I think a large part of this Adultescent epidemic comes from generational means. These 20 or 30 year olds, that are returning to live with their parents or are choosing to practice the same habits that they did as teenagers, are here because, for the first time, a generation of young people will not do better in America than their ancestors did. First, there were immigrants to the U.S. that had never been educated. Then, the first generation in the United States; these were the first of the family to go to college. Now comes the adultescents. They are college educated, just like their parents, but as a country we are nearing a time when a degree doesn't even guarentee a stable job. This depreciation of the college education spawns these young adults to fall back on the one person they know that is already stable, their parents.
Don't blame the culture or the decisions of these adultescents, blame an America that has reached it's peak as the ultimate country, strive to sympathize with the first generation of the American decline.
