Age Of Our Lady Peace Fans?

NunoFreak · Post by **NunoFreak** » 8/18/2002, 7:55 pm

It seems like a majority of Our Lady Peace fans that I meet on here and on the 'Net in general, are under the age of 18. Does anyone else find this odd? I'm not saying this is a bad thing, but it's weird since OLP have deeper lyrics than most bands these days. I would say the average age of OLP fans that go to their concerts are 15 and 16. I have yet to meet a fan of OLP who is older than 23. Why don't we all post our ages just to see how well my theory pans out. I'm 23, next...

My brother's the one who got me into OLP, and he's 26.

I'm 15... And I've only been a fan since last summer.

I've been a fan since I was 16, when Naveed came out .. I'm 22 now, I'll be 23 next month. I've met some fans on other boards who are in their late 20's and I know there are some older fans on this board too. I don't think it's odd that most of the fans are under the age of 18 because I started listening to OLP when I was just 16 too, and I'm still a fan. Not that age matters though.

Well think about it .. Nuno you said you're 23 now .. but when did you start listening to them and become a fan? We're practically the same age and I got into them when I was 16 soooo .... the theory doesn't work cuz you gotta start being a fan at some point and their lyrics aren't so complex that you need to be in your 20's to understand or like them. So if WE got into them when we were 15-16 why is that different from the 15-16 year olds getting into them now?

i would hope people in their mid to late 20s would have better things to do than post on a messageboard all day.

hmm..I'll be 19 next month and I've liked OLP since Clumsy...so that's like...1997, so I was 13 or 14 when I first got into them. I think I was 13, cause it was 8th grade. But they really fit for me then, as they still do now. The lyrics weren't too hard to understand, and much of it dealt with feelings that I were experiencing at the time. OLP was easy for me to relate to so I don't think the fact I was young when I first liked them is that big of a deal. :mrgreen:

I've liked OLP since I heard clumsy on the radio..so about 1998ish. I guess I was like 14/15ish. I dunno, I can't add. :freak:

come to think of it, 12 is freaky young for becoming an olp fan, but whatever its been an awesome 4 years!
