There’s a reason so many young men are dropping out and becoming NEETs—and it starts with the boomer generation. They inherited a world of cheap houses, stable jobs, tight-knit communities, and a functioning dating market. They squandered all of it.
Housing: Boomers turned homeownership into an impossible dream. Through decades of NIMBYism, artificial scarcity, and speculative real estate bubbles, they ensured that buying a house is now out of reach for most young people. Renting is no better—sky-high prices for decaying apartments, all so boomers’ property values keep going up.
Work: Stable, meaningful work has been gutted. Boomers outsourced manufacturing, crushed unions, pushed for mass immigration, and flooded the labor market with cheap workers. Now, the only jobs left are low-wage service work or precarious gig economy scraps, with no security and zero future.
Women and Family: The sexual revolution, no-fault divorce, and endless “liberation” rhetoric stripped all meaning from relationships. Marriage rates are collapsing, birth rates are at record lows, and women (and men) are encouraged to see relationships as disposable. The result? The dating market is a wasteland, and starting a family looks like a losing proposition.
Public Spaces and Culture: Boomers let public infrastructure rot while funding their own retirements. Parks, libraries, town centers, and malls are dead or overrun. There’s nowhere worth going. Even culture itself is commodified, hollow, or hostile to young men.
So what’s left? For many, nothing. The only rational response is to stay inside, play games, watch anime, and avoid a society that offers them nothing but debt, loneliness, and humiliation. NEETdom isn’t laziness; it’s a rational response to a world boomers wrecked for their own gain.
If you want to blame someone for the NEET epidemic, look at the generation that inherited everything and left nothing behind.
