how come adults don’t look as ‘mature’ as they used to? I’m told it’s ‘neoteny’ but that answers nothing.

Question

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?

Answer 1

I suspect kids of the future will look at vintage instagram and think millennials and Gen Z look old with their beach waves, curtain bangs, and dad shoes. 20 year from now, it will appear dated and silly to them.
