On social media, a Tiktoker sparked debate about generational aging.
On social media, a TikToker known as Chris Bautista, a 37-year-old millennial, sparked debate about generational aging with a video that left several users stunned.
In the video, he revealed why millennials are aging better than Gen X.
In the footage, he declared: 'Millennials look fantastic for our age, and you cannot tell us otherwise.'
Additionally, Bautista argues that millennials appear younger than their Gen X counterparts. He attributes this to millennials setting a "new standard" for aging well.
He added: 'And the reason why you think we don't look great for our ages is because we have set the new standard of what it looks like to age.'
To further strengthen his perspective, Bautista uses iconic Gen X-era sitcom characters as examples.
He highlights the seemingly older appearances of characters like Al Bundy (Married with Children), George Costanza (Seinfeld), and the cast of Cheers, despite their characters' younger ages.
Chris showed the difference in the characters' ages.

The video quickly viral and sparked debate on social media.
The video resonated with many millennials and has sparked a lighthearted discussion about aging perceptions across generations.
Bautista believes this generation embraces the idea that 30 is not "old." He attributes their youthful appearance to factors like increased use of sunscreen, a decline in smoking, and a cultural shift towards prioritizing health and wellness.
One person said: It’s cause all millennials used the St Ives peach scrub exfoliating wash and we achieved eternal youth.
A second wrote: Those Gen z, “how old do I look?” videos, make me sad for them. A lot of of them look much older than me, and I am almost 40.
While a third commented: Millennials may have zero to show for our lives but at least we got the fountain of youth.
Someone else said: Millenials setting the standards but gen z reverting it back, like how are they 21 and look 33. How!???
Do you agree with Chris's sharing.?
