Is age-fluidity a new concept?

Age-fluidity refers to the idea that an individual's age is not fixed and can change over time. While this may seem like a new concept, it has actually been present in many cultures throughout history. In some cultures, age is viewed more fluidly and is not tied to a specific number of years but rather to life experiences and wisdom gained. In modern Western society, however, the concept of age has been closely tied to chronological age, leading to ageism and limiting opportunities for individuals who may not fit societal expectations based on their age. The popularity of age-fluidity as a concept may be seen as a response to these cultural norms.
