What is a NEET? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! NEET is a common term within the anime community, and it stands for Not in Employment, Education, or Training; and it's used to describe people who aren't working, training, or in school. Even though it didn't originate in Japan, it's become very popular there because of what it means. Although it's commonly used within the anime community and in anime and manga, it's really considered to be more like an insult. Being a hard worker is important in Japan, so being a NEET means you aren't contributing anything to society. Even in anime, NEET characters are usually looked down on and bullied within that universe. This is because being dependent on someone else is considered a burden in Japan, especially if the person could work if they really wanted to. However, the term NEET in America isn't really seen as an insult, and it's often used by anime fans who don't work. I think it's pretty interesting to see how different cultures view different things like this. As always, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post!
