I have seen in many US shows where they portray guys who are living with parents as losers, or there are jokes or memes about it, I never get it.

    It can be a bad thing for your parents if you are not contributing in any way. Humiliation doesn’t always help in promoting self-improvement but it is a social tool that establish social expectations. Producing value is expected in most societies. What changes is what value ought to be defined.

      Why is being economically disenfranchised corrolated to not producing value? I could understand an inverse corrolation however.

          Producing value is expected in most societies.

          How did you not connect producing value with ownership of property?

              Art has value and needs to be produced. What is the conclusion you want to make about it with regards to ownership of property?

                  You are right that you did not mention being a home owner anywhere, but the inability for people to be so is a very fair reason to want to be living at home. That young people cannot be financially independent is a problem made by the older generations. The same young people may be working and contributing at home, without having said economic freedom.
