WHAT DOES SLACKER MEAN IN GERMAN?

Slacker

Slacker is a term for a person whose lifestyles are characterized by low achievement and adaptability in school and / or profession. Originally, the term was used in the USA for people who wanted to escape military service. In the 1990s a conceptual transformation took place. Initially, in response to corresponding, negatively perceived, tendencies of the youth culture of the generation X a clearly derogatory term, Slacker can now also generally call an unconventional person. The term has been widely known by the film Slacker, whose German title is Marauder, by Richard Linklater. Slackers see their way of life as a way to self-realization by consistently avoiding or at least postponing efforts in areas that they regard as unimportant. One characteristic of this is the renouncement of professional careers, social advancement and status symbols. The appearance is given little importance. Slackers are usually not organized in formal groups.

Definition of Slacker in the German dictionary
