@@kikiTHEalieni don’t know where you live but you are just statistically wrong- the generation with the most work done is gen x, just a simple google search would tell you that. Then it is boomer and millennials, lastly gen z. I don’t think you guys realize that half of gen z is still underage-

This is partially true, but it's also not all Gen-Z. It's mostly to do with fillers and injectables and whatnot that stretch and age the skin over time, which makes _anyone_ look older, not just Gen-Z. I agree though, us millennials are dressing younger and there's definitely a fair amount of projection happening 😅😅

I'm 46 with scars all over my body and face from a life full of experiences. I'm cool with it. Thank you for your service.

Im a millennial and i look 10 years older than i really am. Gen Z is aging fine. Were aging awful (assuming youre working class. Im sure bougie people are aging normal)

As someone whos 31 and still gets carded everywhere i go, i can confirm that the genz's in their 20's look older than me, but genz's at 18-19 at the university near me. Look 12. It's an odd change that's happening.

That or Gen Z have had to grow up in even worse times than we grew up in and excess stress leads to aging prematurely.

it's nothing you need to feel bad about. it's not that you "look old" or something is wrong with you or your appearance, it's likely largely due to the fact that people are bad at guessing ages, as determining an exact age or small range of ages based on physical features is tough, unless said physical features include a tattoo that reads "I was born in the year...". don't let idle chatter bring you down 💖

"Thank you for your service"😂❤love your channel❤❤

When they say gen z is aging poorly it is usually because a lot of them are getting cosmetic surgeries, fillers, and botox at such a young age. They think those would make them look younger, but it does the exact opposite. I don't think I've seen anyone say gen z looks older unless they mean the ones with cosmetic work done.

it's also a thing with preteens for some reason, like 11 and 12 year olds, it already has been when I was that age (which wasn't all that long ago tbf, I'm 17), but it's still concerning because they're much more likely to be affected by toxic beauty standards and stuff, especially if they have uncontrolled access to the internet and sm accounts they're not supposed to have. A lot of them manage to make themselves look way older too and then you can only tell from the kind of people they associate with, which is kids their age.

I can't say much because I'm 29 and a millennial but gen z is only a couple of years younger than me. 🤷‍♀️

I’m sure some people do say that out of jealousy though. I think if some gen z ppl look older it’s because of genes or because they used a lot of makeup at a young age or drugs. Everyone is different though so some people look older sooner and some people look young for longer amount of time because of our DNA. Overall this short is still funny though lol.

I think people are mostly pointing out social media influences and indeed most of them look like mid 40s when they are in early 20s but there are many gen Z who look young and fresh. I think it really depends much on your living circumstances and life choices you make, like how much make up you wear, do you smoke, etc. I was in my late 20s like 28 or something when a person in store thought I was 13 and my father was my grandfather 😳 this is because I was make up free and did not wear bra in this day just like many in their 12 and 13s do. Now I am in my early 30s and I am mistaken for early 20s by early 20s people and I don't wear make up but an acquaintance of mine (born same year) used so much make up that she has wrinkles that are similar to 40s 🫣 I have seen men in their 30s who can pass for mid to late 20s and such that look like they can be grandfathers. Most people in the latter group are construction workers or other heavy type of job with lots of dust and dirt around you. The ones who work in office/especially home office and are happy with their life are the ones who appear younger/fresher. So it is partially environmental circumstances and life choices.

My answer to that statement is always “stress. From all of you.”

Nope, really it doesn't work like that. I am 30 and I literally look like 16 (not appreciated, maybe just a little bit😏), but I do not wear teenage clothes, I just wear minimal makeup. Unlike my gen Z friends, who often want to look older (no idea WHY). So it all depends on social circumstances.

Millennials are aging hard. We didn’t listen to the Sunscreen song released back in 1999. Except me. 😂

Is this actually a thing millenials have said? Ive never heard it before. Maybe we can just all stop insulting other generations, yes, including the boomers.

Actually it's because a lot of Gen Z is getting things like fillers. This is coming from a Gen Z who's researched this.

I mean, we did NOT have great skin care options as millennials. Noxzema, anyone? And very few commonly available sunscreens for the face. I didn't start a decent skin care regimen until I was 30, because that's when I became aware it was a thing lmao.

you are one of my favorite KZreadrs!! I really enjoy watching your videos🩷🩷you’re literally the best!

As a 'younger' looking millenial, I can tell you it's stress. I have, and have had, very little in my life. All this "Gen Z looking older" tells me is that their generation has to deal with more shit than we did.

From my experience (as a gen Z) even if someone has great skin and no wrinkles it is still not that hard to guess their age. It's rather that teens have rounder and short face and adults more contoured. Though, it still doesn't mean adult people look bad because of it. Just know that even though you have smooth skin you can still look your age and it's ok. You still look pretty and attractive. Don't need to be bitter to younger people.

It makes me sad when people think gen Z ers hate millenials and vice versa. I am gen Z but I really love the 2000's and 1990's and don't think that millenials are old at all ! I mean age doesn't defy the person you are. And like I love shows from the 70's - 2000's like Buurman en Buurman, TDI, mean girls !!!

oh no okay bc tell me why im 24 and i thought i was having a stroke reading this hang on 😭 so, because we’re in our twenties from 20-29, that makes the median value of that set of numbers 24.5, right? however, generally when someone says mid-twenties, they aren’t referring to someone who is exactly 24.5, but a wider age range like 24 and 25. otherwise they wouldn’t say“you look mid-twenties,” they would say “you look 24 and a half.” so when we use 24.5 as a halfway mark, early-twenties is 20 to approximately 22/23. late-twenties is approximately 26/27 to 29. so at the very least, that would make 24 to 25 mid-twenties… because they are years in the middle of our twenties.

Lol! Sometimes true! Like few years ago I was at an airport chatting with some people that were 19 and 20. They thought I was 26 .... I was 35. They thought my husband was 28, he was 45.... now thought we have kids and definitely look close to our ages.

I think gen z who get plastic surgery at young age are going for an older mature look - less softer more angular look. I think that is why?

Tbf, gen z is aging poorly. They eat different food, it's way worse for the health, etc. My mum is 39 this year. She works as a party entertainer for kids. She worked with a 20yrs old girl. The company asked her to play Anna and the girl to play Elsa, an older sister. Lol. My mum was mixed up for a student up until she was 35. Even now they give her 25 as maximum age. I look at my classmates and fam, they looked like they r 30 since the age of 15. So, it is true. Gen Z looks way older than they supposed to. (One dude thought i was my mums husband once 💀💀💀)

My favourite was when a millennial co-worker of mine (in hindsight he does have an intellectual disability which I didn’t know about at the time) and I talking about our driving lessons and such, and he stops eventually and asks how old I am. I said i’m 19 and he looked flabbergasted since he thought I was in my early-mid 20’s… And when I was 16 trying to find my sister’s classroom (she was 6) I asked a parent and she deadass said “what grade is your daughter in again?”, long story short I think you’re onto something 😂
