A bit of a demographic survey... if we can draw conclusions, maybe we can explore whether ProgRock is also gender-related.

OK - I'm a woman and over 40. We're quite few here (I've counted five so far), but that doesn't bother me at all.

Im 15 and have been into prog since I was 10. Genesis and King Crimson started my prog addiction!

However, I heard Supertramp when I was 4 and Jean-Michel Jarre since I was 9, and they're still my favorite artists.

Hi and welcome, BestFreak, this is what you're looking for:

http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=703&am p;PN=1

It used to be different. When the forum was just launched, I was one of the only youngsters (I'm 19 years old myself), and the majority was over 40 years old.

Thanx, Joren... didn't know this poll was done before... and I really think the results are quite interesting, with the majority (at that time) being quite young... I guess it might have been related to internet-literacy??? In that case, the results this time may differ.

It's not just "at that time", BestFreak. The poll has been open and running since!

No problem, BestFreak, just use the "quote" button that you can find in the right top corner of every post.

I fall in the 31-35 age bracket, but I've had an appreciation for prog since about age 13.

I started with The Moodies around 13 and then Dark Side around 14. I'm 15 right now.

I would say that my tastesin music are GREATLY effected by my dad and mom's music, if it weren't for them, I would be listening to this MTV/Radio crap that everyone else my age listens to.

I am 46, the correct age iif you want to have been there when it all happened (1972-73 I mean). It is the taste that you acquire in your teens that you often bring with you. And when that taste is prog, it is quality lane all the way!!!
