According to Zhu Chongke, a professor in the School of Asia-Pacific Studies at Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou, the popularity of the word diaosi stems from the fact that it was formed by ordinary people and consequently resonates with a huge population. “Labeling yourself a diaosi offers a means for people to mock themselves and ease stress, for this reason it spread quickly,” Zhu told Xinhua News Agency.
广州中山大学亚太研究院的朱崇科教授说，正因为“屌丝”一词是由大众创造的，才引发了共鸣，变得流行。“通过给自己贴上‘屌丝’标签，人们找到了一个自嘲和减压的出口。因此这个词汇迅速传播。”朱崇科在接受新华社采访时说。
Ke Qianting is an associate professor in gender studies at Tsinghua University. “The pressure of marriage intensifies worries among this group,” Ke told Sohu.com. “Many of those young men claim to be diaosi, since they can’t find a proper woman to marry.”
