Uh Oh! Gen Z is aging like shit

A lot of them are getting cosmetic surgery so young.

R1 So young.

Why would young people need plastic surgery?

Best for optimum long-term results, R3.

Jordan the Stallion is 26 and looks more like 40.

It's the vaping.

Why would vaping age you faster than cigarettes? I’m Gen X and kids were smoking at 13.

R5 he looks older than Childish Gambino

Taking hormones will also destroy your skin.

I can't believe Cassidy Hutchinson is Gen Z.

This has been going viral.

The faster the better!

Covid-related?

Shit!

Some of them look older than Gen X!

Millennials signed a pact with satan for eternal youth. Sorry Gen Z, you're going be the first generation to largely die before the older one!

That's lit

R11 in his case, black DO crack

Gen Alpha, the kids of millennials, are already punking Gen Z.

Generation ALPHA is getting the best name ever.

That’s to say nothing about their TikTok addiction causing retardation of the brain.

Generation Alpha can’t go anywhere unless their Apps greenlight it

I'm Dead.

No really. I'm a gen z and I'm literally 💀💀💀💀💀 before Millennials

Gen Z's children are going to be Generation BETA 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

Generation ALPHA Dog.

Gen Z is just a stopgap!

all the selfies stole a part of their soul.

R24: Generation Alpha = THE OMEN

What is happening in op's photo?

It's just difficult for them to see their unfiltered faces. You know, without their wrinkles and eye bags removed. Eye color lightened. Face slimmed.

They didn't know they looked and aged like everyone else, y'all! They thought those filtered photos were the real them! 😭 😭 😭

There is this (formerly) cute ASMR guy. He couldn't have been more than 20 and got plastic surgery and he looks like a joke now. And then there's all the filters one sees on Grindr. Creepy, weird looking young men.

Could tech and screens have something to do with aging people faster? I’m sure Gen Z stays inside way more than previous generations too.

It's because of the jab.

R11 I have never seen such an old-looking young black guy

A large portion of Gen X and ALL of Millennials benefited from the anti-smoking campaigns. Gen Z decided to reverse that and these are the effects.

Who cares what these lesser generations are doing? They have never amounted to shit.

Here's Gen Z in a couple of years!

Well, for once being a Millennial has paid off.

Well, Gen Z is the most anxious and depressed generation to date...AND they aren't fucking each other. That shit'll age you fast. Blaming it on vaping is ridiculous. There is no way vaping is aging anyone in a more significant way than smoking did (or being surrounded by 2nd hand smoke all the time, as we millennials still were in our youth). Plus, millennials were smoking (AND drinking) plenty in high school and college.

The only thing I can put it to if this is indeed true is the increased stress. Gen Z were born into monthly school shootings, inescapable social media, helicopter parenting, late-stage capitalism, 24-hour news, gender insanity, etc.. It will only be worse for Gen Alpha. Millennials pretty much just had Columbine and 9/11 until we went off to college. We had the halcyon days of the Clinton era as kids. We played outside everyday worry-free. "Play date" wasn't in our lexicon. We weren't over-scheduled, over-protected, and micro-managed by our Boomer parents. We weren't attached to screens all day, everyday (I didn't even own a cell phone until I was 22). We actually had a break from our school bullies when we went home at the end of the day. The economy was pretty damn good until we were graduating college.

We were also the "health and wellness" generation (yoga, detoxes, organic/vegan eating, etc.) in our 20's and 30's as an overcompensation for the fruit roll-up + pizza bagel diets we were raised on in the 90's. Whereas Gen Z was the "health at every size" generation in their early adulthood as overcompensation for the anorexia-chic trends of the aughts.

Boy I guess we can count Social Security out, right fellow Xers? No one will be working to support the country! They'll all be dead!

This girl is 23 but looks like she's in her thirties.

R11 could be Cuba Gooding Jr's grandpa

19 but looks 47...

Vaccine injured.

R40 ...and she had an otoplasty.

Jack Harlow is WHITE?

Jack Harlow is Gen Z?!

I thought he was an older Millennial.

ALL THE RAGE 🚬 🚬 🚬

R47

Lucky Strikes the best way to have a youthful looking face. Luckies age your face so slowly and keep it looking fresh and young even thru your 20s.

I don't think they're going to age well in their thirties at all.

It's the expressions they contort their faces into for their constant selfies. The expressions aren't natural; the vancant stares, the pursed butthole mouths, the furrowed brows. Over and over, to get that perfect snap.

Mark my words; it’s those nut and seed milks!

I just saw a pic of a woman’s kid that I knew from when he was little. He is a sophomore in high school and looks thirty. Deep marionette lines already.

r42 Millie Bobby Brown fascinates me. I've never seen a 19 year old try so hard with every stylistic and design choice she makes to like a middle aged hooker.

R53 and she has a skin care line! LOL

They're so young to have these insane, expensive skincare routines. Millennials never did LOL

[quote]Millennials signed a pact with satan for eternal youth. Sorry Gen Z, you're going be the first generation to largely die before the older one!

Of course, there's bound to be a little suffering. Eternal youth is worth a little suffering.

[quote]Gen Alpha, the kids of millennials, are already punking Gen Z.

The humorless, victimhood, 'woke culture' is going to be fodder for future comedians in a decade, after 'woke' has run its course and comedy is king again.

They look/sound/act like pathetic circus side show freaks. You've got the fat lady/man. The bearded lady. The half man/half woman hybrid. Rainbow-colored hair. etc.

And they're very open about it on social media, so plenty of inspirational material.

She looks so old R53

Lourdes Leon is Gen Z and she looks like crap

Is the New York Times reading Datalounge?

They almost copied thread title.

The Zoomers are so AGEIST so this is especially funny!

They don't want to be unattractive hags!

Generation Alpha is going to eat Gen Z alive.

The next generation will be getting Botox in high school.

r63 Jesus they sound horrific. Someone needs to resurrect Mrs. Patsy Ramsey, formerly of Boulder, CO to ""solve"" this problem before it gets too far.

Thanks to celebs, women in their 50’s and 60’s ar no longer allowed to have a single wrinkle or they are automatically “ugly”

LOL! Age cunts. AGE!

This is hilarious

Unlike we Boomers with our 40 years of unfiltered Dunhills and Boodles?

Camilla is 72 that's not aging that's called being old.

Gen Z are aging like Boomers did! Except Boomers didn't have the benefit of knowing how bad sun damage and cigarettes were. No wonder Zoomers rhymed themselves after Boomers!

UH OH! WE ARE DYING! NOT BLOODY GROOVY! MAKES US CRANKY!

OP Go ( in your pants) Boomer.

Fuck Gen Z.

They have no power except for whatever Millennials decide for them.

A lot of generations before Boomers went in the sun and smoked.

Millennial vs Gen Z aging comparison. He's 35 and she's 25

She's 24 going on 40.

It’s probably their lifestyle. Many of them get next to zero exercise and fresh air. Going for a 20 minute walk is an event they prepare for every few monthes. They also eat like complete pigs.

We need to change the name of generation alpha to the Honey Badger generation

It's the vitamin D deficiency from spending so much time indoors.

I’ve worked with a lot of them who are actually very sickly. Sometimes it’s nothing diagnosed but they constantly have headaches or they get middle aged diseases. It’s is really weird and I’ve been thinking that for years. It’s interesting to see others find them to be older looking.

They look and act older because they have grown up in the face of a dismal future. Everything they have been told is that the future will be problematic, rightfully so. I remember growing up as a kid and being excited about what the future held. For these kids it's all doom and gloom.

R78

Z being the last letter to choose from. The Last Generation.

After GenZ is finally gone from this world it’s going to be a Russian China dominated world. Our time will be over. But we would have gone out soft, pampered, triggered, lazy, non serving, and often upset, having done absolutely nothing for the common good except ask where is mine and when will someone else fix things.

From the Greatest Generation to The Last Generation enjoy the time you have you have earned what’s coming.

So R83 just brought to my attention that these generational labels are JUST American pretty much. It's how America describes their populations? I mean baby boomers got their name after the Baby Boom of WWII. Obviously the end of the war was felt all over the world. But the success of the victory was mostly felt in the United States which didn't have to build itself up out of the rubble like Europe, which therefore lead to a baby boom. So Americans are wrapped up in defining complete swaths of populations based solely on their experience of them. The GenZ label might not apply at all to say Italian youths, or French kids.

Accelerated Aging is both a real thing , a medical condition, and something that is increasing with younger generations.

So they look older may be less than just an illusion.

Soft papered triggered and old before your time is one way to go thru this world. Enjoy.

They are obsessed with novel skin treatments from unproven brands shilled by unknowns online. They keep acquiring gizmos like face steamers and elixirs that are probably all alcohol and glycerine as well as a stew of chemicals. They are also wearing sunscreen despite barely going outside with more soon to be proven carcinogenic ingredients.

We love you, too, R83.

R85: Gen Z is aging as poorly as the baby boomers did. The Boomers also looked like shit by their 30s!

They look horrible. They look 43 at 19 now.

Those shapeless, matronly clothes do them no favors.

Whoa

R91 Millenial looks pathetic being 35 in those shorts. The Gen Z looks like she’s on chemo.

Screen faces.

Awwwww

Mental health is physical health. Doom scrolling, curating everything for social media, swiping left and right, did they think living detached from society via their phones as a proxy for real human interaction wouldn't come at a price.

I live near Cal and its sad to see them. Even the cute ones are all damaged goods.

Oh my god, Gen Z isn't aging worse than any other generation, they're just (unsurprisingly) the most neurotic about it to date.

If you go to any of those 'skincare addiction' subreddits it's almost entirely populated by 20-year olds posting closeups of their pores and breathlessly describing their 30-step Korean skincare routines and wondering if maybe they shouldn't be putting on sunscreen before going to sleep at night to protect them from the tiny strip of morning light that peeks through their bedroom curtain at 7am. They're on tretinoin for "anti-aging" when they're 17, "preventative baby botox" by 22, accutane for greasy noses and spironolactone for a few chin zits on their period. They're getting ponytail facelifts before their first cars. And this is the girls AND the boys. Their medicine cabinets have about $300 worth of skincare products at any given time (many that they house in specially designed pastel-colored mini refrigerators in their bathrooms) yet they can't afford to move out of their parent's houses.

The "Body Positivity Generation" is gripped by dysmorphia and self-obsession to the point of crippling anxiety and debt and they haven't even started getting grey hairs yet. How the fuck are these toddler egos going to cope with an ACTUAL aging body?

^Seriously that's my 25 yo niece you describe.

R96: No. They actually are aging like shit.

This happens when you decide to bring smoking back into style.

R98 As evidenced by a photo of young man with otherwise perfect skin whose forehead creases when opening his eyes wide and lifting his eyebrows (as any other un-botoxed human forehead would also do)?

Here is an example:

"HALP! How to get rid of skin??!"

-Old Hag, 23

R98

Can’t blame that on tobacco smoking for the majority, the gen z young folks have the second lowest tobacco smoking rates in the US. Only the 65+ age group smokes less

Although if you do smoke tobacco it’s going to age you significantly

R98 has grey in his beard. How old is he supposed to be?

R102: 25 years old.

Sunscreen?? I’ve never actually seen them outside. Are they in those ultra paranoid black tinted window cars.

R26 owns the thread!

So the sun ages you and blue light ages you. What exactly are people supposed to do to not prematurely age? Sunscreen seems to be controversial too.

Tik Tok is aging them
