Social Sciences - Science (general)
English term or phrase: Social Swirl
"Of course single people are happy. I’d have been happy staying in kindergarten. But life requires you to move on.
The social swirl is a fantasy, at least after age 30 or so, when all the normal people get married."

"Singles are pathological; if they were “normal,” they would be married by age 30. Singles may think they have friends and relatives and people who matter to them, but all they really have is a “social swirl,” “a fantasy.”

social swirl
uma balada, um "agito"


Explanation:
Posto que social swirl é uma gíria, (que usa a imagem de um redemoinho, algo girando em alta rotação) eu faço esta sugestão algo exótica, de traduzir gíria com gíria.
