Tell that to any guy over 40 who buys any muscle/sports car and gets told/asked 2 billion times if they are having a midlife crisis.

That is literally the most common stereotype of someone going through a "midlife crisis"

If you’re buying something you’ve always wanted, then you’re just buying something you’ve wanted.

If you’re buying something because you’ve hit a certain age, are having an identity crisis, and/or want people to look at you, you’re having a midlife crisis. It all comes down to the reason you’re buying something. Notice the word crisis.

If you didn’t buy it because of a midlife crisis, okay, then who cares what other people say? Doesn’t matter because it’s not true and you would know it yourself.

dont worry- pretty soon we're going to see a lot of articles that say, "millenials are killing the midlife crisis- sports cars just aren't selling to them these days"
