I'd like to see data regarding the average age of fans over time and how that connects to their popularity. If most fans are in their late teens and early twenties when they start becoming fans, that could be an indicator of stardom as those same fans grow older, get jobs, and are able to afford being "superfans." For example, I was a teenager when U2's Achtung Baby was released and I've been a U2 superfan ever since. I've paid exorbitant amounts of money to see them live. My youngest sister was born in 1989, same year as Taylor Swift, and has followed her since they were both 16. My sis is the same age as TS now and can afford to follow her across country for her concerts, thus contributing to her stardom. Could you put together some data like that?
Another U2 superfan here (Hi!)since I saw "Gloria" on MTV in, what, 1984 or so,I get the longingevity of her popularity, as her core fan base has literally grown up with her. I've grown up with U2.

This is a great thought but I can’t imagine how you’d get that data or if it even exists
