I agree. I'm a teenage too, I'm 16. But the thing is I know his art. He's not one of that "always screaming, making noise" kind of singers. And I believe he didn't just write those poems, those lyrics to be popular. He didn't care about what other people think or how much money he would make. Jim just wrote what he felt.

Very true. "Kids these days" seem5b4 to hate rock. Is that their form of rebellion against their parents?
I'm not at all annoyed by "those teenage Jim fans" now, just as I wasn't then. But I do get annoyed by people who get annoyed by fans of any age.
Is someone appointing themselves tastemaker and deciding who can qualify as a true fan? Isn't that the same as dismissing latecomers to a band because you were there first? That seems very "alternative," which is to say the person doesn't care so much about the music as the sense of entitlement that some folks think is part of the package. -

If I saw a young person with a Doors / JM shirt, I would actually applaud his / her taste. If you doubt their actual appreciation of JM / the Doors, why not ask them about their interest in their music? Maybe you will get a reply of "Hey, I love "Light My Fire!" rather than "No, I dont really like them at all, I just am making a fashion / cultural statement."
