In regards to other people's ages in fandom.

under 18 is young for me

over 35 is old

(i'm 22 if that makes much of a difference.)

Ooh! I'm old! \o/

Young would probably be somewhere around 14-15. Old would be somewhere around 30 and up?

Young is under 18, old is over 60. *g*

I look at it by generations.

Boomer is "old"
Gen X is "older but not 'old'"
Millennial is "average"
Gen Z is "young"

Under 20 is young, over 45 is old.

Don't care unless it's glaringly obvious that they're much much younger or much much older than me.

I mean... I was a 14 year old in fandom once. I interacted with people who had to be 40-50+. I don't see why I can't extend young people the same courtesy and knowledge those old fen did.

My worry in those kinds of situations is not that people who are young as hell don't deserve courtesy. My anxiety is that my interactions with them are going to be somehow exploitative, or creepy, or weird on my part.

Under 20 is young. Over thirty is old. I'm almost thirty so ask me again in two years, then I'll change my answer.

Over 65 is old, under 30 is young, and under 20 is too damn young.

Yep. I'd drop the too damn young requirement to 18, personally.

Young is under 18.
Old is someone who watched Star Trek when it was first shown on TV.

Young is under 30. Old is over 60. Everything in between is middleish.

Hmm, I didn't start calling myself "middle-aged" until I hit 35, but I mostly agree with you.

Also, "old" can be a perspective issue to people in the "old" range. Mum's almost 70 and doesn't like being called "old".

To me it has a lot to do with attitude towards life, but if I'd have to slap numbers on it, under 25 is young and over 50 is old.

The older I get, the older "old" is. Currently over 70 is old (because my parents are close to 75 and don't act old at all. My mom could pass for mid 40s/early 50s and my dad's appeared the same age forever. A lot of older people I know seem similar).

Young - I don't know. It's more of a feeling. Sometimes people in college can feel young to me. That's probably the upper limit of "young" to me. Although, when I hear of anyone under 30 years old died for whatever reason, it always feels so young to me.

12 or less too young, 13 is even pushing it. There is no 'too old' for fandom for me. You want to join fandom at the age of 100? Go ahead and have fun. I don't care.

Young-16 and under.
Old-35 and over.
Not a big window, but I'm sure it'll expand as I get older.

14 is young.

35 is old.

I'm 23, which is getting up there in the ranks.

Inside fandom?

Young is below 18 - still in school.
Far too young is below 14.

Anything from 20-50 is just a random adult.

Old is over 60.

I will note: I am 37, a couple of months off 38. I once thought a lot of Fandom was older than me, when I was still in my early 20s, now I think most of Fandom is younger.

That's a tricky one. I feel like it's not unusual to have young people in fandom, especially now when the internet is so easy to use and readily available. Young would be anything 13 and below, though I feel kinda weird having debates with people under 18 in general, if I know what age they are. I'm more likely to treat them differently.

Old would be like...I dunno, 60.

young: under 18, then I feel like i have to watch what I say about a show.
old: Chip Delany (wonderfully so)

I'd say old, in fannish terms, is over 50.
Young is under 18.
