I have argued this point in the past, as I'm sure many others, but it's nice to have a term for this concept: hobbyless behavior.

@stefan As a German I thought long and hard, what German phrase was meant.
My best guess is the question "Hast Du kein anderes Hobby?"
This is asked as question and has an even harder sting than the accusation of "hobbyless behaviour".
Because it ask "Don't you have any other hobby?" and therefore implies, that you made anti-social behavior to be your only past time.
@masek Found a bit more about this here:
"I'd say german teenagers were onto something when they used "hobbyless" as the default insult in the early 2010s"
"dutch teens still do this!!"
@stefan It does not say what the German teens said "in German language".
I am not a specialist for teen-speak, but "Hobbylosigkeit" (the direct translation) is something I have never heard in actual use.
@masek I think it's just "hobbylos"?
@[email protected] to be fair it was kinda late millennial / zelenial slang, I think Z and alpha didn't catch up on it
