From my experience I see more zoomers in their 20s still looking like they could pose as high school sophomores unnoticed than any geriatric. Yet I see photos of millennials in the 2000s with receding hairlines or mature faces or whatnot. Is it all just millennial projection making the youth feel bad because they are the ones turning 40? Just because influences like Millie Bobby Brown exists doesn’t represent the entire zoomer population. Maybe it’s more of an older vs younger zoomer distinction, where younger zoomers are probably looking older. But why do we shame people for “aging badly” as if they will end up as failures in life? Some people just don’t have lucky genetics that is all. And it’s not like aging is always consistent; that guy who looked 30 at 16 will probably still look 30 well into his 50s, and that 30-year-old who still looks 18 will probably receive a massive twink death in a few years or so.
