Why did many people criticize NEET more than ten years ago, but few people mention it now?

On the one hand, more than a decade ago, most of the parents of that wave of young people had no economic conditions and no connections. They mainly relied on young people to work hard and make their own way. Some young people depend on their parents and are called old-fashioned. We don't want too many such situations in society. We hope that young people will create more value for society.

On the other hand, in today's society, "gnawing at the old" is still widespread. As young people, I can only say that I am grateful to my parents for creating such a good living environment for us. Young people work in their hometown, live in their parents' house, even live in the house bought by their parents and eat the meals cooked by their parents. Basically eating at home, at home. Actually, it's eating old people. This is a common phenomenon. As long as young people don't do nothing by themselves and ask their parents for money, society will not criticize this phenomenon too much.
