Older Bronies

[Jemboi 127]

MLP rightfully has a ton of young fans, but are there any bronies out there like myself who are of the older persuasion? I turned 31 in August and vividly remember watching G1 when I was a little boy in kindergarten. Just curious.

I'm almost 20 if that counts for anything. I think I've only meant one brony older than me and they were 26. God I feel old now, ah well.

[Apple Bloom 2,915]

I'm 24. I don't think we're "old" fans, we're just old compared to the amount of young people on this site. For some reason these forums seem to attract the younger end of the brony spectrum.

 

As for the old cartoons, I never watched them. In fact, I didn't even know there was a My Little Pony cartoon until FiM.

Off the top of my head, there's Zoop (27), me (25), and cutiecindyhoney, who I believe is in her 30's. There was also a user by the name of TwilightSparkle who was in his 30's early on, but he hasn't been on in ages.

[brian577 120]

28 if you count that as old. I do feel like we've been getting a lot of younger fans lately and it's making me feel like a senior compared to everyone else.

[Scootaloo Is Best Filly 576]

Ummm I am 18 years young if that counts as old.............................................What's that? I have to be honest? DARN IT!!!!!!!!!!

 

I am actually 29 1/2 years old with a Birthday coming up in December. This forum does tend to bring fourth a lot of younger Bronies. But there is no specific age that you have to stop being a Brony. I am probably gonna be a Brony my whole life. God I feel soooooo Old right now. Let me tell you this it's gonna be a sad day when I turn 30.

I was also wondering this! I'm 23, so I'm happy to see people older than me on here! Haha

 

I too will probably love MLP my whole life. Actually, I mostly watch childrens stuff (like Shrek, Ice Age etc) because I find adult films too depressing and serious! <3

I'm currently 30 years old. I'll turn 31 in January. I've always liked watching cartoons. There is just so much creativity jammed into so many of them. I also think I have a psychological predisposition for bright colours, which helps.

What do you mean by Adult films? It seems like that could be like a huge category. Do you mean like most Adam Sandler movies, or like Rated R movies? I have a very broad taste. I am dead serious I love watching kid movies and movies/shows designated for children. But, right after that I'd be watching Scar Face or a Horror movie or something like that. So, for me I guess I don't really watch most Children movies. Children Movies are just one of the many Genre's of movies I like, if that makes any sense.

my dad is on these forms (though hes currently taking a small break from them) ans hes in his 40's, i think that counts as old lol

Well, I mean like any 'serious' film. I like horror films, as long as they aren't gory. And I like adult comedies etc.

 

I don't like gory films, natural disaster films, or any serious films/dramas - there's enough of that crap in real life without spending my free time watching more of it! I prefer to watch happy films! <3

Wow i'm 18 and i thought that was old

 

I think early twenties is the age range which most bronies fall into, interestingly enough i remember making fun of ponies (not sure which generation) about 8-10 year's ago when some girl's had them in my primary school

[Kapi 213]

I'm 22, at least I don't feel alone! (I still feel old though, lol)

 

I've only ever seen any other gen a handful of times. I mostly remember MLP because of the jingle in the commercials, and the fact that my sister used to play with them! Ironically, I knew about the earlier gens pretty quickly after their release, but didn't know about FiM till a bit later (after Season 1 ended).

[Cranium Tyranus 216]

I'm 21 with a birthday in November, then I'll be 22. But it's still amazes me that so many generation of people, who grew up liking different things from stretch armstrongs, to the ninja turtles, to the cartoon cartoons, we all happen to like MLP: FiM, call me corny if you must, but I think there is something "magical" in that.

I'm a MATURE 12 year old cleverly disguised as a responsible adult! Psst-Cough~38~Cough I am also a HUGE fan of Pokemon too! lol.

[Winona the Dog 1,981]

Im 17

 

So I guess im too young to be watching this show apparently ha ha!

 

Though im not old (well erm...compared to you guys) im glad I can like something and not feel opressed by it.

[thor9356 540]

I'm 21 and looking back at past events can make you feel old. Hell I remember when toonami first came on the air back in 97 and I remember how big pokemon was in the late 90's. Damn I feel old.

[raynebodragonfly 0]

I think it is really cool that there is MALES of any age into this show/fandom. The people that judge you,make fun of you and taunt you for being a *BRONY* are the ones that need to grow up and get a life!

[Mephala 2,633]

I feel so young looking at you all, though I fall into the average age category *laughs*

But I don't think you have go be any age to enjoy ponies. It's a good show and it doesn't matter how old ya are.

How come? I actually thought it was cool when I turned 30. I still feel the same, look young, and am technically still a young man. I embrace my age fully. I've learned and become who I am today thanks to all those years that came before. Youth is awesome but I would never want to return to my teens or even early 20's, because I was so unsure of everything back then. I like being a confidant, pony lovin' adult.

[DashPony 359]

I'm 26. That counts as an "old brony" right?

 

I'm happy to see some older members here. With so many young people here on the forums, I feel out of place sometimes. Even though age doesn't really matter. You can never be too old for ponies

[MarkKB 32]

I'm 21, but I don't really feel it. If you'd ask me how old Jurassic Park was, the first number that leaps into my brain is 'eight years'. ^^;

 

My impression was that the majority of the base online was at least 19, but then my impressions might be skewed by the fanwork creators and BroNYcon attendees (from the EverFree videos of the sessions). It does make sense that the young'uns'd be getting into it as well.

You know all my parents think all the old people who use this sites must be pedophiles or homosexuals which is very Stereotypical of them i wish they'd understand that "Normal" people use this site too both young and old!

[Ylaena 21]

I'm 27. I watched the show a few times as a kid, but I didn't care for it. I loved my toys, though! My little brother and I would get all the ponies, dinosaurs and trolls and play in the sandbox. Good times...

[Demi 545]

I'm 21 myself.. I feel like a living, breathing fossil already.. and these forums just make it so much worse.

 

 

But remember what they say, you're only as young as you feel!
