I'm 15, born in 1994... my parents weren't huge fans, they just had the "hits" cd no. 2. But after Prince's superbowl performance I wanted more, found that cd, (that looked as though it had been opened once). The first track was "Controversy" and I knew after the first thirty seconds I was going to love this whole album, and I did. 300-something songs later, I'm still a fan. My parents don't approve, (turned out the cd was a gift from someone) but I remind them that there are a lot worse things I could be doing than listening to Prince.

I'm 13, beat that biggrin

I'm 19, got into Prince seriously around the Musicology Era when I was 12/13. Lurked on here since then, got an account about 2.5 years ago and I go through phases of being active in discussions. Don't know anyone else my age into Prince aside from the popular singles and such confused

I like chattin' it up with the old folks/seasoned listeners around here though. Beats listening to people my age argue over whichever diva they're stanning over at the moment.

Kinda strange, kinda awesome.

They invented the word "stan" as a way of describing obsessed fans because of the Eminem video, lol.

How could they have invented it if they took it from Eminem?

HipHop forums were most likely the first places to use that term with regularity. Thats where I first came across its usage.

I'm 20 going on 21. I first became a Prince fan in 2007 when i saw him at the 02. On August 17th, he simply blown me away. After that i went 6 more times to the 02 arena to see him in his 21 nights tour. I even went to the 20th 3121 Aftershow where he didnt perform. I also luckily got to attend the final show which was awesome. I've seen him at Arras recently which to be frank i wasn't impressed with, but he is my favourite musician of all time. His the reason i'm learned to play my purple axe smile

P.S. I live near the 02 so it sucks to keep going past it as i have such fond memories of 2007.

Peace and lots of love

They, as far as I know, invented the context - to use "stan" as a noun and verb. I've only ever heard the term there (and now here), as well.

When I brought the Controversy album many years ago I knew I was going to love his music. It's fun to read how the young fans got turned on to Prince. You make a point with your parents. I'd prefer kids listening to Prince over most of the manufactured acts out today.

Wow, well im 15 and turning 16 next month. I've been a Prince fan ever since i could talk/sing, which was around 3. My friends were listening to Destiny's Child, Britney Spears, and Justin Timberlake. And i was singing Purple Rain and When Doves Cry. I've been a fan ever since i can remember. && i will always stay a fan... no matter what! smile

I have been a fan of Prince since last year of April, now i am 17 years old. i know is hard because at school no one is a big fan as i am. they are all a Michael Jackson since he died, but before MJ died they were all to rap like that lil wayne crap music.
