It's OK to Hate Boomers (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798294374969)

IT'S OK TO HATE BOOMERS is a short, sharp, darkly funny work of cultural satire by Ashley Maria Cohen that dissects the generation that inherited unprecedented prosperity and then rewired the system to keep it. Told in a fast, uncompromising voice, it blends lived observation with social critique to explain how a cohort's instincts on work, wealth, politics, and technology hardened into a worldview that younger generations now have to navigate.

It's not just a critique, it's therapy for the children of decline-those raised in the rubble of trickle-down economics, media hysteria, and climate collapse. It's for everyone who was told to "pull themselves up by the bootstraps" by people who inherited the boots, the straps, and the entire goddamn shoe factory.

Economics, entertainment, style, health, food, psychology...the very essence of a Boomer will be deconstructed in this quick and witty analysis, derision, and a collective generational catharsis. A harsh polemic that takes a look at the people who made us, loved us, and cared for us, as well as the people who destroyed the future (they're the same people, btw). Moves from money and housing to media habits and power, skewering the myths Boomers tell about themselves and the country. Expect mordant set-pieces, running gags, and faux "statistics" that land with uncomfortable accuracy.

Cohen writes in an expressive, opinionated, and rhetorical hyperbole that is satire, not sociology-yet it is anchored by clear through-lines about inequality, intergenerational trust, and how institutions fail when incentives are not aligned.
