Psychologically you can never see a past generation looking young as you feel and look.
You only associate certain faces with being old, so when u see old pictures of them even when they're young... they still look old.
Just like as we age, even tho we get older we still look in the mirror and people of our generation as looking "young" and we look at everyone younger than us as looking like kids even tho they in they 20's.
It's just a generational thing.
I'm 30 and my young i has see me as sooooo old, but my OGs see me as wild young. It's a mental thing.
