It's pretty normal to refer to twenty-somethings as kids if you're old.
Yeah, the older most people get the more broad their definition of "kid" becomes. I'm almost 40 but I'd wager someone north of 60 would still consider me a kid, relative to their own perspective.
Am in my 20s, and still feel like we're kids. We just happen to pay taxes now...
Wouldn't take normalizing ageism as a good thing. Especially when using terms that are way overexaggerated and imply a whole set of stereotyped concepts on people, because they're younger that you.
