How old do you have to be to become a brony?

[14griffin 1]

my friends and i were debating on if you had to be an adult or not to be a brony

so can anypony clear that up for me? please.

[TomokoKuroki 1,707]

Hello there! And welcome to our fourms!

 

I hope you have a wonderful stay, and that you get to meet everypony!

 

Oh, and no, you do not indeed need to be an adult to be a brony. There are many bronies and pegasisters here who are still teenagers. (One of the youngest I have met on here is one of my sisters who is 13 if that helps)

[cuteycindyhoney 13,283]

Oh, I was thinking that "The Age of Bronies" was something like "The Age of Aquarius"

 

Peace love and Ponies! Check the video in the spoiler tag! It has an Alicorn in it at the fifty second point!

A brother is a brother, whether a little brother or a big brother.

[FLARE 951]

I guess to be a brony you must be older than what the shows aimed age group is, and that is 0-12...I think, but that's what I was told.

[Swordfishtrombone 384]

Nonsense! If anyone can be a fan and know the meaning behind it, then they can use the term. Love and tolerate.

[RippedOffMattress 314]

Most people say you'd have to be 18 or older to be a brony. But I, and a lot of others think different.

It doesn't matter what age, or gender you are. As long as not only do you like MLP, but if you're wiling to join the community too. Then you are a brony in my book!

I echo the thought expressed already, my understanding was anyone older than 13 who likes the show. Those within the target demo...I dunno, guess they are just "fans" or "cool kids" or something.

[Yellow Diamond 7,564]

Like cuteycindyhoney, I thought this thread was going to propose some sort of major turning point in history where bronies would impact cultural and society in a significant manner. I was clearly mistaken.

 

To the best of my understanding, there is no age requirement to be a brony. The term "brony" originally referred to fans, usually male, who were outside of the target demographic. That definition still applies, but I think it can be extended to younger viewers who might actually be within the intended audience.

This is what i've heard to, though never found the target audience age group sadly. I think though if you go by how people see you on the internet, if you have ANYTHING to do with MLP:FiM you'll be labeled as a brony.

[JhonHipster 124]

the dfinition of brony is "a male between the ages 13 and 45 who watches my little pony" so yeah, you dont have to be an adult

[Luurilka 325]

according to most definitions, a brony is anyone who watches MLP and/or participates i it's fandom that is outside of it's target demographic.

 

Being a teenager is not an adult, but still outside of MLP's target demographic.

 

So, no you don't have to be an adult to be a brony.

[Arylett Charnoa 4,919]

I think that you have to be a male to be a brony, regardless of age. Since the phrase refers to an underground movement on the internet of people who like the show and are completely outside of its demographic. Males, young and old, are NOT expected to be part of its demographic.

 

Yes, I know, there are those who think it is gender neutral. To me, such makes little sense. But to each their own.

[Daring Do 195]

There is no limit to age, nor gender, from what some fandoms think. Though people may think that it only pertains to males, many people have debated over the name Pegasisters, but in the end decided that the name Brony should be unisex. Well, of course, that is for some fandoms, which I agree to. Also, there have already been plenty of people of different ages that declared themselves bronies, which puts no age limit.

The song I posted fits very well, I thought.

Hi everypony! How old do I have to be to declare myself a Brony? Becouse I'm 14 years old and I'm VERY obssessed with MLP, but I don't know, am I too young to be a Brony.

[uoǝƃunp ɹǝpıds ǝɥʇ 7]

Same here. I'm pretty sure you can be any age at all really because as far as I know, there's no limit to the minimum or maximum age to be a brony.

[Luurilka 325]

A brony is someone who watches and/or participates in the fandom of MLP that is outside of it's original target demographic.

I'm rather sure that 14 year olds are outside of the original target demographic.

So yes, you are a brony.

[Gingerpotato 889]

37 years old with about 5 months, 17 days, 11 hours, 13 minutes and 7 seconds.

 

Only then may you be classified as a brony.

 

I'm just goofing, I'm guessing that any age over the recommended seven year old age would classify you as a brony but I'd say that you have to be about ten years old to understand the fandom/the shows effect on the older audience properly. Basically, you're a brony as long as you are over the recommended age, in my eyes of course since I'm sure people have different ideas on brony classification.

[sirgiggety 3]

1 second old!

[Lily Sapphire 65]

There is no age requirement for being a brony! If you love MLP, you're a brony!

[FedoraMemes 582]

If you are older than the target demograph, you should consider yourself a brony.

[KakeiTheWolf 652]

Traditionally, 13+ and male is considered brony. This is due to the target demographic being 6-12 year old girls.
