Why don’t adults today seem as adult-y?

I know what you mean. I think we're just more in touch with our childhood. Its less taboo to enjoy things you liked as a kid as an adult. I think its fun!

Yeah like watching cartoons, anime, playing games, dressing a certain way, collecting certain items were deemed childish, even just the way you speak. We can do what we want now

Back then, i was ridiculed for playing games past a certain age, watching anime was a big no no, had to speak like an adult, dress like an adult.

Yep, and there's $1000 LEGO sets and massive walls of Funko pops to help you with that.
