Seeing ppl in their 20s saying unc to another 20 y/o is wild. I'm 38 and still haven't achieved true unc status

Unc was used as a sign of respect or endearment to a older person. (40s & older) Now the internet is calling people in their 20s and early 30s Unc. 😵💫

To use a fashion analogy, they used to wear our clothes after it was already out of style. Nowadays, they wear our shirts as jeans and our jeans as hats.
