New Millennium Boyz is one of the most depraved, horrifying and upsetting novels I've ever endured. And I hope that people see this book for what it is: an unnerving uncensored peek into the dangerous reality of Y2K boy culture and the horrible racist, misogynistic and violent behaviors that are normalized amongst young men. I understand why Alex Kazemi wrote this novel, but I'm also deeply saddened and frustrated that the many fraternal themes that are presented in the book are not idiosyncratic to the time period and are being embraced today, although occasionally, strategically, in a more sanitized insidious form. Male culture is only getting more difficult for young boys and men to navigate. They deserve better, and this book, in all of its violence, depravity and desperation should be read as a demand to change our collective culture that strips so many young men of their humanity... to all of our detriment. You will want to put this book down many times, similar to the way we turn our heads or click away from news that overwhelms us. But we all, whether we are aware of it or not, are in this world that Kazemi is forcing us to look at., ...a corporate branded love letter to the late 90s/early 2000s in diary form; its characters overenthusiastic, repellent with coming-of-age sentiment. I soon realized what was actually unfolding: an unfiltered yet sharp satire of that very thing, an endurance piece I was unable to put down..., Millennial boyhood was way more messed up than we'd like to remember. Alex Kazemi's debut novel won't let us forget. Against the backdrop of our current Y2K nostalgia overload and the creeping manosphere discourse, New Millennium Boyz connects the dots back to the Columbine generation., In New Millennium Boyz , Alex Kazemi dissects the post-Columbine generation with wit and a sharp scalpel. His characters are damaged products of their time. While this is a dark chronicle, there's also a cozy High School Confidential feel to the tale and the various media Kazemi employs to tell it, resulting in a compulsively readable novel., I walked a path parallel to my own, and it was honest, authentic and awful. New Millennium Boyz is an intrusively intimate narration of someone who lived in familiar coordinates yet a different social stratum. That wholly un-unique alienation and emptiness is one that fills me with a nostalgia for a past that was, and was not, my own., New Millennium Boyz is a glimpse into the raunchiest and most deranged aspects of bro culture... This book should be read with caution and understood within the context of a patriarchal society gone mad... While New Millennium Boyz may be a troublesome book to read, we ignore the issues raised at our own risk.

Synopsis
"My favorite millennial provocateur." --Bret Easton Ellis "There's no way a robot wrote this book. A no-holds-barred tour of the Millennial mindset's spiritual DNA. Anything goes." --Douglas Coupland NYLON Magazine Must-Reads September 2023 One of W Magazine 's 25 Most Anticipated Books Fall 2023 One of Dennis Cooper's Favorite Novels of 2023 Brad Sela is living an apathetic suburban life in his affluent neighborhood until two new friends drag him down a destructive path toward self-discovery. Freshly seventeen and entering his Y2K senior year, Brad is feeling fatigued by the cookie-cutter image his new-agey Oprah-loving mom and corporate-Boomer dad expect him to maintain. So, when the new transfer students, Lu and Shane, invite him out to the woods, he agrees to see what this Baphomet-worshipping goth kid and classic-rock stoner have to offer. Soon, he's dealing with the delicate balance of a double life, forsaking old friends for his new ones, and secretly embarking on a journey of indulging his darkest impulses--even documenting some of their most dangerous and disturbing exploits on their Handycams. But as their hijinks increase and threaten to expose him, Brad is forced to reconcile who he really is or risk drowning in his downward spiral. At turns hair-raising and harrowing, Alex Kazemi's thrilling debut novel is an unnerving examination of the collision of traditional masculinity, the early internet, and irresistible pop culture that shaped the turn of the century and transformed the way boys engage with the world. The bastard love child of Bret Easton Ellis and Gregg Araki, New Millennium Boyz presents an uncensored and unsettling portrait of the year 2000 that never could have aired on MTV. "This book is raucous, raunchy, and sure to offend, and there are readers who'll appreciate those things. I will forever defend Kazemi's ability to write this book and entertain his intended audience against those who'd torch all three." --Ellen Hopkins, author of Crank and a dozen other banned books "There is some twisted shit in this book that will likely fuck with your head and break your heart. Remember Woodstock '99, and how a sick, profit-driven media culture pushed boys to their worst impulses? Think Larry Clark or Bret Easton Ellis by way of Charles Bukowski or J.G. Ballard. These kids are not all right. Kazemi's prose produces the same visceral response as an early Tarantino movie. Proceed with caution." --Douglas Rushkoff, Brad Sela is living an apathetic suburban life in his affluent neighbourhood until two new friends drag him down a destructive path toward self-discovery.
