Permanent adolescence and that's an insult to adolescents of the past.
It used to be that when you got to around 12+, you would start to integrate into the adult society. Interacting with adults based upon your interests and being treated as one in accordance with your level of knowledge etc.
Young adults even used to dress the same as their older peers. Now there's a desperation to appear apart from the adult world. People who would have been considered adults and integrated as adults, 30,40,50 years ago, now go to great lengths to differentiate themselves from previous generations through clothing, idiosyncratic language and other means.
They react with anger if an older adult "encroaches" onto "their" style, whether it be through listening to the same music or daring to play video games, which they like to imagine their generation invented.
Permanent infantilism.
