I just don’t think it is needed to describe people of our age.

I have always thought “sprightly” was a complimentary description for a person of any age.
Why would anyone be offended by being described as “being full of youthful, vibrant energy” ?

I don’t think I’ve heard of the word before, so I wouldn’t have context to be offended. Reminds me of the soda (drink). But it sounds positive from the sound of it.
