noun
degenerate ex-student; failed student; dropout
Derogatory term for someone who has left or failed out of school and is seen as having fallen into a dissolute or aimless life. Often carries a judgmental tone.
彼は学生崩れで、今は定職にも就かずぶらぶらしている。
He's a degenerate ex-student, now just drifting around without a steady job.
Refers to a dropout or failure in a broader sense, not limited to students, and can be less harsh.
