There's nothing bad about being a young Prince fan, that is if you're truly a fan of his music, and not living in a fantasy world, thinking about him sexually or anything, that's just weird. I'm talking about for example, a young teenager of 15 or more, thinking about Prince, a man who's 56, that's just gross! I'm a long time Prince fan, a couple years younger than Prince, and I have 2 young adult kids that like Prince's music also now, thanks to their mom's love of his music, but my daughter is not "in love" with him. She's knows he's no longer the young, sexy musician from Purple Rain, that was in his 20's. She knows he's old enough to be her father now, that's my point. Now this is just my opinion, but to me, these really young women that I see with these older celebs, are just in it for the fame and fortune that they can give them. I honestly don't think that they truly love these people, nor would they give them the time of day, if they were not rich and famous. Look at Mick Jagger and this young woman. Do you honestly think that she is with him because of his looks and sex appeal? lol Or, consider Hugh Hefner. Do you really think that any of the women that surround him, and marry him is because of his stunning good looks, and sexy body? lol I'm in my 50's, and there's not enough money or viagra in the world that would make me want Hefner! It's disgusting and disturbing! Now I know that Prince is still a good looking man, but he's getting older, not younger, and if you're a teen and you're thinking about him in a sexual way, to me, there's just something disturbing about that.

your post comes off as extremely judgemental and condescending. prince himself designed his image to be 'pure sex,' so it's misguided to act like a younger person can't have a crush on him. he's hot stuff!

Maybe a young one having sexual fantasies about him take it too far. Like we wouldnt want a 12 year old thinking about him that way. But thinking he is a sexy guy is natural because he just is.

And that photo proves my point, because how old is it, that's not Prince now! If I recall, that was a scene from Under the Cherry Moon, taken how many years ago? Yes, Prince is still sexy, but not as sexy as he was back then.

I'm not judging anyone, nor am I being condescending! I know that Prince designed his image to be sex and sexy, and of course young women can think of him that way, but I just think that many of them are listening to his songs of old, and picturing him in their minds as the same young man that he was when he made those songs, and starred in Purple Rain, and he's not! He's a 56 yr old man now, old enough to be some of those young girls father, perhaps grandfather, and that's just gross and weird!

I think this judge mental society just hates on prince because he's different so that's why you feel they say it's bad to be a prince fan. I'm 28 and my parents liked prince but I just knew he was my source of music at an early early age (as Elton John is with my dad) and I was teased so much growing up in the gangster rap era and again with the teen pop boy band years. One thing remained constant in my life was prince and his music. Now that's all those rappers and boy bands have come and gone, prince is still here making music I'm not allowed to hear lol, but u know what I mean.

Never feel bad for your preference. It makes you less like them and more like us, the individuals, the ones prince made his music for.

do you realize how insanely hypocrital you sound when you write the phrase "I'm not judging anyone" and then in the next breath call someone "gross and weird" and then tell them "seek help honey" because "u really could use it." do you understand that words actually have meanings?

Prince doesn't have anything for kids to listen to. His last album was 5 years ago and even then if you don't shop at Target you would never know as he did not promote it. Kids don't know who he is and the ones that do are hearing their parents play him and they have the same reaction we had as a kid listening to our parents music. Its so old that they dont want to hear it overall. Of course there will be a few who do but most will rebel and not like it because its our parents music. Its only natural and unless Prince does something to make himself relevant again in mainstream music it won't change. The kids can't like what is not out there. They don't want to hear 80s music. Its like us 80s babies listening to the 50s and 60s stuff as kids. Its just barf

I actually listen around with musical eras. The kids nowdays dont know music.
So I dont let it effect my love for Prince. If only society would stop telling people that old music is bad, We would have more prodigys.

Yea but most of those kids don't even know who prince is, which I found super annoying and really sad. Those of them that do know, only know purple rain, but it's sooooo much more than just purple rain, it's sad

What bothers me about (some of the) newbies, or "the young fans"...

They tend to love crappy albums like 3121, Planet Earth and 20Ten.

And they show no love for the classics like ATWIAD, Parade, SOTT and Lovesexy.

That is rather annoying to me... lol confused

I LOVE me some 3121, take it back! The album was great!

Parade,Purple Rain, Controversy and Emanctipation are my favorite albums.

I don't drift of to the 70's much. So I don't know alot about his history them.

I am not a fan of his songs in the 90's; but his style is great. So I hardly drift over to that part.

Sorry If your gonna bit my head off but I am not a BIG fan of SOTT.

I hadn't had a change to really listen; but the songs I've listened to sucked. So yeah.

Everybody seems to like it. So I'll give it another try.

My parents bought Musicology, they think its great; but I'd have to listen to that on my own time.

I just like Prince from the 80's and a lil from the 90's. I LOVE his music with 3rdeyegirll now.

I think the hate needs to stop with them. They are actually good!

I'm talking about for example, a young teenager of 15 or more, thinking about Prince, a man who's 56, that's just gross!

Not really, most people my age and younger probably like to fantasize about a certain era of his. Say, when he was 24 or whatever.

Even I can't imagine myself looking at Prince now and thinking 'dayum!' but in his younger years he was certainly something.

The time you've spent on the org sharing your lust for a man more than 4 decades your elder could be better spent listening to SOTT and any other classics you haven't had the time for yet, no?

wink

...in my not-so-humble opinion, of course. biggrin
