As children, we all wanted to pursue our lives rapidly in adulthood and simply get old, who are able to make decisions by themselves, there is freedom to plan, travel, and do more with friends at night. This only happens when we actually hit the stage that we think, “The adult is hard, I want to go back to having a baby.”

We all grow up to play every evening to play and now pay bills. But one thing that echoes in adult conversations is the idea of ​​keeping the inner child alive. And okay, let’s just accept it: Trust Millennials and Jane Z to show you how.

Now, if you look around the current craze, it is strangely cute (or not) Labubu dolls hanging from the edge of the purse, adults sleeping with luxuries (sometimes people with heartbeat), or limited-culture cartoon collections run into shops to get their hands on the cartoon collection-they are one of the uses for all kidling culture.

“Yes, we know that the purchase is not for a child, but an adult, and it is Umm … Okay.

This is what makes the ‘kidal’ event, because who said that adults mean to leave your childhood behind?

Kiddlerts – Repeat a toy at a time

The kidalt, as the name says, is about adults who enjoy indulging in J (T) Oys like a child of life.

It appeared for the first time Times In the article on 11 August 1985 “Coming soon: TV’s new boy network.“Next, it was accompanied by dual meanings – one, a child who pretends to mature, and two, one child. Later stalled. It” refers to a social phenomenon in which the growing generation of adults enjoys having fun. ,

Therefore, only ‘new’ about kidalting is that it is no longer a stage or a fashionable word, but has slipped smoothly into the DMS of the youth. Believe it or not, the data says this.

Being ‘adult money’ – a popular word on social media that also enables kidelting – to spend self -suitable money on things that bring comfortable happiness. People often take them to social media platforms to flaunt their ‘adult money shopping’, which you feel bad, not luxury watches or cars but bizarre, toy -to -toys.
