Actually, I think less than half are over 30. That's the really weird thing about Sonic Youth - maybe it's the name - they continually seem to attract younger fans. At the show I was at in Portland this summer, there was an 11 year old in the crowd, and Thurston embarrassedly (and yes tongue in cheekily) apologized for his "potty mouth". I was blown away by how many high school fans they continue to have. Where they come from, I have no idea. Obviously they didn't hear it on the radio, so maybe it was their parents?

I have personal experience with this, although I won't do a Murdochspace page myself, the last half of last year was weird because a bunch of people I hadn't been in touch with the since the 80's and 90's got in touch with me through mutual friends who are on myspace.
