I previously stated that the Baby Busters Generation were those born 1958 - 1964, based on information from Wikipedia. These years fall within Generation Jones, (1954-1965), which is my generation. Please click on the comment below this posting. Please click here for BUST Generation.
On December 4, 1998, U.S. social commentator and marketing consultant Jonathan Pontell identified the existence of this generation and coined the term “Generation Jones” for it, announcing this in a newspaper article that was widely syndicated.
Generation Jones has been referred to as a heretofore lost generation between the Baby Boomers and Generation X, since prior to the popularization of Pontell’s theory, its members were included with either the Boomers or Xers. The connotations of the name “Generation Jones” include: a large, anonymous generation, and the slang term “jonesin’”, which refers here to the unrequited craving felt by this generation of unfulfilled expectations.
The Lost Generation was a term originally used to identify a group of American literary expatriates living in Paris in the 1920s and 1930s; it is now used more generally to describe the generation of young people who came of age in the United States during and shortly after World War I.
The Silent Generation was the generation born between the two World Wars, who were too young to join the service when the war started. Many had fathers that served in World War I. (1925-1945)
The is the worldwide generation of Allies that served in World War II. This group overlaps with the G.I. Generation, the generation of Americans that fought and won World War II, later to become the Establishment, and the parents of children who would later become the Baby Boomers.
The Baby Boomers were the generation born during or just after World War II; there was a worldwide increase in birthrate for about 14 years (1945-1959). The end of the baby boom period is cited by various sources as early as 1954 or as late as 1965 -- see Baby Boomers.
Generation Jones is the generation born between the Baby Boomers and Generation X. The generally accepted birth years for Jonesers are 1954-1965. Jonesers are primarily the offspring of the Silent Generation; mostly they were children in the 1960's, and teens in the 1970's.
Generation X is the generation born between approximately 1966 to 1980, although the birth years are sometimes cited as early as 1960, and as late as 1969. Other names used interchangably with Generation X are 13th Generation and Baby Busters. Most of this generation are children of Baby Boomers. They tended to grow up with video games and MTV, and spent most of their teen years in the 1980s.
XY Cusp, also known as the MTV Generation or Doom Generation, was caught between the end of Generation X and start of Generation Y, mainly living out their childhood through the 80s and teen years in the mid-90s. This generation was influenced by the launch of MTV, the popularization of Web technology circa '95, segmented musical tastes, the evolution of 80s glam fashions into grunge and the remainder of Generation X, many of whom were older siblings. (1975-1985).
Boomerang Generation, also known as the Generation Why?, was a sub-group of Generation Y, growing up in the '90s and early 2000s, whose emergent experiences straddled the Cold War/Space Age and Internet eras. In many ways more connected to the G.I. Generation than other recent generations, this group came of age in the period directly following the September 11th attacks. (1982-1986)
Generation Y, also known as the Echo Boom, or Millennium Generation, grew up with many world-changing events including the rise of mass communication and the Internet. (1976-2001 widest possible definition commonly cited.)
iGeneration, the Internet generation, is a subgeneration for the latter half of Generation Y (1993-1999) and the first half of Generation Z (2000-2005).
Generation Z, youngest of the generations thus far. "

Interesting post, but for accuracy sake, it should be noted that the term "Baby Busters" is a long established moniker for tbose born between the mid-1960s and around 1980, or said differently: Baby Busters is a synonym for Generation X. I've never seen the term Baby Busters used to describe those born 1958-1964; that's definitely not the way this term is used.
On the other hand, Generation Jones is a commonly used term for people born around that time, the commonly accepted birth years for Generation Jones is 1954-1965. We Jonesers are the lost generation between the Baby Boomers and Generation X/Baby Busters.
