How would you define a "vintage" fandom?

[(Anonymous)]

Yesterday someone made a great suggestion of having a vintage fandom week for older fandoms, say, pre-2000. It made me curious. How would you define it? How old does a fandom have to be to be considered vintage?

Re: How would you define a "vintage" fandom?

I would define it as something that a) started before 1990 and b) stopped having any more canon spin-offs, etc, added to it before 2000.

That's interesting, because by that definition Star Trek might not count? Unless you were willing to consider each series its own separate fandom, which is reasonable. Ohhh, and Star Wars wouldn't count, either.

I wouldn't call Star Trek vintage, no, because of what you say. And the reboot. But Star Wars...hmmm. Well, I guess yeah, it's vintage.

... but the post-2000 sequels AND the planned JJ Abrams episode VII doesn't disqualify it?

ayrt

Oh yeah, I'm a moron. :)

Re: How would you define a "vintage" fandom?

Haha, no, I was just confused. Both those fandoms are tricky since they ran so long.

I don't think Star Trek in itself is a vintage fandom, but I'd say that TOS and TNG by themselves count.

I wouldn't define any fandom like that for another hundred years except maybe Star Trek and Sherlock Holmes.

The majority of fandom activity would have to predate the internet.

Re: How would you define a "vintage" fandom?

[intrigueing]

Anything whose fandom started before the rise of the internet.

I would say earlier than 1990 actually. 1990-2000 is kind of more like "out of fashion" fandoms rather than actual "vintage" fandoms.

A Team = vintage.

Fresh Prince of Bel-Air or Friends = meh, kind of old.
