I'm 22 and I've been a fan since I was 19. Got Substance for my birthday and it started from there!

I've been a major fan for about a year now, but I bought P,C&L quite a time ago (like in the late 90's). So the Process to come a fan was a very long and though road to walk on my case.

Better this way. New Order/Joy Division takes about 80% of all the music I listen these days :)

I'm seventeen and have been a fan since last year, and I will be a fan forever; I wonder if in a couple of decades a poll like this would exist so I could see how many new people will become fans in the future.

I'm 20 turning 21 in two months, i've been a fan since I can remember. I was exposed to New Order when I was like 4 or 5, yes I can still remember, and have loved the band since.

What happened to the 50+ button? Joy Division live! I saw Hendrix, the Doors , the Velvets, and Bowie when he was still wearing dresses. "I was very, very, drunk at the time." Eh, what was the question again?

41 im ashamed to say. first got into jd in 78 when i saw transmission in the local record shop (slipped disc in chorley)oddly enough it was the sleeve on the 7 inch that sold it,all spacey crab nebulea stuff. back in them days you could get em to play it in shop before u buy,the girl behind the counter thought it was on 33 instead of 45 rpm coz of ians voice. i also passed up a chance to see them at preston warehouse which i still kick myself about to this day. loved j.d still love n.o what more can i say.

Turning 38 this year. Scary. Feel 21 but a little tired. Discovered NO in the summer of 1983 when someone left a tape with The Beach, recorded from college radio station, in my ghetto blaster (that's what we called them back in those days). Been addicted ever since.

So technically a member of the Blue Monday Generation even though The Beach was the first NO song I ever heard.

Oddly enough, I remember being in a study room at the University of Iowa and saw the lyrics of LWTUA on the wall. This many have been in 1982. I was not privileged to hear JD until late 1984.

25, turnin' 26 next month. Look like 18, think like 10 and have sex like 5. I've been a NO/JD fan since I met this site, where I can say what I think without someone say "f... off, yo moron!"

Thought I'd better vote now as in a couple of weeks I'll be just another statistic in the ever growing 30+ category.

Ho-hum...

Well I'm 36 but I'm more like 25 with quite a lot of practice.

I've been a New Order fan since I heard Everythings gone green which seems so long ago I can't remember. It was one of those black round things (tires?) vinyl.

Don't worry, I turn 35 next year and will republish the poll so I don't look so old. At the same time I can add a "nearly dead" category. :)
