We all know it can be nicer to live without brutal honesty, yet all over my “For You” page this year, I watched TikToker after TikToker ask their followers, “How old do I look?” Almost all of them were roundly humbled; 20- and 30-somethings suddenly saw decades tacked on to their age, whether because their foreheads didn’t move or moved too much, because they didn’t wear makeup or didn’t wear the “right” makeup, or because they colored their hair or let it go gray. What made one person look younger in certain eyes rocketed them to middle age and beyond in others. This turned out to be the first of many signs that, in 2024, no one seemed to know how old millennials should look.
