  I swear, the older I get, the harder it is to keep up with these acronyms.

    That’s a common phenomenon, it’s called AAAAA (age associated absence of acronym awareness).

      I like how, when I’m frustrated with all these new acronyms I don’t understand and I just scream… AAAAA! It’s 100% accurate!

      I’m going to have to whip that one out in a work meeting one of these days. I know a few people will love it and a few people will love to hate it…

    This is not a new acronym by any means

    NEET is a term that came out of the 90s in the UK, and was a borrowed acronym in Japan after that. not a new term by any stretch of the imagination and is barely younger than the modern internet itself.

      In academic circles, sure, but it’s fairly recent that it has been seeping into internet language, mostly through 4channers who started using the term for themselves in a self-deprecating way.

        its often used in circles relating to japan for awhile, mainly anime as shows like Welcome to the NHK(2006) cover it. still technically speaking, not a new term, and i wpuldnt be suprised if /A/ on 4chan used it for more than a decade now. definitely not recent.

    I learned about this acronym in a Geography class in school, 15 years ago, and this wasn’t in an English speaking country. So it’s old enough and common enough that it was part of the curriculum even though it was a foreign acronym.

    It’s the academic and more polite way of referring to losers who never did anything with their lives.
