I don't see any links to Vsauce's video on this so I'm going to assume every response is wrong. TLDR: Styles become associated with eras and people in those eras become associated with our perception of that age bracket.

Also, because of increased healthy lifestyle awareness, we are actually ageing slower than we used to. The clue is in the cigarette the top cartoon smokes. Today we smoke less, we exercise more, we use more sunscreen and we eat healthier, all allowing our bodies to produce more firm collagen in less damaged skin cells.

This. Remember the cool kids from high school smoking, drinking, taking drugs? Yeah they look like 50 in their 30s now.

But what if you found out the opposite? I did it all but cigarettes in HS and college and I look 10 years younger than my middle age, it's pretty sweet.

I’m also in the same boat as this, I think it really comes down to genetics plus health risk factors

It makes people feel better thinking the kids who did drugs and partied are disadvantaged.

yep! but the difference is only a couple of years in apparent age. so really, nope.

I saw something speculating that Americans still age faster than other countries due to all the hormones they consume in animal products.

I saw something speculating jews shot space lasers to start forest fires. Luckily, I understand speculation isn't fact.

Appropriate username.

Also with names. Like picture a Mildred or even a Vicky, and you probably conjure up a person of a certain demo

"Agnes" is one hundred percent a fossil you saw driving on the highway.
