I don't think anyone is debating if there ARE younger fans, more-so that they aren't the prevalent part of the fanbase. The ones that are into them because of their parents....aren't really turning the wheel in hopes of new material, tours and releases. It's about the hits and the nostalgia.
That's based purely on how the last few releases have done and lack of much hooplah from that side of the fanbase. They're still horribly uncool other than the monster hits everyone knows.
