Young People In Germany: Role Models, Hobbies And Age Limits | Meet the Germans
What's it like to be a young person in Germany? What do German teenagers get up to in their free time? And who are their role models? Rachel finds out more in this week's Meet the (young) Germans - and welcomes a special guest, German TikTok star Younes Zarou!
Rachel moved from the UK to Germany in 2016. As a relative newcomer she casts a fresh eye over German clichés and shares her experiences of settling into German life. Every two weeks she explores a new topic - from unusual bans to meaty cuisine or haunted castles. This week: Young people in Germany.

Were there any surprises in this week's episode? Let us know!
I was surprised! 😁
Those are Germans - there are no surprises with them.
I was surprised to hear that Facebook is not a popular social media in Germany!
Young people in bosnia espatiali 14-20 yr olds smoke, drink and are opsesd with games and phones
I was glad to find out that German teens care about the environment and politics (to some degree). The NFL fan likes the same team and star as I do!
No matter how kind you are, German kids are Kinder.
Hahahaha
hell nah
@@SlushGamerLP it's a play on words because "kinder" is the German word for kids
@@SlushGamerLP u clearly don’t understand
Kinder...joy
No young person could ever figure out how that Jugendwort des Jahres is chosen - when i was in school that competition would usually be the first that we learn of these words
Maybe now that young people actually get more of a say in it, we will be better informed on youth speak :D
Also, „Gammelfleischparty“ was pretty surely inspired by one of the „Gammelfleischskandale“ during those years... not the youth’ fault, someone just made fun of it.
Yeah those words used to be so foreign to us young people, like a couple years ago when "smombie" was elected, nobody i knew had ever heard that word before, but i feel like recent winners are more accurate. Like "lost" and "Ehrenmann/Ehrenfrau" or just "Ehre" get used a lot where I am from and "I bims" I feel like was more of a subculture but not unheard of. They're getting much better
It's weird how they basically used to make up all these Jugendwörter. No one ever used these. All these words sounded really ridiculous to everyone. But most of them stuck. Like "hartzen" for example.

Can't help watching videos about Germans and wondering what the heck is going on. The presenter needs to come with a warning that her witty style might cause a mild addiction to all things German. Well done Rachel, you are brilliant.
Haha thanks!

0:39 "Their stress levels rise when it comes to school" "German kids seem to be graded constantly" Meanwhile in Asia:
*not able to scream because you are dead inside*
I learn to be quiet and walk away if my Asian parent started to say a rather offensive things about me in an argument. I know they don't mean it and it's because they are already stressed out. If that could help them let off the heat, so be it. I'm grateful I still have my parents.
Don’t underestimate German schools. I went to school in Japan and in Germany and I personally was twice as stressed in Germany than I was in Japan. I also noticed my classmates in Germany being more stressed.
Well as a German 15 year old I would like to say, that because we normally get graded every week or so and because one year of online school / lockdown all our "Klassenarbeiten" have been pushed back further and further. Meaning when the lockdown ends we will have to write about 10 major tests in one or two weeks. And since the teachers need to evaluate us on our work in school this is the only chance meaning if you get a bad grade there is no balancing out, it's all or nothing now. Very stressy :(
I am a korea born raised and living Germany now for 5years.... No comment on this😂🤣😂🤣
"Drinking has reduced" maybe in the urban regions. There's a German saying: Trink 3 Bier in der Stadt und du gilst als Alkoholiker, trink 5 Bier aufm Dorf und du bist der Fahrer. And I can say that's true 😂
Ah interesting, unfortunately there is no distinction between city and countryside in the stats I saw - but that would be interesting to find out!
Agreed. I grew up in the “Speckgürtel” so I experienced both sides a bit and I’d say my friends from the country side started drinking earlier and heavier stuff than my friends from the urban areas.
True, when you live in a rural area, there's not much else to do, so no wonder alcohol and lately weed are so popular ...
Do you know the definition of an alcoholic? It's someone who drinks as much as you do but you don't like them.
Exactly. I'm one of those rare persons that don't like to consume alcohol.
Ich hatte voll vergessen, dass es das Wort "Gammelfleischparty" gibt hahah :D

Rachel is the best possible presenter for this series. Just perfect.
We love her too! ❤️
The youth word just startet to be somewhat relatble since 2k19 i guess. Anything before that was simply unknown to anybody and labled as being a word of the youth - which it wasnt.
Yeah, "lost" seems to be valid!
that's true! I work with young people and before 2019 even the teens hadn't heard of the youth word before.
Because it was started as a marketing joke from a publisher. Young peoples suggestions were only taken in the last years, I think :)
@@annarita333 Great marketing. What, this crazy, unheard word was chosen by your ppl? Let's by a dictionary from you. No one, ever haha.

I am from India. I am 17. I admire the fact that German youth has decreased the consumption of alcohol and cigarette. In our country the age limits are almost same apart from alcohol. Here, the young people like us are too much focused with education and career which is increasing the stress level. Till age 20, at least they remain dependent on their parents and are close enough to them. However the hobbies and most used apps are all same. 🙂🙂
Thanks for sharing!

What an outstanding work from Rachel and crew. The locations, script and editing are amazing. It is such a joy watching any episode from this series.
just one thing to add: youth in the countryside and in the city as well as the east and the west have quite different cultures i feel like
Love the longer format. ❤️
This was such a lovely episode, was really amused, and find what we've found out about young ppl in Germany to be just so endearing😊
Yes, love the change up!!! Refreshing! And, love the experimenting in presentation and production, Rachel!!! Now I feel you’re delving into the strata of Germany!! Can’t wait for the next program!:)✨
German youngers sound pretty inspired. :) I think as part of globalization, young people around the world are thinking more and more similar. The main difference with my country (Argentina) is that they are probably under more pressure, because the economy is bad, and are worried about global and everyday life things at the same time. So, the topic of mental health had become popular. And the only heroes in this mess are memes.
The pure join of memes can compensate the fears of ur countries economically development? :o
It can’t compensate at all, but by laughing from time to time decreases the stress levels and it helps to think differently for a moment. It is good to avoid the “burn out” just all the time worrying.
Thank you Rachel! We missed you! Great content as always!

Sie haben Recht
Hey Rachel Stewart I am a German 18 years old man, and i want you to know, that the "youth word of the year" was first elected by the people in 2020. previously it was determined. Thes old "youth words of the year" often had no support by the german youth. The german kids laugt over the words and there was a big lack of understanding. So it is obvious, that you don´t liked the word from 2008.
This year is the first year that teenagers can actually nominate the words themselves instead of voting from a pre-chosen collection of words. So what german teenagers did was to nominate completely random and partly nonsensical words without any meaning at all. For example, "mittwoch" (wednesday) or "geringverdiener" (person with low income). Oh and of course there's "sus"
As an American who has been in prison, I am interested in if crime among Germanys Youth is High?
I love this series so much! Rachel you should be the host of more formats like this 🙂
"Gammelfleischparty" was the term of the year 2008. Half of the youth of that year is already 30 itself. You don't have to feel that bad Rachel.
Such a nice content! Kudos to you !

Amazing episode this week 👏👏
Glad you liked it! 😃
German is such a beautiful language. I wish I could speak it better. Luckily enough I can fully understand it.
All I know of the German language is the fiery speeches I heard on the History Channel and the weird GGG videos.
What do you like about it?
Never to late to learn (or improve)! But congratulations on understanding!
I, as a German, just ask myself, would it really be worth the hassle?
@@ichsagnix4127 Well, many famous texts in science, philosophy and poetry were written in German

it's nice to know that sports and outdoor activities are an important thing for the teenagers
My 9-year old daughter and I are loyal followers of this series. And every time we watch a new video, my daughter tells me she wants to see a video about the playgrounds in Germany! We lived in Berlin, and she loved the playgrounds there!
I’m always impressed by the large and varied playgrounds dotted around many German cities! Greetings to you and your daughter, thanks for watching ☺️❤️
Something I'd like to add are mopeds. Because we can only drive cars at 18, mopeds (125ccm motorcycles) which you can drive at 16 are extremely popular. Especially on the countryside. And thats another thing. Youth in the city is quite a bit different than on the countryside.
Maybe it's just a thing in the school I used to go to but everybody in there seemed to act much more mature earlier than foreign children. I live in the Central West, New South Wales.
Last year the word "Hurensohn" was the most voted for Youth Word of the year, but since its an Insult it was cut from the competition.
Guten tag liebe Rachel, Das war interssant. Die welt ändert sich. Gammelfleisch party, autsch 🤣🤣🤣
Danke und genau, autsch 😆
I'm lucky I'm just in time seeing this vid in the first 45 minutes of its upload
The pandemic made one thing pretty clear: Younger people - to be more specific: those who are not allowed to go to an election yet - are basically nonexistent to the politicians. Billions for Lufthansa, but not a single air filter - recommended by almost every scientist - for schools. Supplying every school with such a filter system in Germany would've cost a sixth of what Lufthansa got with the first support package. "Protect and support is still the motto in air traffic" quote of Andreas Scheuer, Federal Transport Minister. What did the politicians say about the air filter systems for schools: Too expensive. To bring it into perspective: Spahn always says he is confident to be able to make "everyone" in Germany an offer for the vaccination by the mid of this year...to this day, there is not a single vaccine available in Germany that is approved for children...so much for the "everyone".
Immer diese Sache mit dem Lufthansa-Kredit. Es gibt wahrlich bessere Beispiele für die genannte Problematik als den Lufthansa-Kredit. Einerseits ist der größte Anteil ein Kredit, welcher von Lufthansa wieder zurückgezahlt wird, andererseits war die Staatshilfe geknüpft an die Bedingung, dass der Staat zu 20% bei Lufthansa aktientechnisch einsteigt. Hier geht es um ein prinzipiell grundsolides Unternehmen, welches zwar schrecklichen Kundenservice bietet, wahrlich nicht zum klimafreundlichsten Industriezweig gezählt werden kann und zum anderen auch ein sehr unsympathisches Management hat, aber auf der anderen Seite ein solides Unternehmen war, welches Gewinn geschrieben hatte und außerdem tausenden Menschen einen Arbeitsplatz bietet. Man kann sich ja vorstellen, was passiert wäre, wenn der Staat hier der Lufthansa keine Hilfestellung gegeben hätte: Nicht nur einige tausend Arbeitsplätze wären abgebaut worden, sondern 138.000 Arbeitsplätze. Dazu ein kollabiertes Unternehmen, ein Frankfurter Flughafen, welcher seinen mit Abstand größten Kunden verliert und ebenfalls massiv Arbeitsplätze abbaut etc. etc. Bei Lufthansa selbst hatte man intern die geordnete Insolvenz den Staatshilfen vorgezogen, jedoch hatten die Aktionäre für den Einstieg des Staates votiert, um ihre Werte, welche in Aktien angelegt waren, nicht vollends zu verlieren. Grundsätzlich kann man, alle Ursache-Folge-Beziehungen eingerechnet, davon ausgehen, dass im Falle einer ungeordneten Insolvenz wohl geschätzt 150.000 Menschen ohne Job darständen. Ich denke, dass es, wenn man für diese auch nur kurzfristig Sozialhilfe und einen Wegfall von Steuern einrechnen würde, deutlich höhere Kosten für die Volkswirtschaft sähe, als es aktuell der Fall ist. Erneut: Lufthansa ist prinzipiell ein gewinnbringendes Unternehmen, von desses Existenz der Staat profitiert. Die Staatshilfen werden von Lufthansa sobald es geht zurückgezahlt werden. Es gäbe wirklich deutlich besser geeignete Kritikpunkte.
Ma'am I really like you the way you present the topic is marvellous and I am planning to study in Germany for master's. Love from India ❤️
Its good to see our youth do so well. When I was young it wasn´t cool to like your family. All we did in most of our free time was playing video games and drinking.
It's pretty much the same now minus the video games
In my country, the situation is almost identical to the one in Germany, except that more and more young people are drinking and smoking... It is nice to know that one day when more of my compatriots move to Germany, they will not experience a culture shock.

I'm pretty sure they've already been over 30 back in 2008, the youth word of the year was never voted on by young people and didn't resemble words teenagers actually used until 2019, usually no one had even heard the word before (let alone used it).

I’m an 18 teen year old from Scotland, UK and was surprised that consumption of alcohol has decreased by so much in recent years in Germany, do not feel like that is the case here, where it is very common and if you don’t get drunk, not as popular.
It is the same in Germany.
As an American living in Germany, I would say that I've noticed all of these things to be true with the youngsters! Good to know there's a spicy name for how old I am! 😂 #rottenmeat!

»Gammelfleischparty« is so brutal. I feel like I've aged out of being nasty to order people, at 24 lol.
The term actually has some recent history. Between 2005 and 2006 there were several scandals, primarily in regards to döner meat being severely out of date in a lot of places. I think it all came from the same company, after the different local stores fought a hefty price battle, with a döner kebab sandwich being offered for as little as 1€.
Where I am from (Northern part of Germany) the drinking has most definitely not decreased haha. If anything it increased but the aspect about smoking is definitely true. And you have to separate Dorfkinder from Stadtkinder because the people from the Dorf love to get drunk and drink far more than people from the city
Du hast Recht.
Rachel ❤️❤️
I can relate :D
Are British and German youth the same or are they similar or very different? Thanks for your excellent videos🙏

I really appreciate that lost is the winnner of 2020😂 Especially during the first and second lockdown we had to teach the subject material to ourselves. Everything we were supposed to learn in school had to be done at home and was required in the "Abitur". So we laughed at ourselves and said "we are so lost. how are we going to get our Abitur in 2021?" Now, having written 3 of our final exams and having one oral exam left, we wonder what the government was thinking by expecting so much form us without even visiting the school for almost one year
Wishing you the best of luck!
@@RachelStewart04 Thanks! My final oral exam is in six days. I hope I will pass and finally graduate.
Hard to believe the drinking age is so low, however that is great less youth are drinking and less are choosing to smoke. Hopefully they can serve as a sort of role model to other countries and be a leader to aspire to.
Would be cool to do something similar with Czechia and see the difference. I am wondering if we are that similar to Germans as it seems to be :D

Ahahah "rotten meat party" was savage
right...
It may be worth noting that the ironic composite "Gammelfleischparty" became popular not long after "Gammelfleisch" itself had been all over the news for an extended period due to a "Gammelfleischskandal" (rotten meat scandal) involving numerous takeaways using meat significantly past its best-before date (hiding the fact by deep-frying, marinade, spices, ...)

Hello from germany, the Jugendwort des Jahres thing has multiple big problems. 1.) It is not "the official" youth word of the year. It is more a "product" of the german publisher Langscheid. [1] 2.) The process of choosing the youthword is a vote. Wich is good. The problem is, that everyone is allowed to vote as often as the want. Bringing up the internet trolls corrupting it. [2] 3.) The final word (haha wordjoke) has a jury at Langscheid. When they think the choosen word is problematic or they don't want it in their dictionary they remove it. So the vote is nonsense. [3] 4.) Youth language in general dosn't have to be political correct. But Langscheid and the Jugendwort des Jahres tries to be political correct. My personal oppinion is that a traditional german company tries to stay in toutch with a generation not depending on books. Their books. Our generation look up words on the internet, not in a physical dictionary. I knew most of the former words because they were in that competition. I never heard most of them before that voting or used them till today. Maybe there is a bubble of people using it, but I don't know anyone. But i knew most of the banned words. Build your own oppinion. Greeting Mo PS: Really good work Rachel. It costed me a sleeplees night but i watched all of your videos.
