I used to think the critics were wrong too
Half of your post is good.

The other half is just idiotic.

BJ's EUROPEAN fanbase IS not built on HOUSEWIFES.If you can't name a BJ fan around your age...than you live under a rock.That's the truth. Most of the BJ fans I know are in their 20s or 30s and strange is I personally know more MALE BJ fans then female.Probably because I'm very skeptical about female BJ fans("Jon Bon Jovi is sooo gorgeous")

However, it made me feel pretty sad...you poor guy...surrounded only by housewifes.

If you dislike Bounce so much why do you have it in your avatar? You ignored my first post.

There are a lot of guys who readily admit that Jon is gorgeous. How many female fans you know are into it because of how Jon looks (should be: looked)?

more than you would believe....but I don't mean you can't admit Jon looks good. But those girls like BJ only because of his look and there are plenty of them...

You shouldn't care what other people think, you like music because it means something to YOU, not anyone else. I'm proud to be a Jovi fan and I tell everyone that and you should too. Most of the people say that is cool or they like them too, others well who cares about their opinions. It is also not a fact the most Bon Jovi fans are "housewives" as you call them. I know lots of people my age and even younger that are fans, not just regular fans but even die-hard fans. Here in college, I have made quite a few "Jovi Friends" and plan to go to the next Jovi concert together, and this includes guys. I also know a few 10 yr olds that like Bon Jovi and have their other albums because they liked Bounce or Crush so much.
If you look at the majority of the people on this board, you will see most of the people here are in their teens or early 20s.

What does it matter what age group likes a certain band? Like and enjoy the music and be a fan because of what the music is and not because of who likes it or thinks the band is cool or relevent.

If you don't like Bon Jovi anymore, great. Good for you. I'm happy for you. You're wise beyond your years. Are these the things you want us to say?? We post on a Bon Jovi fan board...maybe we might be fans?? I don't know, just making an assumption there. You posted this thread knowing we would defend the band, so why bother?? Don't like them anymore, don't listen to them. But go tell it to someone who gives a sh*t.

Sorry, I'm a little cranky today.

Why are you ignoring my question? Is it because also you realise how silly it is to bash the latest albums and have an avatar with one of them in it?
