I've noticed a difference between people in fandom who are still in school or in lower-end jobs* and the ones with careers. I don't know if it's because fandom is a cheap hobby and people with careers have more money to spend on other things, or because being older is correlated with having a career and the older you are the fewer fucks you have to give about inconsequential stuff like fandom.

*long version: y'all know someone in their late 20s working a dead end retail job and living in their parents' basement with no life aspirations past paying for the next con/DVD boxset/figurine/etc.

I don't agree.

I'd argue that sports is just as inconsequential (though both the sports and the entertainment industries are billion dollar businesses) and I've seen plenty of older fans clearly giving all the fucks. People get upset at the (non)decoration of coffee cups. I think some people just like creating drama. I would agree that more younger fans seem prone to it and some do grow out of it, but some really, really don't.
