coś się źle zestarzało

‘something that happened’, was said in the past in a specific context, and is now interpreted differently’; ‘something whose meaning has changed due to later events.’

An example of something that “aged poorly” is the statement by Stuu saying he likes the number 12 (“I like the number 12!”); see YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/I_xmtIZxfeg This example is related to the biggest scandal in recent years in Polish internet history, namely the pedophile scandal known as Pandoragate and the YouTuber Stuu’s (Stuart Burton: https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuart_Burton) fondness for interactions with underage girls. Subsequent events caused Stuu’s favorite number (twelve) to appear in a completely different context than originally intended: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/I_xmtIZxfeg

Another example of a statement that has “aged poorly” is the phrase: “she was 10 years old,” associated with the song “Ona miała 10 lat” (She Was 10 Years Old) [“Ona miała 10 lat, Teraz oglądam świat zza krat, Chciałem dobrać się do majt i wmawiam, że to żart…”; see e.g., https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bhd6cd4BYEA],, which is linked to the Pandoragate pedophile scandal and events involving popular YouTubers, members of Team X, Stuu (including the mentioned Stuart Burton https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V997VX3NIBo) and Leksiu https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ni2syBfdy4s, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCuV0jtlWYA.
