juvenoia

The fear one generation of adults holds towards the younger generations succeeding them. Often times coincides with the inability to recall one's own childhood and use this as perspective when formulating opinions about "today's" youth.

The feeling that entertainment, social practices, fashion, etc was superior in one's past when compared with how these are practiced by younger generations in modern times.
Jim: "Back in my day, we weren't allowed to have any fun, and didn't want to either! We plowed fields and went straight from toddler to adulthood... it was great!"

Bob: "Jim, I'm afraid you're suffering from what's commonly known as juvenoia."

juvenile breakdown

A type of mental breakdown. When one's inhibitions of maturity, gained from years of life experience, are temporarily stripped away, this results in complete juvenile behavior such as cracking up at incredibly lame jokes that would normally entertain an undeveloped mind.

The only known cause is extreme boredom. When one is bored beyond belief, their subconscious mind must use its surroundings to entertain itself, even though there is nothing of actual entertainment value in the immediate surroundings, resulting in one exhibiting completely juvenile traits.

To treat a case juvenile breakdown, the victim or someone close to him/her must seek an outlet to quell the excessive boredom of the victim.
