>he wasn't around for late 2015/extra early 2016
Come on, man, even I know this shit.
If not, go to 4plebs and look them up for yourself. They are often in blue/pink material backgrounds. It's just neets chilling and giving each other advice of fellow neethood.

Sorry, m8. They weren't sustaining themselves past 40 posts. >>>/soc/ has a pretty OK NEET thread.
Not a NEET, and I never participated in those threads, but it seems to me that having a thread for them just enables their behavior. Instead of going out and doing something with their lives, it allows them to sit around posting in a NEET thread 24/7

NEET is those that don't study don't work right?
I'm 47, ... I studied, but don't wanna work anymore.
That's as close as I can relate to this.
Maybe quitting job tomorrow. Life is to glorious (movie quote) to spend in front of a computer (irony here?)

Neet stands for not in education employment or training, it's a term from the British census.

There were some good things that came from the thread, it wasn't all bad. On the flip side there was a lot of drama manufactured from it that negated most of those good things.

We live in a society where automation provides most material needs, and we can easily see how the vast majority of cognitive tasks are going to be automated in the very near future.
The industry base, if you are American or European, has dwindled and been outsourced or automated to the point where even skilled labor is at a shortage, and highly skilled labor is in so much supply, the rat race has turned utterly fucking feral as people turn on each other and devour them in hopes of attaining a vaguely permanent position.
One can hardly blame people for recognizing the futility of the Malthusian framework of equating production with human fulfillment, and we are beginning to understand that actually communicating and sharing with each other is actually more important than we have ever thought.
So, consider that being NEET is not something we should necessarily see as a failure or point of judgment, but rather the functional consequence of a society that has achieved the ability to provide the material needs to so many citizens, we literally just don't know what to do with ourselves.
Shit's changing, people. We need to evolve.
And before anyone asks, I'm actually the literal opposite of NEET (in terms of >>17102407's helpful explanation of the acronym), so don't bother with the ad hominem bullshit that everyone seems to want to knee-jerk with.

Given the proliferation of online programs for bachelor's and even master's degrees, there is really no reason for anybody to be a NEET. If they don't want to go flip burgers, hell even if they don't want to step foot out of their apartment, then they should at least be getting an education.

NEETs lack the motivation to do anything other than rot away in their homes. It's not a matter of opportunities. It's a matter of mental illness preventing them from seeking opportunities.

Education does not lead to employment, There aren't enough jobs for everyone in the country.
I would rather a NEET just be a NEET then have someone waste hundreds of hours of public resources teaching the NEET skills he'll never use in a job that doesn't exist.

They ran through January of this year with me OP'ing about a quarter of the later threads.
