Failure.

No. My son will be 24 in December. He’s gainfully employed, engaged to marry in the coming Spring, and looking to buy a house for himself an his new bride. What’s even better is my soon to be DIL, who may be the most level headed young 20s girl I’ve ever met, has already made it clear she wants to stay home to raise their children when the time comes.
Needless to say, I’m quite proud and happy how my son has started out in life.

This was not nearly as socially acceptable just a few decades or so ago.

I’m also not buying he ditched a $170k job to do it unless he knew he was getting ready to be let go or the Mom had a terminal illness.

I doubt the 1 in 3 number are unemployed, they are just living at home because real estate is insane
that is out of necessity, not because they want to

I’ve got a friend/client I do some work for on occasion. She has two boys mid to upper 20s that spend most of their lives in their rooms playing video games. She tiptoes around the house and don’t want me doing any work until after 10am since they stay up late playing video games and sleep in.
Their dad died last year and spent a decade bed ridden with a stroke and fighting cancer in the home. So the boys were always felt sorry for and not forced to nut up and go out and build a life.
The entire house is a big ball of depression just pulling in the driveway.
I’ve pulled up to drop something off and I can see the little shits playing video games through the window but they can’t take the time to stop and answer the damn door. Sad

Hey whatever works. Every family situation is different, and if all are consenting adults and fine with the arrangement, who am I to judge? In some cultures, its normal for kids and parents to all live under one roof.
My MIL is widowed and getting older, she’s 76 as of a couple weeks ago. She lives about 15 min away and has her 84 sister (also widowed) as a roommate. We’ve made arrangements that when her sister passes, my wife and I will sell our house and move in with her to take care of her until she passes. I love my MIL like she my own mother. So, as long as I have any say about it, she’ll live her final days comfortably in her own home and never see the inside of a nursing home.

There is a pretty large anti-40-hour work week movement in certain age groups right now. They all see that as a wasted life that stands in the way of their instant gratification of things as simple as sleeping in to traveling all over. A lot of that has to do with the brainwashing of social media, making people think that is an obtainable lifestyle for everyone. I think you are underestimating just how much some people do not want to work and will resort to proudly staying at home to avoid it. Its a cultural shift that has picked up steam.

When I was 26 or 27 my mom had cancer and since I was single and my lease was running out my parents asked me to move back home in case my dad needed help. Best 2 years of my adult life . Rent was $300/month, dinner was ready every day when I got home from work, my dad would feed and take my dogs to run in the woods, and my clothes would magically get washed and folded while I was gone. I took the opportunity to cut work down to part time and I finished up school while I lived there. Outside of work/school I had zero responsibilities. Felt kind of like a 2 year vacation from the real world. My sister's fam lives on the same property so when I'd get home from work I'd build dirt bike ramps and blow shite up with tannerite with my nephews.
My mom's cancer was caught really early and never really progressed. She's been in remission for 7 or 8 years now.

Maybe. Maybe I just live in a bubble, because I don't really see this IRL.

Am I downplaying it? Or is social media amplifying it?

I think you’re greatly overestimating this group. I haven’t seen this working in a front facing position.
What I have seen is younger people struggling with whether to go to college because of lack of affordability, not wanting to take on student loans. But also struggling to find a job with a livable wage without a degree, job experience, or training/certs. So they’re still living at home because they can’t afford housing and rent continues to go up.
I do think there’s a certain group of people who don’t want to work tons of OT at jobs and lose work/life balance. But most just want to afford to live like an adult.

It’s horseshite. Some doofus at the New York Post found 2 people (one of which from a wealthy family where this happens more frequently) so it’s a systematic problem that the OT is educated about

I can think of two cases I personally know of and mentioned one already. I can't think of it ever happening with anyone I went to school with. Again, I think the acceptance of it is more prevalent now.

Probably both. Social media, and articles like in the OP, make it more socially acceptable, which leads to more people adopting the lifestyle because the shame of it is removed.
The same with chicks thinking a "body count" of 100 is cool and OK

Normal people don’t think that
Next week you’ll post an article about how young people don’t date and don’t have sex. You just want to find whatever headline pisses you off and present it as fact at that time. Snowflake shite
