Hawks 03.30.19	Dewi you’re in your fuckin 40’s??? Lol I thought you were like 20.
JayEnder 03.30.19	21 here. The worst time in a person’s life! Early 20s are marvelous aren’t they.
Dewinged 03.30.19	Still got hair and the mentality of a 12 year old, Hawks.
Papa Universe 03.30.19	an interesting demographic, more 40+ than 30+ (so far)
JLR2DEG 03.30.19	Late 40's
heck 03.30.19	the teens and doof being 40+ explain a lot I'm bout 25
DoofDoof 03.30.19	technically I'm not 40+ but I'm certain it still explains a lot

Divaman 03.30.19	Add me to the geezers.
Trifolium 03.30.19	"an interesting demographic, more 40+ than 30+ (so far)" Yeah, didn't see that coming.
GhandhiLion 03.30.19	Last year of being an avant teen
Papa Universe 03.30.19	Diva, you're in the 40+ lane, correct?
Jethro42 03.30.19	Phew, I went unnoticed!
ArsMoriendi 03.30.19	How old are you Jethro?
hal1ax 03.30.19	haha ghandi you're 19? i thought u were like 40 dude wtf
hal1ax 03.30.19	you have serious old man vibes
Trifolium 03.30.19	Agreed, thought so too hahaha
Divaman 03.30.19	Fripp, I always pictured you as another wizened old graybeard! Congrats on the youth, my friend. Yes, Papa, although as I always tell everyone, I'm really immature.
Jethro42 03.30.19	omg someone asked me ;/
GhandhiLion 03.30.19	@hal1ax Lol wdym old man vibes? Also, wtf you are 30? You like Bladee. That's...respectable actually. But not common I would imagine.
GhandhiLion 03.30.19	I am actually flattered you think I am older. I think I have the writing style of a 13 year old.
Wildcardbitchesss 03.30.19	21
oWhoadYo 03.30.19	22, going to be 23 in May
Papa Universe 03.30.19	What is it with this place that teens are mistaken for 40 year olds and vice versa?
GhandhiLion 03.30.19	lul which boomers are often mistaken?
Jethro42 03.30.19	I don't fit in that list. Enough said.
ArsMoriendi 03.30.19	Actually, people in their 40s are Gen X'ers, not Boomers. Boomers are supposedly at least in their late 50s now With that said terms like Boomer, Gen X'er and Millenial are stupid, but yeah
GhandhiLion 03.30.19	IK^ but the term has basically mutated now because of over misuse. Also memes.
brainmelter 03.30.19	haha ghandi you're 19? i thought u were like 40 dude wtf[2]
FirstStrikeIsDeadly 03.30.19	I'm in my early 20s, though I was still in high school when I first opened my account here. Kinda shows with the quality of my earliest reviews...
hal1ax 03.30.19	haha i do like bladee :p
Ryus 03.30.19	lmaoo i rly thought ghandhi was like 40 im 18 btw
ArsMoriendi 03.30.19	Really? Ghandhi never came off as older to me
bbgames 03.30.19	20
Coast 03.30.19	40s+ [8]
Hawks 03.30.19	I’m with Ryus on this one lol.

budgie 03.30.19	&vomits&
hexfix93 03.30.19	28 (well, 29 in like a week or so).
teamster 03.30.19	Divaman - geezers ...yup agreed.
StrikeOfTheBeast 03.30.19	Aw you put me first! Thanks Papa! :) Drifter's only 16? Had no idea.
Divaman 03.30.19	Hey Papa, I'm getting lonely up there. Don't forget to add my friend Jethro to the mature gentlemen list.
budgie 03.30.19	"28 (well, 29 in like a week or so). " why does this sound so familiar
LOVEANDACCEPTANCE 03.30.19	19 still. no surprise there
Jethro42 03.31.19	Hey Papa; What Divaman said :)
Jethro42 03.31.19	For I'm a real dinosaur with a white beard. Ho ho ho!
Wildcardbitchesss 03.31.19	Sint there’s no fucking way we’re the same age
MrHarrison 03.31.19	I am currently 22 years of age.
Sinternet 03.31.19	how come?
butt. 03.31.19	Drifter is 16 wtf???????? 25 for the Butt
sixdegrees 03.31.19	23
TheSonomaDude 03.31.19	damn i always kinda figured sixdegrees was ageless, formless like water
butt. 03.31.19	that's how I feel about agentdeathbat. wait...no, 14. I'm feeling a strong 14.
Drifter 03.31.19	I thought everyone knew my age by now lol
Sinternet 03.31.19	as if it wasn't easy to tell anyway
hexfix93 03.31.19	"28 (well, 29 in like a week or so). " why does this sound so familiar Hm? I might've said something similar last year about turning 28, not sure what review thread it was but we were discussing bdays which incidentally also happened to be at the end of March. Maybe you were in that thread? Don't know lol
DoofDoof 03.31.19	The 40+’ers need some reinforcements Twig, Zak, Butcher (might be close?)
keza 03.31.19	I'm 24, lurked on here since I was probably 16 though!
Tundra 03.31.19	21 .
osmark86 03.31.19	32
Papa Universe 03.31.19	butcher is not 40
TwigTW 03.31.19	Yeah, you can put me in with the 40s+.
Jethro42 03.31.19	I know who is probably the Sputnik elder, but he hasn't showed up yet. He doesn't log in during the week-ends.
SymbolicInTime 03.31.19	21 atm
Papa Universe 03.31.19	zakalwe, teamster and theacademy are the oldest, if I recall correctly
Jethro42 03.31.19	hum...
StonedManatee 03.31.19	22 soon to be 23...
ArsMoriendi 03.31.19	Where’s Titan? Now he is old
TwigTW 03.31.19	Hum... [2]
Divaman 03.31.19	Ah, I was waiting for my old friend Twig to show up in the Geritol set. Welcome Twig. Zak definitely belongs here, although I wasn't aware that the academy was a candidate. I think butcher is one category back from us. Jethro, if you're talking about who I think you're talking about, I never realized it before, but it makes sense. I guess when we write about music, I just kind of think of all of us as eternally young.
GhandhiLion 03.31.19	Can I be 40 too? I'm age fluid.
Jethro42 03.31.19	Yes Divaman, we're talking about the same guy. I think he's the Sputnik's oldest, in all case, known by me. I'm going to talk to him about this list. He's comfortable with his age. hum...[3]
Papa Universe 03.31.19	butch is like 28 or so
Kurai 03.31.19	25 .
Frippertronics 03.31.19	"Fripp, I always pictured you as another wizened old graybeard!" beginning to feel like one, no doubt
Divaman 03.31.19	Not sure Butch is still with us. When they added the new staff and contributors, they took away his contributor's title without a prior warning. I saw him ask why, but I haven't seen him back here (at least under the butcherboy name) since. If he's here, he's either lurking, or posting under a alias.
Papa Universe 03.31.19	did they ever explain to him why he's been demoted?
deathschool 03.31.19	Can I change my answer?
Divaman 03.31.19	I don't know. They didn't do it publicly, but they might have privately. In any event, I haven't seen him here since.
Papa Universe 04.01.19	that it?
DungeonBoy 04.01.19	30s
guitarded_chuck 04.01.19	30
e210013 04.02.19	So, it seems that I'm a real dinosaur too, like Diva and Jethro, like the music I like most, the classic prog. Lol. I'm 60 and in the midle of this year 61. So, great respect for one of the grandfathers on Sputnik. Lol. So, put me in your list Papa.
osmark86 04.02.19	Good to see that our site is graced by the presence of the matured
osmark86 04.02.19	@papa: while I'm flattered you put me in the 20s demographic it's inaccurate as I'm 32
PyramidNoise 04.02.19	20s. About to turn 27.
Pheromone 04.02.19	acad is one of the oldest?? @ars always thought you were young(ish), but I think that's only down to seeing it somewhere
Pheromone 04.02.19	Also am 20 my dudes
zakalwe 04.02.19	People in their 60s on here turn, I feel like I should tone down the swearing. I’m 39 but throw me in with the 40 mob.
NorthernSkylark 04.02.19	just turned 30
JayEnder 04.02.19	All hail the Sputnik godfather e210013.
zakalwe 04.02.19	Probably a KILL alt
e210013 04.02.19	Thanks Jay and Zak. But we must kiss the ring of Diva since he his the oldest, the real godfather here. Lol.
Davil667 04.02.19	The internet can be a deceiving bitch for sure. Never expected Diva to be in his sixties... Makes me feel young again :]
e210013 04.02.19	Absolutely. Me neither. I always thought it was me.
Demon of the Fall 04.02.19	32. Not too surprised by the distribution thus far i.e. mostly 20s. Maybe expected more teens than 40+ I suppose, although it's dead level and this is a small sample size.
zakalwe 04.02.19	If I was in the mid twenties bracket I’d say something like “Do people over 60 even use the internet to do anything other than book cruises?”
DoofDoof 04.02.19	all my parents do now is book cruises and moan about not having any cash/the mortgage paid off yet - so accurate
e210013 04.02.19	I never used the internet to book cruises, really. I prefer use it to music sites and to book normal vacations, like spend all day walking to check all the places I want.
osmark86 04.02.19	bitching about the mortgage or the housing market in general is as natural as discussing the weather
TwigTW 04.02.19	I was just Googling cruises last week, lol . . . Oh wait, that's not funny.
osmark86 04.02.19	the only cruises we book in Sweden are the ones to and fro Finland, Gotland or Åland. it's essentially a cruise for middle-aged singles and young drunkards, so I tend to stay clear of such ventures.
NorthernSkylark 04.02.19	Here it never snowed. Afterwards it did
DoofDoof 04.02.19	people moaning about money when they are taking five or six luxury holidays a year, equaling about four months on a cruise liner, is something I'm having to adapt to but I'm pretty sure it is totally normal, bless the fvckers
Pheromone 04.02.19	What do you older kids do for a living
zakalwe 04.02.19	I turn into my dad as each and every day passes. As much as you fight it and think you’re different it hits you like a bolt between the eyes. You are your parents. It’s classic.
Tunaboy45 04.02.19	I'm already getting there zak, it's fucking bizarre
osmark86 04.02.19	pretty much, it's inevitable.
osmark86 04.02.19	which makes you wonder why the fuck teens need to rebel
DoofDoof 04.02.19	Phero - something that involves being very close to the internet. In the office now and this place is dead, they're rolling out home working on a massive scale, so four hours of work and four hours 'being online and available' (so surfing online, pref while listening to moosic) for the foreseeable. I do actually have work I should be doing right now, but no meetings today so a good day.
osmark86 04.02.19	@phero: IT stuff
JayEnder 04.02.19	@zak scarily true statement man. I even look more like my father as every day passes. I really don’t wanna end up like the guy though. Love him to death but he’s made some dumb choices in his life.
TwigTW 04.02.19	"If you haven't turned rebel by twenty you've got no heart; if you haven't turned establishment by thirty you've got no brains" ... or so the saying goes.
e210013 04.02.19	Agreed.
osmark86 04.02.19	sounds like conservative arrogance ;)
e210013 04.02.19	Yeah, but it's true.
TwigTW 04.02.19	Helped me feel a lot better when I turned 30 :-)
Pheromone 04.02.19	I’ve always thought the best part of those sorta jobs is the music listening
butt. 04.02.19	teens: LOVEANDACCEPTANCE no shit
Faenrir 04.02.19	36
osmark86 04.02.19	@Phero: oh for sure. most of the time it's just me, my computer and my headphones.
e210013 04.02.19	It's the same with me.
Jethro42 04.02.19	Welcome to the old men's bandwagon, e21, buddy. I knew you were a bit older than me, and recently I learned that Divaman was possibly the godfather of the site. Congrats dudes. Given i'm possibly the third - known - elder, so now I don't mind to give my age; I turn 56 in 11 days.
zakalwe 04.02.19	There’s a bit of understated, disciplined reserve with the elders not wanting to disclose everything to some faceless nobody across the digital void but retain some dignified privacy and self res.....oh wait Diva has just posted an anxiety thread.
neekafat 04.02.19	20 hoss
pjquinones747 04.02.19	24yo
Divaman 04.02.19	Yeah, I just posted a ... wait, what?
zakalwe 04.02.19	lol
Jethro42 04.02.19	The more we advance in age, the more we become discreet about it, especially on Sputnik. But there comes a favorable time to reveal that inoffensive fact. It's never too late.
Papa Universe 04.02.19	I have not been all that discreet about it. My pals here know me as 'that old fuck' and some call me 'dad'.
iglu 04.02.19	late 20s
treeman2STIFF 04.02.19	treeman is 24 or 32, depending on who you ask
SitarHero 04.02.19	Holy shit! Diva is in his sixties? I'm genuinely shocked!
e210013 04.02.19	Thanks, Jethro. But I'm not old. I feel very young in terms of my mind. And I'm sure that it's a common point with all seniors here.
Papa Universe 04.02.19	yeah, I have not matured a day in my life.
Jethro42 04.02.19	''My pals here know me as 'that old fuck' and some call me 'dad'.'' Me it's ''young man'' ...oh wait, it's from my dad.
Jethro42 04.02.19	@e21, I feel young in my mind, but for the rest...you know...
zakalwe 04.02.19	No matter how young or old we feel or actually are I think I speak for everybody when I say I’d trade me right bollock to be 17 again.
Papa Universe 04.02.19	Aren't you lucky, I know a fella who is missing two whole bollocks. I'm sure having at least one would ease his mind. His name's Dalton, heard he lives someplace midwest nowadays.
Jethro42 04.02.19	16yo, zak. The time I started to play drums. Big time!
TVC15 04.02.19	Currently teens but next month I will be in my twenties
Papa Universe 04.02.19	I'll put you in the 20s.
Divaman 04.02.19	You and me both, Sitar. It really doesn't feel like it. (Well, some days it feels like it physically. Not mentally, though.) Whoops, I just looked at some of the comments above, and I see that several others have already made this same point.
Spec 04.02.19	26
DoofDoof 04.02.19	I’m going to post an anxiety thread as I couldn’t find Diva’s anxiety thread and it triggered the pangs
CaimanJesus 04.02.19	19
SitarHero 04.02.19	But seriously Diva, I'm genuinely impressed that you and the other older guys on the site take the time to continue exploring and writing about music. m/
Divaman 04.02.19	Thanks Sitar. I have a brother-in-law who will tell you they stopped making good music in the mid-seventies (although he's starting to change his tune now that he's starting to take his daughter to concerts). I never wanted to be that guy. I still enjoy the music I loved when I was younger, but I get bored if I don't keep listening to new music too.
zakalwe 04.02.19	Diva would have been a teen when things were happening that would forever change the fabric of popular music. Even Elvis and The Beatles despite being past their best and in the case of the latter split would’ve still been part of the international consensus on a scale you brats can’t fathom. Things like that will stay with you if music is in the bones.
starboystargirl 04.02.19	im 62
Donchivo 04.02.19	I'm 37
osmark86 04.02.19	wanting to explore new music is something I'm sure will never fade for me either. good to see that our weird little community on the interwebs is composed of people from all ages.
e210013 04.02.19	I spend almost all my free time writing and listening about music. This is my personal therapy, really.
e210013 04.02.19	I know what are you talking about Jethro.
DDDeftoneDDD 04.02.19	3fuckin6 Next May 5th...uuuggh
TheIntruder 04.02.19	I'm 24.
Jethro42 04.02.19	@e21, yes I know you know amigo. @Intruder, Good age, you have all your life in front of you!
Divaman 04.03.19	I don't specifically remember the beginnings of Elvis and The Beatles -- they were already out there when I first started becoming musically aware. I can tell you that at the age where I received my first transistor radio, the #1 song at the time was The Monkees' "I'm a Believer", and the raging argument in my school at the time was whether The Monkees were better than The Beatles. (I was a Monkees kid, heh heh.)
dmathias52 04.03.19	22! Six weeks from graduation from undergrad.
KjSwantko 04.03.19	I'll be 30 in a couple months. So might as well go 30's.
SlothcoreSam 04.03.19	My ear hairs are white. And I'm 39
Papa Universe 04.03.19	all added up
Relinquished 04.03.19	30 represent
PyramidNoise 04.04.19	So it's confirmed, we're all 20 something hipsters.
Tchitcherine 04.04.19	I'm 23, next month 24
zakalwe 04.04.19	Born in May 1995? I would’ve been 15yrs old bowling round thinking I was Liam Gallagher. Good days.
Papa Universe 04.04.19	1995, in my 20s, saw Oasis live
zakalwe 04.04.19	Best time to see ‘em.
Papa Universe 04.04.19	literally 1994-1996 and never again
alamo 04.04.19	21, really looking forward for my birthday this year so i can jam taylor swift and lily allen
