The three-life generation: love, marriage, and having children
The five-life generation: the three-life generation plus house purchase and employment
The seven-life generation: the five-life plus Dreams, hopes, and relationships
Things that modern young people have abandoned as time goes by.
Why abandon it? Is it true, as adults say, that modern young people give up because they can't bear the hardship? Is giving up so easy to blurt out?
The core of giving up actually comes from economic-related issues.
Young people go to school and graduate from college step by step according to social norms, but they are burdened with student loans that need to be repaid and endless job hunting dilemmas. And even if it becomes an automatic machine that reads, studying hard day and night, the number one position can only accommodate one person. It’s the adults who shape the world into a world where we have to use our friends and climb on their shoulders to get ahead, but it’s the young people who suffer.
In the song lt;N.Ogt;, BTS questions the world, how can we survive in such a values ??system where the jungle prevails?
It is often said that he has too high aspirations and cannot find a job, but in fact, he works in a convenience store to repay his school loan. Even if he pays it with his monthly salary, it is still like a bottomless pit that cannot be filled.
After having no choice but to compromise with reality, I found a job, but strangely, I made money but had no money. It was not that I was trying to use money luxuriously, but that I didn’t even have any quota for love or leisure. , all the money is used to pay off student loans or rent, and in the end it can only form debt to make ends meet.
If you do not grow up in a wealthy family, you will be in debt as soon as you leave society. This is a similar situation all over the world today. According to a 2017 Institute for Fiscal Studies research report, British college students have an average debt of 50,000 pounds on the eve of graduation. Lazzarato, an Italian sociologist and philosopher, said: "Debt is the key to the functioning of modern society." Only when individuals are dominated by debt can it be easier for wealthy people to accumulate wealth, which is the so-called neoliberalism.
Neoliberalism is the economic liberalism that started in the United States and the United Kingdom from the 1970s to the 1980s. Simply put, it is a means to reduce government intervention and promote more prosperous economic activities. Although it is full of difficult terms such as "globalization" and "financial liberalization", its essence is to recognize the occurrence of "international debt" and it is also one of the important players that dominates the world today.
Hans Peter Martin mentioned in his book "The Globalization Trap" that money in the world will continue to flow to the 20 people, while the remaining 80 will have more and more hardships. These victims include white-collar workers and people at the bottom of society, showing concerns about the gradually weakening social security.
In "Anti-Oedipus" co-authored by modern philosophers Deleuze and Guattari, it is mentioned that "the circular flow of money is one of the means of creating infinite debt", which once again verifies the concept of money in today's society The fact that mobility is concentrated in the upper class.
Therefore, the responsibility for causing the N-thrift generation should be borne by the new economic liberalism. An even bigger mistake is to blame this result on individuals. Young people have been dominated by the new economic freedom caused by money since childhood. They are brainwashed in the socialist rules and criticized by the adults of the previous generation for not working hard enough, not having strong willpower, and living such a hard life at their own peril. This makes them carry a sense of guilt and suffer through what should be the most beautiful time in their lives.
As the saying goes, the "three-throw generation" tells the story of modern young people who must give up life goals such as dating, marriage, and having children due to financial difficulties. It also extends to the "five-throw generation" that abandons interpersonal relationships and property purchases generation". BTS satirized this phenomenon in the song "DOPEgt" with the homophonic sound of generations (meat jerky). This phenomenon is clearly caused by fundamental problems in the social system, but adults blame it on young people who cannot withstand the test. But even so, in the dim and unclear early morning, when alone without external oppression, they still quietly put their heart into their hearts. A small hope ignited, hoping that one day we can change the world.
Tell everyone that this is not your fault. Ignore the criticism. Get rid of the guilt. Create your own story. Apart from the daylight hours taken away by economic predators, the early morning hours are our freedom. Moment, in this time that belongs to you, wake up the sleeping youth, and carve out the blueprint of hope edge by edge, and you are not alone, and BTS is by your side.
BTS’s ideas are exactly the same as Lazarato’s. Lazarato advocates breaking away from the dominated life model of neoliberalism and finding a life different from it. This is class struggle and it is also about you. The battle between one's own nature and the self.
BTS calls on young people to escape from this throwaway generation that has become a label, "to continue living towards the future, and to believe in the new possibilities of life in this world." Here The world is not the world given in today's norms, but means a new world created by one's own hands.
