You are not a “boomer” if you aren’t in your twenties. You are not irrelevant if you aren’t in your twenties. You don’t go straight from being a kid to being “old”. Stages of life are fluid and vary for each person, and should be savored to the fullest of your means to do so.
Stop letting internet memes about age, height, and general state of being have an actual impact on your mental health. They mean nothing, and don’t benefit you in any material way.
edit 1 part 1: this is the worst comment section I’ve even seen in any Hexbear thread in all my years, except for @[email protected] who is as always the best of us
edit 1 part 2: generationalism is also made up, don’t let people put you into boxes and further don’t put yourself into a box that someone else made up for you
When a woman turns 30, she enters a chrysalis to begin her metamorphosis from “teen” to “milf”.

Female adult film stars hit a point after about 25 where they’re too old for teen stuff but too young for milf and its harder for them to find work
My friends were literally making milf jokes at me when I turned 30.
You girls look your best past 30 and that’s just a fact
Seriously pretty much every woman I know had several glo-ups over the course of their thirties it was wild.
lmao look at this old mf
I don’t get older. I just get hotter every year. I’m projecting that by 80, I will be the hottest woman to have ever lived
Hell yeah

Here’s hoping you also gain the power to drain the life from fascists with a single touch
I’ve lived through so many weeks where decades happen that I’m now approximately 240 years old
People hit “old” at different times. Tim Rogers had an anecdote in one of his video reviews where he was talking about his two co-workers at Sony Entertainment Japan that were around the same age - one was cool AF and doing gigs in a jazz fusion band and the other was a boomer.
I gotta say that having a kid definitely speeds up the aging process a bit. All that extra responsibility tacked on at once is some “weeks where decades happen” shit lol.
谢谢
You put timestamped links in, too :)
I’m in this weird limbo where my whole body aches but I still get carded buying alcohol
Try a beard.
I have a full beard and definitely “look” my physical age. Maybe a bit younger because I never went bald, but still, I’m in my mid 30s so even if I appear 25 or 30 I shouldn’t get carded. My understanding is a lot of those workers just card for alcohol nearly 100% if someone even look vaguely young at all. Like if you don’t have a gray beard and your face skin sagging to your chest, you’re getting carded.
I’ve been Old since I was 25 and lost my hair
My dad was bald around that age (from pics I’ve seen).
My brother and I have intact hairlines into our mid-30s. My dad used to get pissed when I’d call him bald and say something like “yeah, whatever, you’ll be joining me soon enough.” My brother and I also independently sort of just let our hair grow out.
I’ve always been a disappointment to my dad.
All jokes aside, wholesome post
I’m a not at all secret third thing
Middle aged
(I’m 40)
By American male life expectancy, I am also middle aged.
Middle aged includes many boomers. The earliest Boomers are just starting to get “elderly”, if you’re going off of 70 ish. It’s all arbitrary anyway but just thought I’d point it out. The middle is by far the biggest part for everyone that dies of old age
Most working class people are dead by 70. Elderly begins at 50
Everyone here is 40
No I literally woke up one day and looked in the mirror and saw
Did you try to simply stop making The Expression?
Oldness can come in big lurches. I suddenly went from being carded for alcohol every time to maybe 2 times a year. During the last 20 months I added 1:30 to my mile time, my cognitive activities decreased significantly, I lost a 3" patch of hair off the top of my head and the rest thinned 75%. I have to stop myself from telling my adult kid to make sure they’re getting regular sleep whenever they tell me they’ve been up late studying. I haven’t been asked by a stranger if I have any weed for several years.
Do you have any weed?
Age is just a number until you look up a condition you have and the internet is all “primarily affects middle-aged . . .” and that’s when you become old. That and realizing that they’re playing “Complicated” at the grocery store because you’re the target demographic and it’s on the oldies station meant for you and will stay there for as long as stores can play music at people.
At 33 I feel much younger than at 23.

Man I don’t, but I am a lot more grounded. Honestly the diminishing sex drive has felt like an absolute boon and I wish I had just opted to go on a ton of antidepressants early bc I feel so much more clear headed about relationships than I did before.
The back pain jokes crack me up bc I tweaked my back as a teen in track and it’s never been the same so I don’t relate so much… it’s just always been there
