I think this is a sign of me getting old (1 Viewer)

[Horizonshard]

36... those were good years to me. They now seem so far in the past, like another life, totally.

My 30s have been good to me so far. Hitting my stride in life.

You are over 36? Thanks. Now I'm feeling not misplaced here anymore.

I'm 58. Only one user around here is older than me, and only for 3 months.

I'm impressed. I'm in my 40s and I thought I'd be the oldest member here. It's great to meet another member that is a bit older than the typical K-Pop listener.

he's not really a K-pop listener, he listens more to J-alt bands like Passcode

Well, it's always possible that a new user registers that is older. So long as I know, I'm among the oldest, and I never think that any new user older than me could register.

Is it weird that I was relieved to find people who are my age and older here?

 

[Myth]

oh I still see some that take coins. Guess it's not surprising newer ones don't tho.

Nope. I was registered at a German music forum before and after I told people that I also started to listen to K-Pop, some members told me that I'm too old for listening to 'Teenager Music'. Some members even assumed that I just listen to K-Pop because of all the young Asian girls in the MVs. To be honest, I felt like an old lecher in these moments. After the atmosphere got more and more 'toxic', I completely left this community and never looked back.

To be honest: Then I came here (after a short stop at AKP) and I was ambivalent about this community. The members here are so likeable, but so young. We all know these stories about older man trying to pick up Teenager girls and boys in internet forums. I do not want give the impression that I'm one of this pervs. An older man listening to K-Pop and being part of a K-Pop community is unusual especially in the Western world. Nowadays you need to be careful anyway, because there are people that tend to get things wrong and quote statements out of context.

They don’t take coins anymore?!

Very true, sometimes I'm super paranoid.

I was a bit apprehensive about revealing my age on here, but now that I know I'm not the oldest (I'm 44) I don't feel so bad.

Me too.

 

[Michael]

I'm glad that my presence here has put some users more at ease.
