Adolescentes hasta los 40Todos les hemos visto alguna vez por la calle, o puede que en el espejo.

Son mayores, pero van en monopatn, llevan

camisetas grandes, zapatillas Converse, ... juegan a la Nintendo y tienen estilos y actitudes ante la vida totalmente distintas a las de sus padres a
esa misma edad. Nacieron en los aos 60 o 70, pero no tienen familia propia. De hecho, mantienen aficiones que probablemente no se podran
permitir si tuviesen hijos. Son adultos, pero viven como nios, (lo cual no deja de ser mucho ms positivo que ser un nio y vivir como un adulto).
En otros pases se habla de fenmeno sociolgico, porque cada vez hay ms, y se ha inventado una creativa terminologa para designarlos. En
KINDSEIN hacemos un repaso general al curioso glosario internacional. La revista TIME los sac en portada hace unos aos. "Crecer? No tan
rpido", se titulaba el reportaje: Los socilogos estn empezando a darse cuenta de un cambio permanente en la forma de vivir. En el pasado, la
gente pasaba de la infancia a la adolescencia, y de la adolescencia a la edad adulta, pero hoy hay una fase nueva, intermedia en medio del
camino.
En Espaa, no parece haber conciencia de este fenmeno, quizs porque alargar la adolescencia, por ejemplo viviendo en casa de los padres, no
es ninguna novedad. Segn un reportaje de El Pas, el 30% de los espaoles con edades comprendidas entre los 30 y 35 aos vive an con sus
padres. El porcentaje llega al 63% si nos centramos en los que tienen entre 25 y 29 aos. Y hasta el 95% si tienen entre 18 y 25. Juan Carlos
Martnez, un treintaero mileurista palabra acuada por Carolina Alguacil en su carta a El Pas "Soy mileurista", ha intentado varias veces
independizarse, pero siempre tuvo que volver a casa de sus padres. No poda salir, ni viajar, ni comprarme ropa, ni nada,... no viva, slo
sobreviva. Y yo quera cierta calidad de vida, la que tena en casa de mis padres. Por eso volv.
En otros pases, hasta hace unos aos era impensable seguir con pap y mam despus de acabar los estudios, pero las cosas estn cambiando.
Y el fenmeno ya tiene varios nombres:Sndrome de Peter Pan. Se refiere a un adulto socialmente inmaduro, irresponsable, rebelde,
dependiente, narcisista, manipulador, que niega el envejecimiento y cree que est ms all de las normas de la sociedad. El trmino apareci por
primera vez en el libro del doctor Dan Kiley "The Peter Pan Syndrome: Men Who Have Never Grown Up", publicado en 1983. No est reconocido
como sndrome en el DSM (manual diagnstico y estadstico de los trastornos mentales, en EEUU).
Niulto (Kidult). Persona de mediana edad que participa en actividades diseadas para los nios. En el libro "Rejuvenile", Christopher
Noxon cuenta que muchos visitantes de Disney World son adultos que van sin nios; que el pblico de entre 18 y 34 aos ve ms canales como
Cartoon Network dibujos animados que de noticias, como la CNN o Fox News; o que la media de edad de los jugadores de video juegos es de
29 aos y va en aumento. Noxton cree que estas personas quieren experimentar el tiempo como lo hacamos de nios, para encontrar algn
alivio a la ansiedad que provoca pensar en el futuro.
Noxton seala que hay un resurgimiento de los juguetes retro, como Tarta de Fresa, una mueca que hizo su primera aparicin en los aos 80, y
que relanzaron hace poco con el lema "Quin te iba a decir que t y tu hija tendrais a la misma amiga?. En Espaa, lo mismo podra decirse de
la mueca Nancy, compaera de todas las babyboomers nacidas en los 60 y 70, y relanzada ahora, en su cuadragsimo cumpleaos.
Adultescentes (Adultescents). Sinnimo de Kidult. Por lo general, son personas adultas que viven con sus padres despus de acabar los
estudios, que no tienen una motivacin clara y que dependen econmicamente de sus progenitores. Gastan todo el dinero que pueden en ropa,
cine, msica, ordenadores, videojuegos o comer fuera.Twixters. Es la nueva generacin de jvenes americanos que estn atrapados entre
(betwixt, between) la infancia y la edad adulta. Dependen econmicamente de sus padres, y, si trabajan, suele ser con empleos inestables y
sueldos bajos.
NEET ("Not engaged in Education, Employment, or Training", o "sin estudios, empleo o formacin"). Este trmino fue usado por primera vez por el
gobierno britnico para referirse a los adolescentes de entre 16 y 19 aos que lo abandonan todo y hacen lo posible por no hacer nada.
Los neets tienen una probabilidad 20 veces mayor de cometer algn delito. El ministro de economa, Frank Field, dijo: Dnde ir a parar Gran
Bretaa si este grupo contina creciendo? Estamos delante de una generacin perdida. El trmino se ha extendido a otros pases, como Japn,
China y el sur de Corea para un grupo ms amplio de edad.
Generacin Boomerang. Se llama as a los nacidos entre 1975 y 1986 en los pases occidentales, que vuelven a casa de los padres depus de
haber pasado una temporada viviendo solos.KIPPERS (Kids In Parents' Pockets Eroding Retirement Savings, o 'hijos en los bolsillos de los padres
erosionando los ahorros para su jubilacin').Nesthocker. Es un trmino alemn. Literalmente, significa ocupadores del nido.
Mammones. Es el neologismo que emplean los franceses. Se refiere a los nios de mam.
Bamboccioni. Es un trmino italiano que se utiliz, en octubre de 2007, el entonces ministro italiano de Economa, Tommaso Padoa-Schioppa.
Bautiz as a las personas de entre 20 y 30 aos que todava viven con sus padres. Mandiamo i 'bamboccioni' fuori di casa, fueron sus
palabras en el Senado ("Echemos a los bamboccioni fuera de casa"). Incentiviamo a uscire di casa i giovani che restano con i genitori, non si
sposano e non diventano autonomi. un'idea importante. (Animemos a salir de casa a los jvenes que estn con sus progenitores, que no estn
casados y que no son autnomos. Es importante.)
Tanguy. En 2001, se estren una pelcula titulada Tanguy. Trata de un joven de 28 aos que vive con sus padres y no parece tener ganas de
abandonar las comodidades del hogar. La pelcula describe tan fielmente el fenmeno sociolgico que, hoy en da, el idioma francs ha adoptado
la palabra tanguy para describir a estos jvenes.
Puer Aeternus. Es latn. Quiere decir Nio Eterno. En la mitologa griega, se refiere a un dios nio, joven para siempre. En psicologa, designa a
un hombre adulto que lleva la vida emocional de un adolescente, normalmente muy dependiente de su madre. No admite restricciones ni lmites, y
pelea por conservar su libertad e independencia.
Solteros parsitos. En Japn, se les llama "Parasaito shinguru". Es otro trmino para las personas adultas que viven con sus padres. Es
el tanguy japons. El primero en usar el trmino fue el profesor Masahiro Yamada, de la Universidad Gakugei de Tokio, en su libro "La era de los
parsitos solteros", publicada en 1999. Yamada les echa la culpa de la baja natalidad en Japn.
Freeter. Otro neologismo japons, acuado hacia 1987 a partir de las palabra inglesa free (libre) y la alemana Arbeiter (trabajador). En japons, se
pronuncia: furita, freeta o furitaa. Designa a personas de entre 15 y 34 aos que viven en casa de sus padres despus de acabar sus estudios y
que saltan de trabajo en trabajo en lugar de buscar uno estable. A principios del siglo XXI, el nmero de freeters comenz a aumentar en Japn.
Se estima que en 1982 haba medio milln. En 2003, la cifra haba subido a 2,17 millones. Se teme que esta generacin de jvenes
desmotivados perjudique el futuro de Japn, y el gobierno ha tomado medidas para evitarlo ofreciendo ayudas a las empresas que
contraten freeters a tiempo completo.Segn el Instituto Japons de Trabajo, los freetes se dividen en tres grupos:
los que no saben lo que quieren hacer para ganarse la vida.
los que no tienen otra opcin que tener un trabajo inestable mientras buscan uno definitivo
y los que persiguen un sueo, y trabajan a su manera siguiendo un objetivo.
Masahiro Yamada, sin embargo, piensa que todos los freeters son "soadores" y una "fuente de mano de obra barata".
El fenmeno est extendido y los expertos en mrqueting han descubierto el filn. Ser muy joven est de moda y los adultos consumen productos
"infantiles": desde las hamburguesas, los cmics o los videojuegos hasta los coches que parecen de juguete, como el Mini o el Volkswagen
escarabajo. Algunos dicen que esta actitud provoca un "atontamiento cultural"; otros, que es un triste rechazo del concepto de adulto, que se ve
como algo desfasado o irrelevante. Hay quienes lo atribuyen a un aumento del miedo tras el atentado del 11-S. La nostalgia por la infancia puede
parecer inocente, pero es un sntoma de una profunda inseguridad sobre el futuro, dijo Frank Furedi, un controvertido profesor de sociologa de la
Universidad de Kent, en el Reino Unido, al diario britnico The Guardian.
Otros especialistas, como Jeffrey Arnett psiclogo de la Clark Universidad de Worcester, Massachusetts, en Estados Unidos defienden a estos
jvenes. Segn Arnett, los twixters (o tanguys o freeters,...) son unos incomprendidos, y, en realidad, se toman el futuro tan en serio que pasan
todos esos aos eligiendo con cuidado el camino ms adecuado.
dolescents up to 40
All we've ever seen on the street, or maybe in the mirror. They are older, but they skateboarding, wear big shirts, Converse sneakers ... playing
Nintendo and have styles and attitudes towards life completely different from their parents at the same age. They were born in the 60s or 70s, but
have no family. In fact, probably not keep hobbies could afford if they had children. They are adults but live like children, (which no longer much
more positive than being a child and living as an adult). In other countries there is talk of sociological phenomenon, because more and more, and
has invented a creative terminology to describe them. In KINDSEIN we do an overview the curious international glossary.

Time magazine cover story took a few years ago. "Growing Not so fast?", The report was titled: "Social scientists are beginning to
realize a permanent change in the way we live. In the past, people moved from childhood to adolescence, and from adolescence to
adulthood, but today there is a new phase, intermediate in the way. "
In Spain, there seems to be aware of this phenomenon, perhaps because prolong adolescence, for example living at home with
parents, is nothing new. According to a report in El Pais, 30% of Spaniards aged between 30 and 35 still live with their parents. The
percentage rises to 63% if we focus on those between 25 and 29 years. And up to 95% if they are between 18 and 25. Juan Carlos
Martinez, a mileurista thirtysomething -word coined by Carolina Bailiff in his letter to El Pas "I'm mileurista" - has tried several times
to become independent, but always had to go home their parents. "I could not leave, or travel, or buy clothes, or anything ... not
living, just surviving. And I wanted some quality of life, which had at my parents. So I went back. "
In other countries, until a few years ago it was unthinkable to go with Mom and Dad after finishing the studies, but things are
changing. And the phenomenon already has several names:
Peter Pan syndrome. It refers to a socially immature, irresponsible, rebellious, dependent, narcissistic, manipulative adult who
denies aging and believes it is beyond the norms of society. The term first appeared in the book by Dr. Dan Kiley "The Peter Pan
Syndrome: Men Who Have Never Grown Up," published in 1983. It is not recognized as a syndrome in the DSM (Diagnostic and
Statistical Manual of Mental disorders, USA).
Niulto (Kidult). Middle-aged person who participates in activities designed for children. In the book "rejuvenile" Christopher Noxon
that many visitors to Disney World are adults who go without children; the audience between 18 and 34 see more channels like
Cartoon Network -drawings animados- that news, like CNN or Fox News; or that the average age of video game players is 29 years
old and is growing. Noxton believes that these people "want experience time as we did for children, to find some relief from the
anxiety thinking about the future."
Noxton notes that there is a resurgence of retro toys, such as Strawberry Shortcake, a doll made its first appearance in the 80s,
and relaunched recently with the slogan "Who you going to say that you and your daughter you would have to the same friend? ".
in Spain, the same could be said of the wrist Nancy, companion of all baby boomers born in the 60s and 70s, and relaunched now
in his fortieth birthday.
Adultescentes (Adultescents). Synonymous with Kidult. Usually adults are living with their parents after finishing the studies, which
have no clear motivation and financially dependent on their parents. They spend all the money they can on clothes, movies, music,
computers, video games or eating out.
Twixters. It is the new generation of young Americans who are caught between (betwixt, between) childhood and adulthood. They
are financially dependent on their parents, and if they work, often with unstable jobs and low wages.
NEET ( "Not engaged in Education, Employment, or Training" or "no education, employment or training"). This term was first used
by the British government to refer to teenagers between 16 and 19 who leave everything and do their best to do nothing. The neets
are 20 times more likely to commit a crime. The economy minister Frank Field said: "Where will end Britain if this group continues
to grow? We are facing a lost generation. " The term has been extended to other countries, such as Japan, China and South Korea
for a broader age group.
Boomerang Generation. It is named those born between 1975 and 1986 in Western countries, returning home depues parents
have spent time living alone.
Kippers (Kids In Parents' Pockets Eroding Retirement Savings, or 'children in parents pockets eroding retirement savings').
Nesthocker. It is a German term. Literally it means occupiers of the nest.
Mammones. It is the neologism employing the French. It refers to children mom.
Bamboccioni. It is an Italian term that was used, in October 2007, the then Italian Economy Minister Tommaso Padoa-Schioppa.
and He baptized people between 20 and 30 who still live with their parents. "Mandiamo i 'bamboccioni' fuori di casa" were his
words in the Senate ( "Let the bamboccioni away from home"). "Incentiviamo to uscire di casa i restano giovani che i genitori, non
si sposano and non diventano autonomi. un'idea important. "(Let's encourage leaving home to young people who are with their
parents, who are not married and are not autonomous. It's important.)
Tanguy. In 2001, a film called Tanguy was released. Is a young man of 28 who lives with his parents and does not seem to want to
leave the comforts of home. The film depicts so faithfully sociological phenomenon that, today, the French language has adopted
tanguy word to describe these young people.
Puer Aeternus. It's Latin. Means Eternal Child. In Greek mythology, he refers to a god child, young forever. In psychology, he refers
to an adult man carrying the emotional life of a teenager, usually very dependent on his mother. It does not support any restrictions
or limits, and fight to preserve their freedom and independence.
Singles parasites. In Japan, they are called "Parasaito shinguru". It is another term for adults living with their parents. It is the
Japanese Tanguy. The first to use the term was Professor Masahiro Yamada of Tokyo Gakugei University, in his book "The era of
single parasites", published in 1999. Yamada blames them for the low birth rate in Japan.
Freeter. Another Japanese neologism, coined by 1987 from the English word free (free) and Arbeiter (worker) German. In
Japanese, it is pronounced: furita, freeta or furitaa. Appoint people between 15 and 34 years old living in his parents' home after
finishing their studies and jumping from job to job rather than look for one stable. At the beginning of the century, the number of
freeters began to increase in Japan. There were an estimated half a million in 1982. In 2003, the figure had risen to 2.17 million. It
is feared that this generation of young unmotivated harm the future of Japan and the government has taken steps to avoid
providing aid to companies hiring full-time Freeters.
According to the Japan Institute of Labour, freetes are divided into three groups:
-those who do not know what they want to do for a living.
-those who have no choice but to have an unstable job while looking for one final
-and those who pursue a dream, and work their way following a goal.
Masahiro Yamada, however, thinks that all Freeters are "dreamers" and a "source of cheap labor."
The phenomenon is widespread and Mrqueting experts have discovered the reef. Being very young is fashionable and adults
consume "childish" products: from burgers, comics or video games to cars that look like toys, like the Mini or the Volkswagen
Beetle. Some say that this attitude causes a "cultural stunning"; others, that is a sad rejection of the concept of adult that looks like
something out of date or irrelevant. Some attribute it to increased fear after the attack of 11-S. "Nostalgia for childhood may seem
innocent, but it is a symptom of a deep insecurity about the future," said Frank Furedi, a controversial professor of sociology at the
University of Kent in the UK, the British newspaper The Guardian.
Other specialists, such as Jeffrey Arnett -psiclogo Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts, in the United States defend these
young people. According to Arnett, the twixters (or tanguys or Freeters, ...) are a misunderstood, and, indeed, the future are taken
so seriously that spend all those years carefully choosing the most appropriate way.
