Birthdays, wrinkles and expanding midsections were already enough to make us Gen Xers feel old, but then AARP magazine decided to really drive home the point that the Angel of Death is coming for us by slapping Luke Perry’s (still very dreamy!) face on their cover.

This caused Gen Xers across the internet to lose their damn minds.

@AARP You just made a whole generation of people who thought they were still young very depressed

Luke Perry (aka Dylan on 90210) is on the cover of AARP. What’s next? Macaulay Culkin selling Lipitor? #Timeflies https://t.co/96eWBEx4g5

Luke Perry is on the cover of AARP. I’ll just be over here sobbing into my Metamucil.

But don’t let the fact that yes, the space-time continuum has cracked and you are now living in a world where Dylan McKay is somehow older than Jim and Cindy Walsh be the only fact that makes you feel busted and decrepit. Here are five little nuggets of cold, harsh truth that should also do the trick.

1.) Snopp Dogg is a grandfather

2.) This meme

3.) The naked swimming baby from the cover of Nirvana’s “Nevermind” album, now looks like this:

And at 25 he’s older than Kurt Cobain was when “Nevermind” was first released.

4.) The show “Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen X”

5.) And last but not least— your social media feed use to look like this…

But now, friends who had children early in life, post pics of their kids going to prom and (OMFG) graduating from high school!
