Time for this board to admit it, it's 75% old fogeys. Being born in 1990 makes one 18 years old. Prime time of life for being hardcore into a young and vibrant music scene and going to lots of concerts and being right there in the pit for the experience (as opposed to trying to find a happy medium between proximity to the bar and best spot for sound quality).

i dont think the old folks on this board shy away from their gen-x-edness … and i'd say the board was much older a few years ago

i love matthew sweet, heard he's putting out a new album this year

I am proud of my Gen-X'ed-ness. Would much rather be associated with my generation than any before or after.

(Thank goodness I didn't come of age in the Kid Rock era)
