The Broad Brush Boomer Bashing by some posters here is puzzling to me. – outa my league

As an economist, I make a poor social scientist, but it seems to me that the “Boomer Bashing” is a remnant of the David Brooks theme developed in Bobos in Paradise (2000), bobos being short for Bourgeois Bohemians.

From the wiki entry:

Brooks’s thesis in Bobos in Paradise is that this “new upper class” represents a marriage between the liberal idealism of the 1960s and the self-interest of the 1980s. Critics of Brooks’s thesis argue that he does not provide an argument as to how this elite is new, and that the bobo trend merely represents changing tastes and preferences of a preexisting upper class (not a product of social mobility).
