Dutch student slang. This is a Dutch word. You will hear it a lot at Dutch universities, student associations and in student houses.
From 2015 the free grant of about 280 euros a month for students living away from home disappeared. So this group had to borrow everything. The grant came back in 2023, which made the pechgeneratie feel even unluckier. Also read about leenstelsel and broke student.
