As kind of an offshoot from this topic, I also think the whole "fandom is for people in their teens and early 20s" thing is a concept that only really came in to being in the last decade or so. I remember when I was first starting to lurk around fandom (when I was 12 or 13, I'm 25 now), it seemed like there was kind of a mid 20s to 40s majority, and people younger than that were kind of seen as outliers/early adopters.

But now it seemed like it kind of flipped, and anyone over 30 is seen as some kind of long-haul fan or something.

Probably because 12 years ago teens didn't go on the Internet the way they are today. The Internet was still in its infancy back then and you really had to make an effort to interact in fandom. It didn't just fall in your lap the way Tumblr does.

Yeah, I've noticed that, too, around the late 1990's.

Agreed. I started in fandom when I was 15 in 1998, and I was definitely one of the younger ones. Most were between 22 and 40 and my fandom had more men than women. It was about the accessibility of the internet then. Now everyone and their dog has the internet, the demographic has changed, which kinda makes me sad as the content has also changed.
