Not what I said or meant... I'm not passing judgment, I'm glad people of all ages like the band, and Bloc Party may be the exception that proves the rule. I'm just saying that when there is a large percentage of under-21 fans at a show it typically points to airplay on MTV or the radio.
If that makes me sound old, well... okay... I guess I am. I've been going to shows for a long time, and a general observation of mine is that when there is a noticeably large contingent of young people at a show, there has been a concurrent "buzz" on MTV, in Rolling Stone, the radio, etc.
That doesn't mean young people are stupid, unhip, corporate-rock-zombies, or anything of the like. Just an observation. Sheesh.
