combustion07
01.26.21 | 4 and 5 look cool. Will jam. Yellow Eyes is killer and confirmed to be badass live. Their drummer has a nice grimace. I'm 27. I feel like the average age here is maybe somewhere in the early 20's. I think I was like 12 when I first joined though so hard to say tbh |
nightbringer
01.26.21 | My guess is that all such sites have an average age of less than 30, largely because it seems that after 30 most people stop actively investing in new music. |
Trifolium
01.26.21 | 30 and planning to stay active here for a long time to come.
I'd say the average age here would be around 24-ish or so. |
ChoccyPhilly
01.26.21 | tbh, most of us here are old heads, which definitely raises the avg age. When I first joined, there were so many students and high schoolers who were regular commenters |

JWT155
01.26.21 | My guess is that the average age is significantly higher then it was say 10 years ago. 10 years ago I'd say the average age was between 16 and 24, not I'd say it's between 24 and 32. I'm 30 myself. |
SteakByrnes
01.26.21 | 25 here, I'd say early-mid 20s is a safe bet for the average |

I'd assume the avg age (at least among active users) is probably as high as it's ever been since all the really young active users like from like five years ago (me, ryus, others I can't think of rn) have grown up a bit and haven't really been replaced by new 14-16 year olds to my knowledge lol. Feel like most new users are on the older side these days. |

This. I could very well be wrong, but there are a couple things that factor in:
1. This site carries a lot of its userbase with it, and a lot of the people who post are ones that have been here a few years already.
2. The genres of music that this site centers around are genres that are generally only sought out by people who grew up with them, and those genres are aging in terms of appeal to new fans. There aren't nearly as many gateway bands now as there were back in, say, 2006-2008 that would draw people to find similar music.
3. Plus...music discovery as a whole is just not a thing young people take pride in, unlike us older folks who remember when discovering an awesome new band took a bit more effort than simply clicking on the next song in your Spotify Discover Weekly playlist.
4. Music communities (and specialized internet communities as a whole) are largely a ghost of internet past thanks to Reddit, Amino, etc., so the only people who would be drawn to this site are those who can remember a time where that was the more common way to interact with people online.
5. This site LOOKS like a relic from the olden days of the internet, lol.
So all these things combine to make Sputnik's average age older than it used to be.
Oh...and I'm 33, by the way. I joined this site when I was 19. |
porcupinetheater
01.26.21 | Check back in a few decades. We’ll all be mid-stage dementia commenting nicer dicer on page 347 of The Moon Is a Dead World’s thread the way the older generations used to wind up confused in their underwear in a Citgo parking lot at 3am
See y’all there! |
ChoccyPhilly
01.26.21 | @masochit
On point 3 and 4, I completely agree sadly. As someone who just got on the spotify premium train it's not the same. People barely know what artists they like, just a song on X spotify playlist. Feel like I engage with music much less the more I use spotify even if I spend an equal amount of time consuming it. At least this site still exists |
