I aggree. These young physical reality deniers are likely to find a long life quite a shock. Cosmetic surgeries and certain procedures only go so far.

Aging means change. The article below mentions some of the changes. Individual experience will vary depending on past physical stress or trauma, and genetics. (I miss the plump, bone protecting fat pads at the balls of my feet, sit bones, and finger tips)

Edit This PBS/FastForward episode shows younger adults "experiencing" being older.

Follow four millennials and their parents as they travel through time wearing an MIT-produced “aging empathy suit” and working with professional make-up artists to navigate the realizations, conversations and mindset required to age successfully.

Yes, this. I got distracted because I’m so sickened by the plastic surgery hype, but I do want to add that we are probably going to see the younger gen go on a completely transhumanist warpath. They’re going to want bionic bodies, or digital worlds, without time or age.

And I also want to say that this is not separate from transgenderism, the trans movement is just laying the groundwork of how much we mess with people’s bodies and how socially acceptable the denial of reality is.
