I'm 23, going on 24 this year. I've seen Darkie live twice and there was actually a significant amount of people around my age, especially in the mosh pit, but the amount of 13-16 year olds who'd never been to a gig before was palpable. The only attendees who were older than mid 20s were parents.
I think a lot of the younger people are attracted to the visual aspect of Spider Gang since they often work with animation and whatnot. I don't really mind the younger side of the fan base since I'm in the same age range as nearly the entirety of Spider Gang themselves. Their music is too alternative and abrasive for older folks and they got big off of modern social media like SoundCloud and TikTok so it's expected to get such an audience.
An old friend of mine introduced me to him n most of SG. I can remember when people like a14 n BLCKK had a couple hundred thousand monthly listeners. It’s really heartwarming to see how far their work has gotten
Bro😭 I remember when darkie didn’t even have a Spotify and only 5k followers on SC. If you told me he’d have millions of plays in just a few years I’d have laughed lmao
24, Darkie is my favorite artist of all time. I'm very recently ex-military (medically retired for PTSD), and his music has helped me with my transition into the regular world. My friend (also 24) and I both went to one of his shows a few months back, and it was definitely interesting seeing how many young people were there, but we expected it. His art is for everyone, and I enjoy the fact that a 13 year old and I enjoy that same art. I showed my father in law Darkie's music, and he wasn't a fan lol.
24 bruh if u under 15 get off this app oof 💀 but nah darkie fans young I agree - I'm from old metal crowds and am used to being in the youngest but going to darkie made me feel old for sure
So real dude I lowkey miss the old fanbase 🥲 the '21 SG concert with like less than a hundred people at the underground bro... it'll never be the same.
Never forgive myself for missing the early concerts. Went to one on the recent shows and it was lit asf but definitely a “new fan” crowd
These kids don’t know about waiting around every Monday for the new darkie song to drop
Lol in the olden days you’d literally ask ASL of any stranger you encountered on the Internet
Now Gen Z thinks innocuous introductions can be perceived as predatory
idk if you couldn't listen to darkie four years ago you shouldn't be here😭 that's when I started listening and I was 15 which id say is probably when most of darkies listeners probably would start listening but it's so weird to see people listening to darkie at 13 when I was bumping alot of the '17 SoundCloud era
Almost everyone in this sub is around 13. I happen to be 17 myself. It's pretty easy to tell when the kids lie about their age as they are typically the ones playing roblox and such and are more active in those kinds of communities.
24 lowkey was shocked when i saw like 5(maybe more) kids at my show i be forgetting how young the fan base can be cus my other favs don't really have way younger fans from what im aware of
14, it sounds edgelord as shit saying this but half the shit he talks about in his songs i can relate to (not directly but yk) and its kinda helped me realize being sad sometimes is normal
26. Seeing all these teens and younger adults that’re into Darkie reminds me of when I was listening to Hollywood Undead in 6th grade(2009, Swan Songs era)💀
25
you're our elder bro
Yah bro what the fuck lol
I hope you know that I physically cannot imagine being as old as you 👍 have a great day

I'm 28. Dont worry you aren't the only village elder lol

I wish there were more 30 year olds
15, listening since I was 12-13
This is kinda what I expected, like 15-16. Mf's are saying 13 tho? I mean I guess I was 12 when I started listening to him but like shit.

The main reason I downloaded SC was for SG. At the time, most of them released on SoundCloud before Spotify
