As a millennial, I recognize that us 90’s kids just look like very tall teenagers, where as people our age back 30 to 40 years ago actually LOOKED like they were in their 20’s. Why is this?

There is definitely an effect from the medium. School kids look so old in a staged black and white photo of that time. But when you see the same kids in a casual video setting (colorized artificially) suddenly you think: yeah these guys could have gone to my school.
The movement and teenager behavior alone affects your mind’s perception to make them look as young as they really are.
So that effect is real for me.
But also less smoking, drinking and sun. Less physical labor. (Less stress from having kids early? Maybe not true). Our health is just better. People can work longer into their life. Lifespans goin up.
