Lol demographically speaking this is a "millenials discovering aging" thing, not a "gen
Z discovering aging" thing

[(Anonymous)]

I assure you, since they are now pretty much approaching their forties, Millennials are all well aware of the ageing process and have been for a while. That is why they drink so much. Gen Z, in their late teens and twenties, are the ones starting to make that unpleasant discovery.

[(Anonymous)]

the midpoint years for millenials are 1988 and 1989; the median millenial turned 30 in 2018 or 2019, and most millenials are 35 or under. only the very oldest millenials are approaching their 40s. there are still under-30 millenials. and it seems to me that - in general - people don't really think about the unpleasantness of aging in their late teens or early 20s. not even in their mid 20s necessarily.

and also, it's the millenials who would be most likely to be up in their feels about the vintage MCU Avengers in the first place, not the gen Z.

However you want to sell your bullshit to yourself is fine.

bruh

1981 is millennial. If you are speaking of the eldest of the bunch, you are looking at people already IN their 40s, not simply approaching them.

You feel the damn effects of aging if you aren't taking care of yourself as well as you could (for whatever reason that may be).

[(Anonymous)]

Sure but I stand by my broader point? Most millenials are 35 or under, and there are still a lot of millenials under 30.

Nayrt

The oldest Millennials are already OVER 40.

I get that under-30 Millennials (a rapidly vanishing demographic) would feel differently. I was born at the tail end of Gen X and when the eldest of that generation hit middle age in the 2000s I was only in my 20s and didn't give a shit about their angst.

AYRT

I should have said "approaching or over 40" to be more correct, but I don't think the statement was really wrong otherwise.

[(Anonymous)]

Bruh, chill.

As a mid-GenX, I I think it's weird seeing younger gens angsting over turning 30. Which is not in any way old.

It's an interesting look at how society values youth, from the viewpoint of a middle-aged person.

And also those shitty incel guys who act like women are over the hill when they are clearly not. (Not that any of you want those fucking loser guys anyway.)

Dunno. I would think that Gen Z would actually start dealing with the realities of aging now since a decent percentage of them have parents who waited to have kids (and some are witnessing their parents being caretakers for their grandparents). From what I've heard my Gen X friends say, Gen Z is getting earlier everyday exposure to the effects of aging.

[(Anonymous)]

THIS. Personally, me and all the fellow Millennials I know were starting to genuinely confront the realities of aging around our mid-20s. Admittedly, it would not surprise me if it takes the average man five years longer to hit that point than the average woman, due to blah blah society sexism biology SOCIETY blah blah blah. But yeah, IME mid-20s is the point where shit starts getting real, like fuck I knew youth was fleeting but how is it SO fucking fleeting though, damn. So sure, some of the very youngest Millennials may be just hitting that point now, but from what I've seen, most of us are well past that point.

I read an article a few years ago about how common it is for people to just assume things in their life will fall into place by the time they are 30. Like, 20s are for having fun and figuring yourself out and setting up your life, but 30s are for actually living your adult life. So while you didn't have to have actually accomplished a bunch of stuff by 30, you at least needed to have the foundations: financial stability, on a good career path, committed relationship (if not already married), could go out and buy a house tomorrow (if you don't already own one), in a good place to have kids soon (if you don't already have them), etc. (as applicable). A study showed people still operate under this assumption even when they are 28-29 and not actually on track to have everything fall into place in the next year or two. So, it makes sense that people 25-29 would be getting low-key panicky because not all the major life milestones are just magically happening to them.

Gen Z might have a different perspective. Millennials had WWII-Boomer generations and maybe the oldest Gen X-ers to look to as examples and probably thought "They mostly seemed to have their shit together by 30, so that's just how it works for everyone." Then they grew up and wages had stagnated, housing was expensive, and oops! Financial crisis! Gen Z might be less optimistic on that front. On the other hand, they have been much more intensely affected by social media freaking out over skincare and wearing cheugy pants or whatever and may be more acutely aware there are younger folks coming up behind them who are going to start labeling them uncool before too long. (Obviously this has happened to previous generations but nobody had Tik Tok then.)
