At some point 40 happens.
It’s interesting though as it’s the complete opposite of previous generations where kids wanted to be treated as adults as soon as possible (request for responsibility), focused on improving their lot in life, and their passion project was raising a family.
“Cool” was something previous generations also dispensed with in very early adulthood and maybe replaced it with “respect” as something more useful than fetishizing a personality trope.
Not sure if the shift is good or bad but if it is bad you can’t really blame the kids.
