How old are you? Data needed for poll

pjdami

Hi everybody. The "what you do for a living" thread was very interesting. Just curious as to what different levels of age groups we have here at Club Polk. We seem to all come from diverse backgrounds. The great "melting pot" we all love as the USA.

I'm 34. Missed being born in the 60's by a few days. 1970 was the year I was born. I think Troy and Mantis are my age as well. I saw that Loud and Clear was 35.

Don't need to post you age with name but I would appreciate a vote in the poll.

Let's see what the histogram looks like.

thanks,
Paul

Dangit! I messed up the 50 year old one. If you are 50 please vote on the 46 - 50 option.

You are as old as you feel..right now I'm Seventy. Last night I was Twenty One. In between I'm Forty Seven.

Very nice program to determine and the present the results.

A+

Yeah. I'm curious as to if we are going to get a typical bell curve or a more flat curve. Or does interest in audio peak in the teens and 20s and then roll off. It will be interesting to see how the interest in music has progressed in the decades even though this is really just a very small sample of what the actual results should look like. But it does give us an idea of the demography for Club Polk.

I would say.. without any data to back it up. that interests in audio (high end audio anyways) peaks in your 30's and 40's. once you've had time to settle into a nice comfortable career and have a little extra $$ to spend on the finer things in life. like electronics.

I've always been interested in audio.. but didn't get into the higher end stuff till i was in my mid 30's. in my 20's i didn't have much expendable cash to play with. not that i have that much now. but it's a little easier to pick and choose and be able to actually be able to afford it.. within reason of course.

Mentally 21 ???

You mean you haven't learned anything in the last 30+ years !!!

You're kidding right ?

ninerbj

41 here. Still waiting for puberty.

madmax

Wow! Look at that curve!

ninerbj

Nice boost on the midrange!

GZ

Wannabie,
Yeah, I've learned alot in my years. It's just that I think young. I know people my age that actually think like 52 (old farts). I mean I don't go aroung mooning people anymore, but I still think it's funny.

PolkWannabie

Ahhh ... I hear that ...

Same here, I was born on 26th, which day was you born?.

PolkThug

July 17th. Few Crabs here I see.

If you had added the ages below 15 this thing would be a near perfect bell curve. Interesting....the prof in prob and stats DID know what he was talking about...

pjdami

Yeah. Maybe I should have ditched the 60+ one and put a 10 - 14 years old in there. I had to start at 15 to allow our resident aspiring audiophile Sid a chance to vote.

Looks like danger boy's theory is holding up so far. Makes sense to me.

If they are too young, they shouldn't be on this forum. There should be an age limit, as some of its content is questionable at times. It currently does not exist.

30.......yay

27 here....

22, 23 next month. I was born the exact same day President Reagan was shot--March 30, 1981.

near perfect bell curve

Bell would be proud! But what happens after 55?

Gulp! I'm 48 now. Does that mean I've got to give it up in 7 years? Or maybe worse........................:eek:

Either you die....or you buy a Bose Acoustimass system...you decide which is worse...

thehalo8

26 over here....

Shack ...

Acoustimass ? ... Hmmm, that does sound like some form of cancerous tumor, but I can't imagine that it actually grows on you, regardless of how old you get.

pjdami

87 votes so far. Good to see some 50+ people still enjoying music and music forums. I hope to be there some day with you guys.

Okay we have 20,000 Club Polk members. Come on and vote people! You lurkers out there you know who you are.

And you hear claims that polks are for old people....looks like the majority are in the 26-30 young group.

42 on Feb 19th.

Kinda scewing to the young side now...

Clearly there should be more fellow baby boomers here than have voted so far.
