2.3 “Exzesse” in German Youth Discourse

The German noun Exzess (plural Exzesse) historically connotes overindulgence and moral critique (Weber, 1975). In the 2010s, however, German youth appropriated Exzess to celebrate maximalist aesthetics—e.g., “Neon‑Exzess” in club culture (Fischer, 2018). The prefix teeny (English “tiny” or “youthful”) adds a self‑ironic twist, positioning the excess as both diminutive and stylized. Sibel Kekilli Dilara - Das Beste Aus Teeny Exzesse
