The ILX user age average Poll

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

After visiting other music forums I've found ILX has some of the most unique taste out there so I was curious what the average age for the forum was. I'm assuming most of the users are well over 30 based on the music taste but just to be sure I decided to make a poll. So then, what's your age?

Poll Results

Option	Votes
Between 26 and 30	49
Between 21 and 25	48
Between 31 and 35	43
Over 41	36
Between 36 and 40	28
Under 20	15

Seem to be missing a few geriatric brackets here

― Brad C., Friday, 17 October 2008 17:10 (eighteen years ago)

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

― Joe the C.R.E.E.P. Operative (Rock Hardy), Friday, 17 October 2008 17:14 (eighteen years ago)

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

― daavid, Friday, 17 October 2008 22:58 (eighteen years ago)

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.

― mmmm, Saturday, 18 October 2008 00:15 (eighteen years ago)

but just to be sure I decided to make a poll

― LJ OA UG IG SE RR (libcrypt), Saturday, 18 October 2008 00:23 (eighteen years ago)

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.

― Teddy Riley (The Reverend), Saturday, 18 October 2008 01:34 (eighteen years ago)

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

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.

Whoa, who are ya callin' old, baby?

― t**t, Wednesday, 22 October 2008 13:33 (eighteen years ago)

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.

― chap, Wednesday, 22 October 2008 13:36 (eighteen years ago)

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

― t**t, Wednesday, 22 October 2008 13:39 (eighteen years ago)

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.

― steampig67, Wednesday, 22 October 2008 15:31 (eighteen years ago)

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

― t**t, Wednesday, 22 October 2008 18:16 (eighteen years ago)

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

― System, Wednesday, 22 October 2008 23:01 (eighteen years ago)

219 votes!

― Bee OK, Wednesday, 22 October 2008 23:06 (eighteen years ago)

pretty great mix

― Annoying Display Name (blueski), Wednesday, 22 October 2008 23:13 (eighteen years ago)

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.

― Roasted Ghost (Bimble Is Still More Goth Than You), Thursday, 23 October 2008 01:53 (eighteen years ago)

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.

― Moka, Thursday, 23 October 2008 04:40 (eighteen years ago)

my posting here IS handling my mid-life crisis

― I REQUEST U PLEASE GIVE ME A GUESS PAPERS (PappaWheelie V), Thursday, 23 October 2008 04:40 (eighteen years ago)

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.

― Moka, Thursday, 23 October 2008 04:44 (eighteen years ago)

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?

― Pfunkboy Formerly Known As... (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 23 October 2008 09:05 (eighteen years ago)

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

― Matt DC, Thursday, 23 October 2008 09:09 (eighteen years ago)

... 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.)
