In 97 I spoke with four indivilduals while we waited in line for a show in San Jose, CA. We all talked about our Prince experiences and how long we had been fans. The one thing that struck me was that we all were 27 years old at the time. Prince has definitly made his mark with one certain generation that's for sure. Nice job, btw.

Thank you wink.

In the end we received 764 detailed responses to the Questions. I am hoping to repeat the Survey, maybe next year and see if we can break the 1000 barrier and also to see how opinions may have changed. Phase Two, for example, may not be in the hands of everyone yet.

Nice work -- by the age data, I'd say hardcore fans over 50 are heavily underrepresented, probably because they spend less time on the internet.

The "How long have you been a Prince fan" data, with 73% having been a fan for at least 25 years, while 75% are between 31 and 49, seems to indicate that a whole lot of youse are about to join me in the over 50 club.

Hi, Thanks for your Question. I just checked it and it does add to 100%. You might have just seen the first screen, the second screen goes on to detail the rest of the reponses.

I loved how varying the answers were and that they weren't all 70-80%. Thank God we aren't a monolithic bunch; makes discussions exciting. Thanks for the survey! Was fun! biggrin

It varified what I've always thought... Fans tend to overrate what they REALLY think about The Rainbow Children.

I must admit I did find that interesting. From the discussions about the Rainbow Children I have seen, whilst it was a divisive album, it seem to be rated very highly by a number of people. I must admit before the results I had a feeling that it would be higher than it was. But as you say, maybe a lot of people also feel very differently about it.

That must be it, I only saw the first screen.

This was a great survey and probably the first fresh one since Peach and Black did a great survey back in 2010. Jayspud, thanks for the hard work, it was no small effort.

.

Amazed so many fans are clamped in between 31 and 49, just like surveys on the org show the average age was 41 in 2013 and 2014, usually meaning the fan was 12 or 13 when they discovered Purple Rain in 1984, and there was not much leeway either side.

The length of fandom too, is proof that most Prince fans are extremely loyal, and that when you make a commitment to Prince, u make it 4 life!

Got some kind of love for you, and I don't even know your name

Thanks for the comments, really truly appreciated wink

AdoreCream - You make an interesting point, there is actually a theory that people tend to have a 'magic age' for forming tastes around music etc which is usually described as being at around 14. (Which is ironically exactly the age I first found Prince's music!).

Absolute proof I am immature! I was 15 and a half when I got into Prince, although I was 13/14 when I started getting into other acts like Milli Vanilli, Ice T and MC Hammer, so taste was not developed until 15/16.

.

I got into Michael Jackson much earlier, but not really a SERIOUS fan until the time of Dangerous, with Prince, it was love and obsession straight away.

Got some kind of love for you, and I don't even know your name

Is there a link to the results?

This seems to need flash and I don't have it installed.
