Social psychology on Wikipedia, and Gottfried Helnwein
My Wikipedia searches of the last few days:
Social psychology and international terminology for what the Japanese sometimes call "Parasite Singles" - the kids who stay at home leeching off their parents when they should long ago have gotten themselves a decent job and moved out!
Japan:
-- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasite_s
-- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freete
-- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hikiko
UK
-- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NEET
America:
-- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twixte
Also, "Otaku murderers" which are quite fascinating (as is hikikomori, above)
-- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsutomu_Mi
-- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiroyuki_T
I also discovered the artist Gottfried Helnwein after a period of browsing random images uploaded to Livejournal. He's absolutely brilliant though, sadly, none of his best art seems to be available as posters or prints. :(
