As a 52 year old that has been skateboarding since the 1970's I take great offense with anyone that tries to gatekeep skateboarding. Skateboards are always cool.

Stop complaining... Oh wait
I think it's all about perspective. Say the Patty Cake one. A 30 year old doesn't seem "cool" doing it according to the chart. But a 30 year old who sits down with a 5 year old and does it... That kid thinks they are pretty cool.
Tony??
I actually had a picture with Tony Hawk from when I was ~11. I ran across him at the airport and I made my mom take.our picture.

I've been skating since 1986. The first time someone asked me if I was too old for it was in 1987. That question is really only in the eye of the beholder.
Being at the bottom of the half pipe isn't cool though.

If a 100 yo is still living alone he is metal as fuck. If a 100yo is breathing he is already cool, anything they do is already a win
Henry Kissinger...
There's nothing cool about having to live alone because the person you been married to for 50+ years died and you can't bring yourself to meet soemone else out of heartache, even after 10 or 20 years.
It is pretty cool though if you do manage to meet someone else, when you're 90 and now you're popping viagra like candy.
Depends if they're just wasting away alone or still active and healthy.

FYI (because I had to look it up) Juuling is just vaping with a smaller type of vape....
like, say, a Juul?
Sure but I don't vape so the only thing Juul means to me is Yule....
I was just teasing :)
Juul is pronounced like jool or maybe jewel. I can see how non-americans can misinterpret that though

Skateboarding is never anything but maximum coolness at any age.
(Seeing the birthday spike.)
Nice.
That half-pipe in the graph looks very tempting. I can't wait until I'm 80 so I can be a cool skateboarder again.
Best infographic ever, I know what to do with my life now.
Drop in, let's go
Juuling?
people can afford to live alone?
I did for about two months before COVID, then immediately needed a roommate to afford to live again.
I'm 62. I retired in January. In February, my 30-year marriage ended. I'm living alone for the first time in decades, and I never really did it very long before (a few years in my late 20s. It's very strange. at this age.
Wow—that is a lot of major life events crammed into 2025. Be nice to yourself. Often.

I disagree with the "complaining about young people" line having coolness increase proportionally with age: when I was a young adult, I often joked about kids these days in a way that seemed to get a lot of laughs. The humour was in the fact that I was a young person talking about young people as if I wasn't one of them (and beneath that was me making light of the text that, likely due to being autistic, I have always felt isolated from my peer group).
Anyway, I got good at leveraging this for humour, but as I aged, the joke potential expired: I was too old for there to be any irony in saying "kids these days", but not old enough for it to be cool to complain about young people.
On the bright side, I am sufficiently old to be able to torment young people by misusing their slang. It's most likely effective if you use the slang in a mostly right way, so I enjoy the challenge of needing to actually understand correct usage of new slang. Amusingly, studying current slang as an outsider is a skill I'm well versed in, given that I had to do this even when I was young.
Those were the days. Skateboard competitions, scouring the streets and malls at 3 am. This was my board. Custom design by Wee Willy Winkles in Canada.
Here is me back in the day riding it.

If you're able to live on your own over the age of 90, you're killing it.
Yea, needs a new upswing at 70 for "living alone" like, it's potentially sad, but just being able to live on your own gets more impressive the older someone is
