"Trot fans in their 40s/50s are finding that they are at the perfect age for fandom activity with their children all raised and the time and financial freedom that comes with it. The older fandom displays exact similarities to younger fandoms with streaming songs, voting, buying presents, subway ads, renting cafes and theaters for events, etc"
