When you look 25 but also 45
We think people in older pictures look older, partly because people used to age faster, but also because we associate the clothes they're wearing with what older people wear now. Their fashion stayed mostly the same, they're old now, so when we see pictures of them in the same fashion, we think they look older.
It’s the lead exposure generation 😂
I was thinking that but then I realized younger me would probably just think they looked old and that maybe I’m the one that’s old.
