Boomerang Generation

The current crop of adults born from about 1975 to 1991. The term Boomerang Generation came from the fact that they move back in after graduating from college. This often occurs because they have spent a small fortune in college and cannot even afford to interview, let alone move to another town that has a good job. They are sometimes stuck working menial jobs that are insulting to their intelligence and qualifications. The down side to the Boomerang Generation, is that people in this age bracket will often move home with any minor setback. This is often condoned by parents and is evidence that we as a society have been prolonging adolescence.

In Japan these people are often called parasitic singles.

Many people in the Boomerang Generation move back home for good reasons such as trying to get on their feet after college. Many are also pathetic leeches who do it at the insistence of other people.
