During the 2022 MTV VMAs, the Red Hot Chili Peppers put on a performance to honor their latest achievement — the Global Icon Award they received. But after the band performed, fans on Twitter couldn't help but notice the age gap between the performers and the audience.
After the Red Hot Chili Peppers performed their set, Taylor Swift and fellow celebrities could be seen giving the band a standing ovation. As Swift clapped, she quickly turned around and motioned for the celebrities behind her (who were still sitting) to stand and honor the band. And after seeing Swift having to encourage the younger fans to pay their respects, many fans on social media couldn't help but feel the same way at home. Posting the clip to Twitter, one fan wrote that Swift's actions exemplified, "People over 30 watching this Red Hot Chili Peppers performance." Adding to that, another fan said, "I feel old watching Red Hot Chili Peppers and knowing who they are."
But, while fans took to Twitter to note that many in the audience — and watching at home — didn't know the Red Hot Chili Peppers while they did, that didn't stop them from honoring their favorite band and their latest award. "The Red Hot Chili Peppers truly are ageless," one fan wrote, while another said, "Red Hot Chili Peppers wow what a performance."
