What's the average age of a Prince fan?

In view of all the attention Prince gets on; Should he still do this or should he do that, and the comparisons between P's body, make-up, style and his age.....How old is the the average P fan base? I think it's relevent to the criticism he seems to be getting.

News: Prince pulls his head out his ass in the last moment.
Bad News: Prince wasted too much quality time doing so.

I think the kids are most vocal but they might not be the average age of true P fans. Chronological age doesn't determine or equate to understadning true funkiness. That might come with age and understanding of Funk. woot! :Funk: dancing jig

you don't see many youngsters at the shows though, i guess they are all at the Chris Brown or Ne-Yo concerts....so i would say 25-50??

Well I would guess that the majority of fans came out of the Purple Rain era, so maybe mid-30's and up?

It's hard to tell, because Prince's audience is so diverse.

I suspect the old-schoolers' kids are gonna skew these numbers. My 5 year old is a huge fan now. I, however, am 35.

So to add to the question, are we talking 1st generation fans, or the whole population?

Cheers.

I'm talking about the whole population who give input to the forums at prince.org. My guess on the average age is 30 something to mid 50's. The lifespan where people stop telling others how old they actually are. Which means I'll have alot of luck doing the math. I'm 51.

Cool that you shared your age! I wonder if those who made a comment and did not add their age, are emabarrassed of it?

I am 31.

This is a great thread! I've always wondered the age range of the orgers.

HELLO! I don't want opinion, I want statistics. Don't bother guessing based on who stands in line at a P concert or what age you THINK a Prince fan is. Give your age, I'll calculate it and get back to you. Hell, assuming P is a fan of himself, I'll throw him in the group. Right now with those clearly stating their age, the average is 32.6. With P it's up to 33.9.

Up to paisleyfreak, the median is 34.07. P and I are skewing the #'s. If anyone wants to check my data, I'm adding the total # of years of the group and dividing by the number of submissions.
