This is what 34 looked like back in 1983

[O.T.I.S.]

I rock mine.

I got a cousin a couple yrs older than me. Had a beard/head full of greys. Dyed that shít jet black. Looked weird as fuçk

Mines is/was patchy, only reason I started doing it.

And I didn’t dye it completely black, just evened it out.

But after this past month it’s damn near snow white

fukking stress… but I like it. Other people seem to as well, damn near every family member commented.

It’s funny because I don’t look THAT old with it. Had people at work thinking I was in my early-mid 30’s and had me like

34 in the 80's meant you had been married for like 8-14 years with 2-5 kids, a mortgage, and a career underway. 34 today means you could've just finished grad school 3-4 years ago, still partying, maybe coupled up but it's just yall two living your best life with a dog...just not the same gravity of responsibility on a lot of 30-somethings the way it was for them

True. I’m having my first child at 41 basically 42 lol…but it’s been a struggle with my wife and I getting pregnant…my mom had me at 23 my sister at 26…I was just talking with my parents about that and we laughed but we all agreed things are different now.

Crazy that this topic was brought up lmbo

Smoking/alcohol/eating like shyt/staying up all night had people lookin crazy but now it's other drugs making Gen Z look terrible. Our gen is the best looking generation

Young Gen X’ers are the GOATS at aging gracefully

It’s the hair and stache styling mostly

This is clickbait. Dude has just aged poorly. Nothing to do with "the times"

This is Smokey Robinson in 1985, at 40 years old

Smokey Robinson in 1981, at 41 years old

That's on you getting fooled out of a black and white photo lol

Probably true, society considered u a full grown adult mid 20's and beyond. My Gen x fukked it up and had their kids in perpetual peter pan never never land

Here you go being a high and mighty egg head fukka again… Smokey look like a 52 year old dope fiend that was a former choir director at a southern baptist church in that black and white pic….

I beleive it

Cliff the mailman on the show Cheers was 35 in season 1 as well

man I remember seeing a meme of the cast showing their ages at the time of the show and I felt so old

 

[-DMP-]

I think we just take better care of ourselvs in certain ways, plus older age ranges are staying fashionable longer instead of dressing “old”. Plus access to more information and cosmetic surgery/products

I seen a post on Reddit that was discussing this and they took a golden girl photo and photo shopped it to give her more modern hair clothes and make up. Went from granny to baddie
