The official Age Requirements to be a ‘YN’ or ‘UNC’

[JQ Legend]

A lot of this neurosis about age is related to Boomers not really being elders in the traditional sense, they are just old mfs. So folks don't see any social/cultural value in being old, it's just watching your friends die and your body hurts.

Every era of your life should have certain privileges, back in the day old folks had wisdom and led the rituals that initiated boys/girls into manhood/womanhood. You would have ceremonial titles/clothes that you only got access to at a certain age, same way you only get access to a car when you are 15 or 16 so you were excited to became a teen as a kid. Now being old you get SS and a "I luv you, grandma" card for your birthday.

If you anticipate your grandkids calling you “grandma” you might have bigger problems on your hands unc

The black community is ran by youth culture. This is a consequence of fatherless homes and a lack of institutional/economic influence from the older generation.

When you have an over abundance of 30+ dusty nikkas and a lack of successful black men, 30 becomes the age where you’re no longer in your “prime” as there a lack of living examples to suggest otherwise.

I’m 23 and real life experience has shown me that 30 while a mature age isn’t really “old”. It’s why technically on the census 18-35 is considered “young adults”. You still have decades as a functional adult to make moves in the world.

How your young ass join the site in the first place? We haven't had true open registration in 8 years.

I almost shed a tear when I got my first "UNC" from someone not my actual nieces/nephews.

Unk status. I felt like the 90s nikkas got more grace. Like at least in the mid 40s, you got hit with unk.
