I have seen in many US shows where they portray guys who are living with parents as losers, or there are jokes or memes about it, I never get it.

    Implication is that you’re incapable of being self sufficient.

    Holdover stereotype from when living on your own with a service job was realistically doable. Which just flat out is not the case in most cities now.

    Although not wanting your parents hear you bang is totally fair.

      Agreed. I think this is more of a late 90s / early 2000s thing. It’s become more acceptable today for sure, especially if you’re going to university or something.
