The ILX user age average Poll

Seem to be missing a few geriatric brackets here

Yes, these poll options are pissing me off, a little.

voted "Under 20"

maybe you should have done it properly

like this: How old are you as of Jan 09, 2008?

Fora, dude, it's fora.

19

Tough one. Voted "31-35" but I love "21-25" as well.

This poll is unfair to 41-year-olds.

age ain't nothing but a number..

Is this some focus-group shit for a marketing survey?

ha, I hope not.

Between 21 and 25

but just to be sure I decided to make a poll

^^^ young and naive

ILM 21-30, ILE 25-30 judging by the "what do you look like" thread. Since 2001, I think ILM became less "indie", i.e., it grew up.

20

only the U20's are being sincere here

27

so you're under 20 then, louis? heart on your sleeve and all that.

louis j@gger is actually lol years old

I'm the only (plausible) choice that you can't vote for.

23.

No 50, no credibility.

26 - 30 ftw

The WDYLL threads are hardly a good indication as they are a totally self-selecting subgroup.

Could it be old people are too shy or sensible to put their pictures online?

Or could it be that only young folks are insecure enough to have to broadcast their self images to the world?

I only just fit into one of these "demographics". Only just.

or too lazy. also, don't own digital camera = lol, u old!

23

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

22

22 going on 23

30 on saturday, fucking hell.

youngster. it gets better after 30, believe me.

it's my birthday today but i ain't tellin

30 on saturday, fucking hell.

Thirties are great, I'm tellin' ya.

Could it be old people are too shy or sensible to put their pictures online?

Whoa, who are ya callin' old, baby?

It's not that I think 30's old, Grimly and Susan, I'm just a)slightly incredulous that it's come around so fast and b) slightly regretful that I haven't done more with my life thus far.

(i think 30s 's young :) (seriously, tho)

a)slightly incredulous that it's come around so fast and b) slightly regretful that I haven't done more with my life thus far.

I understand that. Although I'm much happier now than in my twenties I am making a concerted effort at life changes to be sure that I'm not in the same exact place when I hit my mid-forties. Years seem to fly by the older you get.

This poll is unfair to 41-year-olds.

I thought the same thing.

oh ya 41-year-old whippersnappers - geddoverit! :)

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

219 votes!

pretty great mix

Yeah I didn't catch it before, but I see now that a person who is actually 41 would not be able to truthfully vote in this poll as they aren't included in any of the choices.

Well I just assumed that at 41 you're too busy handling your mid-life crisis to care about any sort of forums or polls.

my posting here IS handling my mid-life crisis

But seriously, I think the poll was indeed unfair to people over 41. I should have topped the poll at 'over 50', I just thought that there weren't many ILX under 20 or over 40 to keep dissecting the demographic.

27-30: 68
23-26: 48
31-34: 46
19-22: 29
35-38: 23
39-42: 20
43-46: 13
47-50: 5
over 50: 3
15-18: 2
joeks: 10

ilx is so young now. Did all the original old farts leave?

Except the number of over-30s and under-30s is almost the same. There's like 7 votes difference.

... which doesn't negate kerr's point, if what's happened is the mean age has decreased. (i don't know whether it has; i don't remember a time when ILX felt noticably dominated by older posters, but i'm a relative newcomer, i guess.)

This is a thread for ILXORS IN THEIR 50's

how many under 25 NOT from the US or Canada?

i'm not allowed to post about myself coz it gets me suggest banned apparently

but lol srsly i think KING BOY PATO is the shining beacon here

also WILTER might be 23-24

KBP must be over 25

Hey, age doesn't matter, we can ALL be assholes about music taste!
