Perhaps it is the case that "workers" (or in this case non-workers) have rejected this capitalist subjectivity, at least in some part
NTA NEETs don't reject capitalist subjectivity, they often support it by embracing consumerist values. In many ways, NEETs are like Marx (and much of the bourgeoisie) in their hatred of the need to labor but also of the environment which pushes humans to toil. Although, I'm simply assuming 'bourgeoisie' and 'prole' continue to have any meaning. The refusal to work often stems from social-psychological dysfunction, the inability live an ideal lifestyle (the one sold to you by consumer capitalism), and regular unemployment. This is why many NEETs are reactionary leftists who dream of automated communism, not far removed from the Wall E like world neoliberalism promises.
The only shared trait among NEETs is that they are deemed non-productive social scum by the standards of political economy (liberal and Marxist, pick your poison). So too are self-subsistant peasants, Sahara nomads, Mongolian herders or Amazon Indian tribes etc. all groups of people governments and the UN agencies see as non economic and try to eradicate and make productive through civilization and development. NEET is nothing more than a label stamped on a group economists can't really understand because they privilege productivity. NEETs aren't non-economic, they share, they exchange, they depend on family and friends for support etc.
NEETs are a byproduct of how chronic underemployment at a mass scale compared with the spread of neoliberal values has created, in urban economies, a whole pool of despairing people: a precariat. Those who can't keep up with the rat race slump down to the canvas, and that's the demographic that get called NEETs. They won't rebel against the system because they are to powerful and they actually believe in its ideology, which they don't reject, so they just rot. This is damaged life.
