I think Fandom Old (tm) has to be considered along Fandom Older. For those of us that are second or third generation geek/nerd (or more, but I've yet to run into someone whose great grand was wearing mourning bands for Sherlock Holmes after ACD tossed him...) we've gone from younger than Peter Parker to, um, Bruce Banner is slightly older? So our time sense is deeper than the 19 year olds.
Not sure if any fen have embraced Fandom Older than Dirt, which was how the Grand Old Men were styling themselves when I was still green. (Occasionally their queens would descend from the heavens but otherwise the Celestial Women of Gaming didn't inhabit the common plane.)
