Rosie Gray
A seasoned political reporter delivers an eye-opening portrait of the most talked-about demographic in America, revealing how a generation of young men—raised on gaming, gambling, pornography, weightlifting, and online influencers—has become the most powerful, and least understood, force in politics.
Here Are the Young Men is an eye-opening look at the lived experience of Gen Z and late Millennial men—from weight rooms, gaming streams, and Discord servers to 4chan memes, OnlyFans pages, and extreme “looksmaxxing” protocols where the model of hyper masculinity and male beauty is toxified. Granted close access to her many subjects, Rosie Gray goes deep into the weird and wild movements and subculture shaping modern bros’ lives, including:
- Crypto- and trading-obsessed “hustle culture”
- Dating apps, incels, passport bros, AI girlfriends, misogyny, and porn
- Gaming, sports betting, online gambling, and the big business of young men’s leisure
- Bodybuilding, biohacking, and the looksmaxxing movement and its twenty-year-old star, Clavicular
- Bronze Age Pervert, groypers, the manosphere, Charlie Kirk, and the media pipeline to right-wing politics
- The Gen Z "trad" religious revival
Blending sociology, trendspotting, and candid, at times jaw-dropping, portraits, Rosie Gray explains how these phenomena fuel the disillusionment that is pushing young men to the far right—and why liberals ignore the bros at their peril. Here Are the Young Men explains what it means to be a man now, and what that means for American society and democracy.
