forefathers. Where the Boomers are idealists, this generation is pessimistic and blame Boomers for today's problems.
Busters are reactive, yet introverted.
Yet they are quite social with their own generational group. They think communally and often make decisions together. Pushed by their parents to get a good education, they now find future employment comprised of temporary low-paying jobs and short project careers. They live for today and don't believe they will ever enjoy the Social Security promised to all Americans. They've been jostled, jolted and pushed back and forth by everyone and everything around them.
