New Order Fan - Age Group Poll

Don't know if this counts but my son is well into them. Admittedly he's not much choice in our house but he can sing along to most of it and I keep finding my CDs in his room. He's nearly 9 and is pleading to be taken to the next live outing.

MMMM My sons are into them too ..trouble is they're 17 and 15 so that makes me oldest so far at just a few weeks younger than Hooky.

Your all to old!Do they have space for your zimmer frames at the gigs? Im only 16, and suprisingly my m8s arnt in2 JD/NO, more like Linkin Park, e.t.c infact sometimes it feeels like im the only one in the world with musical taste :(

Maybe you'll learn how to spell when you get older ! ;)

i'm 28 and i've noticed that i can't get out of a chair the same way i used to be able to. i also spot a gaggle of teenagers and catch myself saying 'kids these days...'.

good lord. i even found a long grey hair growing from my chin the other week! (plucked it, of course)

been a NO fan since age 12, so i was a young-un.

I can spell perfectly well thankyou, if you dont know how to read txt speak, then, keep up old man.

I've been 26 for about a week and a half. I've been a New Order fan for god knows how long. Finally discovered Joy Division in the mid 90's (I'm a bit slow). Yay for me.

Check Two. "You're" not "your" and "surprisingly" not "suprisingly". "Thank you" is also two words :)

i'm 22, but feel about 42.

DITTO!!!!!

Here I am thanks for remembering me...and i'm 41 and have been a fan since PC&L. Did do 2 polls, the first around this time last year and at that time we were around 28 yrs young, add a year, 29, but yeah, with so many new ones, it would be interesting to see if we have aged or not. If we get enough responding would be glad to get the results.

YOU WERE BORN IN 1983? JUMPIN' JESUS ON A POGO STICK! excuse me while i go put on my depends 'undergarments' and rinse my dentures....

i'm going through a hardcore phase right now where i freak out when i meet a sentient being who was born in the 1980s.

as i have friends who were born in the '80s, it annoys them to no end when i sit there and stare at them in the pub, with my mouth wide open, after imbibing several beers, when i've reached that 'contemplative' stage of the evening....

why so surprised?

i knew you were 19, i just start feeling my own mortality. i still feel 12! and 1983 seems like not so long ago--the legwarmers and the headbands...could have been last week.

Absolutely! Young people these days have no respect!

I got my zimmer frame out this morning and had my two kids dancing to Prime 5-8-6 for around 15 minutes. Even got the neigbours kid in on the act. I expect a royalty cheque from New Order of course (securing their pensions in years to come).

Me too, age is weird, but better than the alternative. Ask any dead person! Another compensation is that we oldies tend to have loads of early vinyl stuff. Now show some respect Leslie, and pass the digestives.

22 here, fan since I was 17.

Cheers ALEX

A proud 30, and a fan since my older brother forced headpones over my 9-year-old ears to listen to Still. CTB

27,...been a fan since I regularly heard "Regret" and "World" on the radio here in the states (those days will never be seen again) and started buying some of their back catalog...first heard of the band back when "True Faith" was released and I was only 11. I thought it was a great song, but I rarely heard it and thought I would never hear of the group again. Luckily, I was wrong on that last point!

Anyone have any Werther's originals?

Werther's play havoc with my dentures, as does Thornton's Special Toffee. You just can't beat a choc or plain digestive, dunked in tea/coffee naturally, proper comfort food. That's why I never have any in the house........

Hmm, guess I'm a sprightly 20 then! Not for long, i'm 21 on the 1st of Jan...nooooo. Actually i've decided to be 20b. That sounds far better... Look,look, this is you lot: hehe! just kidding!

I'm only a wee nipper of 18 years but I actually got into new order by accident! I started listening to joy division nearly two years ago when I bought "closer" after downloading a few mp3s. I had only got into them as Nine Inch Nails did a cover of "Dead Souls" but I had always been aware of "Love Will Tear Us Apart". Then about 8 months later, my mate left CD1 of New Order's "Substance" in a CD case of mine when I was at a party. I stuck it on to have a listen. Knowing that they were the remnants of Joy Division I knew that it would take something special to convince me. He didn't get it back until a couple of weeks ago! Since then, New Order have steadily grown to become a main feature in my cd rack and player. The only thing that lets them down is their tendency to be a bit weak on the lyrical side but with infectious melodies, beats and riffs they are hardly deserving of such criticism. You can't be brilliant at everything!

P.S. VOTE CEREMONY FOR BEST SONG!( actually, all the songs are brilliant bar true faith - just make sure it doesn't win)

I'm 16 and have been a NewOrder fan for as long as I can remember. Ooh yes, now it's time for me to bask in some nostalgia.

*Basking*

Anyway, yes... I'm 16.

35 but felt like 55 at the Lancashire Cricket club gig in the summer after jumping around for an hour and a half! Nice to see some of you teens getting into New Order though, the legends will live on.

I thought that at least 50% of ppl here are over 40. Guess i was wrong.

41.....fan since 1980.

cobweb eyes or woteva ur real name is, does it reeeeealy matter if i spell right or not? if i get the message across, who cares?! i do a levels in philosphy, english Literature, Medievil history and media studies, and god damn it, i spell prescisely in them, the internet is my way of letting go and not watching my spelling, OK!!

im 18, i first saw Joy Division on the Something Else show doing 'Shes lost control', on this "John Peel night" [anyone remember that?] on BBC 2 a few years ago, and ive been a fan ever since.
