How old are you?

[Gin N Tonic Jil]

Curious to see how old most of the fans on this site are. Ive read a lot of threads and notice that a lot of fans say they just got into Moz with YATQ. Which leads me to "assume" they must be teenagers.
So how old you?

[Uncleskinny]

I'm 39.

Male, 18 (and a half, I really am a teenager:p ) and began to listen to the Mozfather 2002/2003.

37, by the way. A little on the plus side for this board, but all good, no doubt. :cool:

[ella-reflex]

i am 23.

someone i use to live with introduced me to morrissey just after "you are the quarry" was released.

he was watching "the complete picture" one day and i joined him. when the video for "how soon is now started to play, i couldn't believe what i was hearing. this was a song that i never knew what the name was or who made it, but i always loved it.

i became a fan right then and there.

[BoyRacer]

33. Fan of the Smiths since the mid 80's, back when I had everything on cassette, and use to put a small length of "scotch" tape across the top of them on both sides in an effort to keep the song titles from wearing off of the tapes from continued play. The funny thing is my mum and pop use to make fun of "my" music. LOL

Fuck me, man, good to know there are 30's on this site. Seems like every other user is 17-19. Nice though.
Im 32 got into The Smiths in 88/89. I knew I was a fan when I stalked my sister til she left the house and then secretly got her Smiths tapes and made a mix tape of them on our dual cassette boom box/ghetto blaster. First song I instantly liked was WDDIM

Hello to all ...37 YRS and still counting

[Kuiper]

Let's compile all the Smiths/Morrissey songs that mention a specific age.

"Well I was 15, what could I know?" - Maladjusted
"16, clumsy, and shy" - Half a Person
"You are now 28 for Christ's sake" - Kitt

[Strange Fear]

He killed a policeman when he was 13 and somehow that really impressed me-I want the one i can't have

[Kuiper]

"Oh, though you're only 3, sonny boy" - The Hand That Rocks the Cradle
"He killed a policeman when he was 13" - I Want the One I Can't Have
"Well I was 15, what could I know?" - Maladjusted
"16, clumsy, and shy" - Half a Person
"You are now 28 for Christ's sake" - Kitt (edit, sorry, I called it Maladjusted by mistake and it, unfairly, didn't even end up on the album!)

There's got to be more out there...

I'm 20. Contemplating my 21st birthday in 2 weeks, and although I know I am still young, it will be a very emotional time. I know I will look back and think 21is young but i was distraught when i turned 15! I don't want a barrage of ppl telling me im lucky coz im this age, because I am middle age anyway, dunt matter how old i am!

Maybe my daughters wil join the board in, oh, 12 years or so. I sing them "Asleep" (I know, I know) and others at bedtime.

I reckon one of the more admirable qualities about Morrissey and The Smiths music is as a gawky teenager one feels there is a voice of comfort and empathy.

And as a gawky 20 or 30-something you really appreciate the irony and humour that are prevalent within most of the lyrics/ vocal quips.

Oh no -

I was cruising youtube (looking for Jake Gyllenhaal's performance on SNL) when I, er, accidentally ran into Morrissey on "The Tonight Show" with JOHNNY f****ng CARSON!

It looks like ancient history - like the Beatles on Ed Sullivan.

The Smiths are positively antedeluvian.

Still, if Morrissey feels like being Morrissey at 47 - if he's game enough to get up on stage and continue this drama, then I'm more than happy, at 41, to play along. Life is for the living, after all.

I read that article too. It was hillarious. But wasn't that one or two years ago? I guess now 20% of the haircuts are emo-fringes.

Yes, but CD-specialisten isn't a very good record shop anymore. It's all about the t-shirts now.
Unfortunately "Udda Ting" closed.. They sometimes had lovely things.

Yes the emo's are plentiful these days, have even seen hiphopers (50 cent style) convert to emos:( . The end is near!

I used to like BD very much. I got bored with them though, don't know why..

What!? Oh my, those Håkan fans I know know about that he's a large Moz fan (some week ago he said in GP that it was "Hatful Of Hollow" that made him begin to listen to music). Funny how his fan has managed to miss him. Too bad all of his covers are really bad. Well, it's up to Navid Modiri to save Göteborg's honour, don't you say;)

It's awful. I guess some of the Håkans fans i know are just into that swedish indiepop and doesn't care about any other music. It's just BD, Kent, Timo, and Marit.
Modiri's really good. I love when he sings "Jag åker spårvagn!" in "Min ofödde bror".

After spending Christmas devouring the CD with repeated listen after listen, I decided to do away with it (gave it away to a friend) and bought the individual albums, first The Smiths, then Morrissey. I've become a hardened devotee.

[Luiza]

Only sixteen, going to be seventeen in march...
Fan since 2005, when I decided to download one song, Panic.
When I realized, I already was adicted to Moz and The Smiths...

[Gin N Tonic Jil]

Almost 35, and discovered The Smiths in High School in the 80's. Saw my first Morrissey concert June 1, 1991, with the best concert being at the Santa Monica Civic November 4, 1991, three days after the ill-fated Pauly Pavilion show.

MEGA!!! Man, I was at the first ever Moz "Los Angeles" gig in Costa Mesa, Too in shock to even recall most of it. Then again at the second leg of the KU tour, at Pauley Pavillion, from the nosebleads, I made it all the way down to the front row. Almost got killed as fans fell on top of me, some guy reached out and pulled me up from the floor of the massive pit. Got my flight jacket stolen that night, as Id left it on my seat when Moz said it was ok to get up from our seats.:p I can laugh about it now but, at the time it was terrible.

Wow, you got into Smiths/Moz at the tender age of 2? :eek:

[Roy's Keen]

23 & 1/6

I'm charming man!!!

[markinmanc]

I'm 39, was mainly a Smiths fan, was into Moz's earlly stuff also. Now getting back into him again.

Am one of the older homo types complained about on here once iirc.

[!Viva Hate!]

Wow, you got into Smiths/Moz at the tender age of 2? :eek:

Try subtracting 1986 from 1989 once more...I think you'll get a different number...

You should get 3...but taking in consideration the birthday I was 4...not 2.

[!Viva Hate!]

My appearance, opinions, gender, sex and sexual perference are no concern to members of an Internet forum.

If none of that is no concern then why bother posting in this topic? Did you not read the title?

[Tomorrow]

Can you not read? Where did I mention I wasn't going to broadcast my age?

[darling]

I´m 33, fan since 88

[!Viva Hate!]

Can you not read? Where did I mention I wasn't going to broadcast my age?

The better question is are you retarded? Do you not remember typing this?

Obviously you are the one with reading problems...and to add onto that memory problems...but really I don't give a damn to know how old you are...

[Tomorrow]

I declared my age...I am old. Are you going to dispute this fact? I also said I will not declare anything else about myself. So what exactly is your problem here? Well you're not going to know anything about me, whether you can be bothered to find out or not.

They hardly asked what state of your life cycle you're in...they asked your age. Old is not an age...old is a state of being. I guess I was right, you ARE retarded. But like I said I don't care to know anything about you. I just find it annoying how you post and then refuse to properly answer the question the topic posed...

LOL!! YOU HAVE MADE MY DAY..XXX

[miss_bunbury]

Hello, I'm Emma and I'm 20 grand long years of age, I figured I could introduce myself on this thread, I've been a Morrissey fan since the MEN gig, I was a casual fan before that night but thats when it all kind of made sense and I went a little mad. Anyway I've been reading for a little while so it's nice to introduce myself.

[Telepathic Surgeon]

I’m 15 , I’ve been listening to The Smiths since I was 3 because my dad used let me listen to The Smiths and The Doors stuff when mum went to work , only really got in to Morrissey when ‘Ringleader Of The Tormentors’ came out and have been gradually working my way back through the albums since, also I went to see him at the G-MEX on the 23rd with some friends its was better than the Flaming Lips which surprised me because there gigs are amazing.

[Salad Days]

23 years and counting . . .

[girl in a drab dress]

45...that feels old...but...on the up side, old enough to have been at the first Simths gig outside Manchester - 1983, Birmingham 'Fighting Cocks' - through to the first Morrissey Solo gig - 1988 Wolverhampton - and still counting...gigs that is - not years!

[slum mum 1974]

I'm 32 and only within the last year have i been introduced to the world of Morrissey, by a wonderful friend. I just wish i was introduced to Morrissey and The Smiths when i was a teenager. :)

[thewarroom]

Will be 18 on April the 20th (Everybody laugh, its 4-20 HAH HAH!). Been into Moz for a couple years.

[blameless]

44, been a fan since 1984 when a friend gave ma copy of HIG.

Shut your mouth, hound someone else shit features.

Yes I think you may well be the oldest, well done on surviving so long.

[Liama]

I'm 47, a fan since 1984 and proud of it! So don't worry :)

"young girl one day you will be old.... bit the thing is I love you now..."

[Midnight]

Turned 21 earlier this month, fan since 2002.

[Zenith Nadir]

49 next week. God I must be one of the oldest on this site!!:eek:

No, you're just the oldest who wrote down their age. :D

One of the greatest things about seeing Morrissey live, was the vast range of people he appeals to. There were people in the audience who weren't even thought of when Hand in Glove was released - Never mind Suedehead. And others who were old enough to have been at his first gig. If they were 18-30y/o then (some may have been older, no?), they're all be in their 40's and 50's by now. Don't most other music outfits have one or two neat little age demographic that their fans fit into?

Me, I'm voting 25-36, but' I'll soon be moving "up a level", in which case I'll be joining Grim's political movement. TQID was my first album. it came at a good time in my life.

[Hidden By Rags]

42 (holds head high) :D
First-generation Smiths/Morrissey fan.

[Diogo Neto]

29, going on 30'ssss been a fan since I was 16 when I was introduced to Smiths Louder than Bombs, and Morrissey Kill Uncle... it almost seems yesterday

[So Far Away]

I'm 32 and only within the last year have i been introduced to the world of Morrissey, by a wonderful friend. I just wish i was introduced to Morrissey and The Smiths when i was a teenager. :)

Hey, don't mean to be nosey, but is that you Pam? 'Cause if it is- it's Sophie from the G-MEX- sorry I just saw your location and your Signature and you said that it was one of your favourite songs when we were waiting outside and thought It Might be you :p if It's not then sorry.
But if it is- Hey Pam :) how you doing, will email you back as soon as my hotmail is working properly again.
But on topic, yeah I'm 15, been a fan for a few years- just got curious with Moz I guess, I suppose one of my teachers had an influence on me getting into him aswell as my uncle.

[hostertlady]

mosagirl, i was just gonna post, thought i was the oldest!! you stole my thunder!! now i am the second oldest.. xx

[!Viva Hate!]

Shut your mouth, hound someone else shit features.

Awwww...poor baby...it's hard to accept that you're an old retard.

[Viktor]

I like to say I have no age, but I'm probably the youngest one on the site. I keep my age to myself to avoid people using it against me in some formation. I will say that I have been a fan since I was around twelve years old.

[lux girl]

Not tellin' !

[fastpulseboy]

I'm 31
I first discovered morrissey in 1990

[WhatSheSaid]

I am 38, been a fan since I was 15.

I force my kids to listen though, their favourite song is Panic.

[steph]

I'm 34, and I've been a fan since about 1985.

[Kicksmeintheshowers]

38. I can't wait for Saturday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[louderthanbombs]

I'm 37 years old and I've been a fan since since I was 13 years old. I was a teenager in the 80s and I enjoyed listening to The Smiths, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Joy Division, Bauhaus, Depeche Mode, The Cure, Echo and the Bunnymen, and Tears for Fears. As a matter of fact, I still listen to these bands. Those were definitely some good times!

[gentle kind]

I am 35 and have been a fan since I was 14. Wow I've just worked out thats21 years, it's a long time isn't it especially when you still feel like a teenager.
PS I still look a teenager too - honest.

[ronnieglavin]

soon to be 43!
followed moz's career from around 1984 then onwards through thin and thick
enjoying being a fan now more than ever!

[thewarroom]

I tag this thread for the Jelly Beans (now accepting applicants-must be 16 years or older:p .)

[How Soon]

I'm 20, listened to Moz/Smiths since i was little cecause of my dad. The last 3/4 years however I've gone mad about him! crazyness.

My youngest 3 children (ages 7,5 & 3) all cite Moz as their second favourite artist after Girls Aloud. My eldest child has rejected Moz in favour of drum and bass. What can you do? I have tried my best.

May I now add that my aforementioned 'musical traitor child' has now redeemed himself somewhat as he has created this signature for me as he knows how hopelessly inept I am at anything technical. He is forgiven.

[Tottenham Tom]

I'm 35. A fan since Suedehead. I liked The Smiths a lot but then...I liked many, many bands in the early 80s. I noticed Morrissey more when his solo stuff started... it was like..."Oh, that's Morrissey fromThe Smiths isn't it?!!.... this is pretty good stuff..." Then I was off to Woolworths to buy The Smiths back catalogue and then the solo ones as they were released.

TT

[Strange Fear]

It's great how many of you have not stopped liking Moz after so many years. I know people who liked him for a while, but then just kind of blew him off, it's very dissapointing.

By the way this is Jelly Bean turf now.

I'll pickle fight you over it...

[nothingwrongwithme]

I'm 45 (that's very hard to say) and discovered Morrissey just before The Smiths broke up.
I don't think a day has gone by that I haven't listenend to Morrissey and his music is still giving me goosebumps. After all these years :)

I'm quite envious of new fans though, you have it all to discover... you won't be disappointed!

[Iansrose]

I'm 38 and will be 39 on March 2. Been a fan since I bought Meat is Murder in 1984 and the album made me go vegetarian the next year after that. Have many a memory of the tracks from The Queen is Dead being played at clubs in the late 80s. I wouldn't trade my memories as a teenager in the 80s for the world. ;)

[Practising Troublemaker]

I'm 16 and I have been a Smiths fan and Morrissey fan for ages. I was brought up on their music due my Dad's obsession. I am now the biggest fan in the family and easily the biggest in school by the looks of things. I wish I had been born to Morrissey as that would have been pretty cool, it turns out I was actually born to New Order's 'Blue Monday' which is still pretty nice:)

[cossy]

just turned 35...Viva Hate was my first introduction to Moz in 1988 and still as fanatical now nearly 20 years later...seen Moz is concert 19 times,,never ever a bad show


cossy:)

[Christine]

You should get 3...but taking in consideration the birthday I was 4...not 2.

I listened to moz when i was very young when i was listening to t-rex andloads of old 7 inchs.

Never really took an interest until the early 1990's

[durutti]

I'm thirty-one years old and a smiths/morrissey fan since '93 i suppose.

KI EGW, Golden Lights!!! Oraia den einai?!:D

Well with those experiences under your belt I truly believe you can justify your nickname!

[alsatian]

35... but concerning Moz I'm definitely still a teenager, my heart goes 120 bpm and I blush when I hear him on the radio! I play his music ervery day. I'm addicted to him :o
