You may have a point
On the flipside, I do see people my age, who look like they're 26+

Culture change, more effeminate men being born with no fathers

 

[Ooh Marty]

I noticed this as well, kids of that generation look like the 20+ yr olds of our generation.

Its the foods we eat and the laid back culture we had today. No real urgency to stress on shyt day in and day out like back then. Back then, you had to worry about high crime rate, poverty, family problems without the assistance of today. Imagine not having the internet or a PS3 to download old games or a camera phone. How would you cope? Them old niccas had to stress like that cause nothing came easy to them.

I agree......back in the days niccas didn't get their hair and facial hair lined up and pretty every other day.

Add the fact that these kids eat processed foods/ fast foods on the regular. Back then, ya moms cooked your meals and they were actually healthy.
