Usage notes[edit]
The term vänsterkid is almost universally considered a pejorative as the suffix kid is meant to imply inexperience, irresponsibility, and inability to use and apply critical thinking. It is mainly used by advocates of right-wing politics to refer to an alleged stereotype of teenagers jumping on the bandwagon by adopting left-wing views.
