How are we perceived in the eyes of adolescents? If we look younger than our age or feel fresh as a roach, certain details can give us away. According to Generation Z, an accessory would propel us directly into the “old people” category. We might as well be clear: we are almost all affected!
At what age do you become “old”? According to an Ipsos survey dating from 2019, the French believe that one is considered an elderly person from the age of 69. But everything is relative, since we can feel young, even at an advanced age. However, adolescents perceive their elders as older people even before they reach the age in question, and this, by observing a simple detail. Because according to Generation Z, very focused on new technologies that are constantly developing, certain everyday objects are unmistakable. Besides, if you have a particular accessory, you can say goodbye to your “trendy” image.
It all depends on your daily habits, and in particular on your way of shopping or storing your personal documents. Indeed, the younger generation (for the most part) uses their smartphone for practically everything. Young adults generally pay for their purchases via an application, use Apple Pay, PayPal, Google Pay, but also online pools for joint gifts, or the Lydia app to share a bill… For them, this digital wallet makes automatically the purses and other very outdated wallets. “Millennials, apparently there’s a new way to age and it’s by having a wallet”explained Liz June, a mother-to-be living in Miami, on TikTok.
So, those who carry cash, coins, and all types of cards in their wallets are, in the eyes of young people, a little outdated. Information that has gone viral. Several humorous and parody videos were subsequently shared on social networks. In conclusion, this practical accessory, which many of us use on a daily basis, could soon be classified as vintage objects. So, are you more of a “digital wallet team” or an old-fashioned one?
