The linguistic disease of "teenage wannabeism"

The Belgian philologist Roland Mortier analyses the evolution of the French language in an interview ahead of the 'French language celebration', a week-long cultural event that begins Sunday. "Clearly, language is spoken differently depending on the sector of society. Age, gender, social background determine the way we speak. But the new phenomenon is that adults are aping young people and trying to pass themselves off as adolescents. One feels the need to remain young - referred to as a 'teenage wannabeism' - and I believe this phenomenon tends to spread due to an inversion of the categories of respect. The Greeks admired Nestor because he was old and wise. These days, being old means that one is not wise, that one has lost contact with reality."
