what? why bittersweet? why can't older people enjoy any fandom they choose to? fandom is for everyone not just young people.

Stuff like that is so funny to me because I went to my very first convention back in 1999 when I was 14, and it was OVERWHELMINGLY older fans. My friends and I stood out for being as young as we where when everyone else there was in their 20s-30s or older.

These days I'm in my 40s and I'm constantly running into other fans my age or older at conventions. Fandom has always been full of older fans and anyone who thinks it hasn't been has simply been blind to reality.

This. The concept of fandom is not new, but every generation seems to think that fandom is just for young people. It's kind of funny, really.

Right? At my first con, there were people in their fucking 60s. I remember thinking, "...I could still be doing this 40-odd years from now?" And it was a wonderful thought! It made me excited for the future.

I don't get these young people who are like, "olds get out!" Do they not realize the future they're creating for themselves, a future in which they're obligated to give up what they enjoy?

Exactly! My friends' and my attitude is "We'll stop going to conventions when we stop having fun at conventions." Well, guess what hasn't happened yet?

[(Anonymous)]

Yep. I'm in my fifties and have been involved in fandom for more than thirty years. Fandom existed before the Internet.
