Demographics Era: How old are you? (Poll reset and updated)
- Thread starter Rivenblade
- Start date
I'm 38. Trust me, it doesn't take long before you'll be like me, wondering why everyone else is so goddamn young.
Johnny Hates Jazz and Get Out of My Dreams and Into My Car were topping the charts
By most metrics that aren't elite gymnastics, your body is at its peak. Fully matured brain, aging is only starting to show effects.
I turned two in 1990... can't say :)
I'm far more familiar with the 90s.
35, like most of Era it seems. I always had a feeling that the forum leaned a little old, but the poll results are a little surprising all the same.
Fucking hell this community has got old. When I joined GAF at about 13 I swear it was mostly older teenagers and University students. Or maybe I was projecting? I'm 21 now.
Now that I think about it a full demographic survey would be interesting.

Wouldn't be surprised if you took the same poll in gaming section , majority will be under 30 while
Majority in OT are over 30

Turning 33 in a few months. I was surprised at first to see that most people here are in my age group. I guess Internet forums (as opposed to social media & Reddit) are more of an older man/woman's domain nowadays.
Plus like people said, there's a lot of refugees from the old site, most of whom probably joined there in their 20s (like I did...over 10 years ago).

That's not true. Even many in the 40+ range weren't alive when the first console came out (1972).
Joined GAF when I was 18, now I'm 32. I've always felt like I was the same age as everyone g else and I think that is close to true. This is the type of forum where people just stick around.
Having used forums and message boards since I was 11 it feels strange no longer being the youngest. Still pretty young though, early 20 something gang we in here.
It also seems there is quite the amount of new, younger users as well ( if we assume this poll is representative). Generally seems like Era is somewhat balanced, with 30 seeming to be the median (if not average) age
It's a shame younger people don't use the forum format. Way more organized and detailed, without the wet farts of crazy relatives sharing horrible memes.
41. I'm quite surprised at the numbers. Thought I was old and crusty for this site. Not so much.
We were kids in the 80s and teenagers in the 90s. It was dope.
Oops, sorry about that, I edited the poll really quickly as the thread had been live for awhile. The wording is corrected now <3.
