I have argued this point in the past, as I'm sure many others, but it's nice to have a term for this concept: hobbyless behavior.

Honestly with some distance i think I'd say german teenagers were onto something when they used "hobbyless" as the default insult in the early 2010s

"I'd say german teenagers were onto something when they used "hobbyless" as the default insult in the early 2010s"
"dutch teens still do this!!"
@stefan It does not say what the German teens said "in German language".
I am not a specialist for teen-speak, but "Hobbylosigkeit" (the direct translation) is something I have never heard in actual use.

@masek I think it's just "hobbylos"?

@stefan@stefanbohacek.online to be fair it was kinda late millennial / zelenial slang, I think Z and alpha didn't catch up on it

@stefan@stefanbohacek.online I feel that "hobbylos" fills a very similar niche as "asozial" - a word I really dislike. I can't put my finger on which word was used first but it feels like people would only use either of one. Perhaps a class thing?

@nofuj I do see where you're coming from. Certain hobbies do require some level of privilege in terms of having free time and resources.
But I think this is really more about being so devoid of interests and inner life that you end up bothering others.
A hobby really can be anything that's not harmful to others, like strolling through a park, visiting a library. Doing things for your friends, family, and your community.

@stefan so, instead of "get a life", "get a (better[1]) hobby"?
[1] people might be making a hobby of this.

@stefan Hm... there may be some cultural barrier here, but I don't get it. I mean, I get the words and what they mean, but I can't understand the concept. Or how people being jerks relates to not having hobbies.
@jorgecandeias do you have hobbies? @stefan

@stefan I've heard the phrase "get a hobby", but this is somehow more devastating.
