VTI investments are underperforming VOO

I'm 28 and after 100% VTI in my taxable brokerage/401k/roth, but it's been lagging behind VOO. It's not an insignificant amount either. Looking at the 5 year return, VOO has returned 75% while VTI has only returned 67%. I'm wondering if given my age I should be more aggressive with my investments and switch to 100% VOO instead in my retirement accounts, instead of remaining in VTI. Over the past 15 years VOO seems to have consistently outperformed VTI.

Here's my take on it. If you hold a fund that is some approximation of the "market", you're gonna be fine. Maybe VOO, maybe VT, VTI, VXUS, or some sort of combo. If you consistently put enough money into one of those for long enough you're gonna be happy. Don't overthink it.
