The Baby Busters are known by this title because the era from 1965 through 1983 produced fewer babies per year than were born during the Boom years. As the children of the Boomers, the Baby Bust group has experienced a totally different type of life than any prior generation. They feel alienated from life. They lack heroes, causes, vision, and sadly, an abiding hope in the goodness of their future.
Busters believe they are getting a raw deal.
They resent having been forgotten by their parents and the older generations. They want it all, they want it now, and they are not content to hear excuses from the Boomers as to why they can't reasonably expect it. Busters have been raised to think and act according to their instincts. They like to ask. Busters expect more than they apparently are going to receive.
