Fans (or at least stans on Gaga Daily) are not aging with Gaga as time passes

[Katie14 4,828]

I made an age thread on here a few days ago and it really bothers me that the average age on this site is around 17-20. I found an age poll from 2009 from the Gagadaily archives and the age breakdown was pretty much the same as it is now. The thing is, the fan base isn't getting older with time because fans seem grow out of stanning after the age of 21. So, when I started stanning when I was 19 in 2011, my age was average and now mostly everyone who was my age or older left.

I am in no way trying to offend or put down fans who are teenagers. Its just kind of upsetting to me because im 23 now and I feel like Im too old to be here. About 70% of this site is younger than me. I didn't even realize this or think about it until i made the poll the other day. I guess I knew that there were a lot of younger fans on here because of some of the immaturity I was seeing, but I didn't think there was such a huge young presence. I feel the same way as a highschooler would if they were hanging out with middle schoolers. I just feel embarassed and ashamed that I didn't grow out of stanning yet while mostly everyone else my age already has. I was always embarrassed of being an obsessed fan and being on this forum. I would never tell anyone in my real life how much of a fan I am. But I was never embarrassed because I thought I was too old. I just always thought it was weird to be obsessed with a celebrity at any age.

Anyway, how do fans who are my age or older feel about the huge young presence? Was there ever a period of time when the fan base was older? Are there any age polls from 2010-2013? For the fans who are younger than me, do you think you will still be here in a few years? Will the age range of stanning always be around 17-20 reguardless of how much time passes and how old Gaga gets?

well not a lot of 30 40 yr olds want to use this cult site

I will definitely still be here and stanning Gaga forever. It will never end

I dont think a poll on this website is necessarily an accurate representation of her actual fans. The younger crowd is more likely to use a site like this.

She has a lot of older fans they just dont use this website. Remember gaga was only 22 when she came out with just dance and her fans were already in their late 20s early 30s back then.

I can name about 10 members in their late 20s early 30s sis

That's a great thing though - the minute your fan base stagnates; that's when you get into trouble.

Sure, most older fans don't have the time or interest to be on an online forum discussing Gaga's daily outfits... But many of them still buy her music, watch her videos, go to her tours, ad infinitum.

i see your point though, but it's great that Gaga is appealing to the newer generations. Not only do they need her empowerment and passion; but they need to be introduced to good music

That's definitely true. I'm talking about obsessed fans though. Like, I am so obsessed that I couldn't be a fan without coming on this site.I would feel like I'm missing something.

​talking 'bout immaturity... as if that's what he meant.

teenage pseudo-moralism is all I encounter on here lately, currently expecting yet another such response from the person I quoted.
