is it all just an extended "fuck you, dad" response to their greatest generation parents?

omg a handful of women stay in abusive marriages, we'd better destroy the institution of marriage through rampant pressure to divorce so this never happens again!

yeah, psychologically, they take tradition/white cultural hegemony for granted as being immutable, eternal, because it was so entrenched in their youth, and their own parents were so god-like to them.

this has been said so many times, but they really do not *see* the change around them for what it is. psychologically/emotionally, boomers are perpetually located in 1966 or thereabouts. they don't make the connection between 'rebelling' and living with the consequences of 'rebellion' and having thrown over an established order. it's very childish, but that is the special situation of the boomers. to be forever 'teenage' in their outlook, arrested development.

They became drunk on the weight of their own demographic power and thought they could remake the world in their image. They wanted to tear down what they saw as "bad" parts of the American system/culture, but they also threw the baby out with the bath water. What they put in its place is simply a cult of narcissism where self-gratification is the highest virtue and goal worth pursuing. Witness modern America to see the results.

The gist of it seems to center around the fact that the "adults" in each of the two generations immediately preceeding theirs managed to conduct back to back world wars within a thirty years-span. Something thus seemed terribly wrong and broken about the major public institutions in the eyes of the boomer youths, and the values preached by all adults then appeared justifiably corrupted and in desperate need of overhauling. The boomers were a great generation but they have been cultural sermonizers to frenzied, off-putting levels and worn out their welcome by now.
