It's pretty normal to refer to twenty-somethings as kids if you're old.

[–] Stegget@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

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.
