Do/Would you care if your faves were much younger/older than you?

Does it make a difference?

Quote from xx-jenn-xx

Probably for some people as I'm well out of the norm for age, but it doesn't for me. Aespa are more my daughter's age and BTS are a bunch of twenty somethings. Age shouldn't have anything to do with being a fan, just as long as you enjoy the music.

That's a really good attitude. If you're in it for the music and enjoying the performances, why would it matter? Do people care how old opera singers are or ballet dancers? As long as they have the talent and ability, nothing else should matter .

you mean you're older than 83 liner? sweet we need more oldies around this place we can talk about our wheelchairs and canes!

you'd be suprised at how "kids" treat us for being into kpop....we get age shamed a shit ton

That's such a stupid attitude and surprising considering how many young fans get in a tizzy whenever they're described as a young teen fanbase. On the old akp there was a thread in the lounge specifically for fans 25 and up.

It doesn't bother me. Although at some point I'm just like "this is my child now."

I've been listening to a lot of T01 lately and they're soooo young. This guy is their maknae at 19, but he seems even younger. I just want to feed him soup and make him put on a jacket before he leaves the house lol.

Also, he's hella extra and cracks me up

Quote from xx-jenn-xx

yeah we also had the old folks home lol. it's sad because they personally have accused me of horrible things just for most of my faves being 4th gen and how they are in their 20's mostly etc and since i'm 38 it's so horrible and bad and i'm this and i'm that. *rolls eyes* I don't bias anyone under 21 and i don't stan any groups that's mostly made up of minors. I like everything from 2nd-4th gen, mostly 4th gen as their music appeals to my tastes more. but yeah back in old akp when the purge happened i was called several degrading things just because I enjoy kpop. as i said i enjoy music and sure i have biases, and i have favorite groups, doesn't mean shit i'm not committing a crime.

That's awful. I'm sorry you went through that.

Quote from ViWinters

k-pop idols who are like super young (less than 18) lowkey freak me out a bit. i listen to western pop with young singers (Olivia Rodrigo, etc,) but it's considerably less stressful/cutthroat and they have a lot more control over their lives. idk maybe that's a bad take but it's my stance on it. otherwise, old age doesn't matter to me tbh.

No, I get. I wish that the industry would hold off on debuting idols until they're 18. It's not because I have a problem being a fan of a teen's music, but because I think the industry can be detrimental to a younger person.

Quote from Nakayuki

Joey Alexander is my favorite jazz musician, he was only 12 when he gets grammy nominee. And my favorite classic music musicians basically already no longer in this world. So what's the difference? If you enjoy mostly their music and performance, doesn't matter their age or even they're alive or not.

I'm a fan of Donald O'Connor. Legend.
