Yes and that just proves my point.

U2 would get the same treatment if they released 8 albums in 17 years while in thier 40s and 50s. But if they didn't, because their smart. They know how to build public appetite for new music and tours. Hell, I'm a Bon Jovi fan first and foremost, but I would get more excited about a new U2 album rather than another rushed Jovi record.

I dunno. I've been to three U2 shows in the last two years. Who was I surrounded by? Young, energetic people jumping around having a blast. A lot of my friends love U2. The Joshua Tree is still relevant. Achtung Baby is still relevant (although it does have dated songs like Mysterious Ways on it).

When I went to Bon Jovi shows, it's all people older than 40 who can't last the whole show standing up.

Both shows were excellent, both were meaningful. But one had a significantly younger audience.

Also, I'm 24, and the vast majority of my peer group likes U2. I traveled with 10 people from Calgary to Vancouver all my age and younger to see the recent Joshua Tree show.

If that's not proof, I don't know what is?

What is relevant here is that you are obviously biased, your a bigger fan of U2 than Bon Jovi, which is nothing wrong at all, I am a fan to. But to say the things you say here is just crazy, people over 40 who can't last at concert standing up? Really?, but I guess that is what a 24 year old would say, lets see how you like it when your 44 and a 24 year old tells you the same thing, BTW, both Jon and Bono are good friends, there is a lot of respect for each other, Jon just recently attended the U2 concert in Chicago a couple of weeks ago.

Not true. I'm a way bigger fan of Bon Jovi than U2.

However, I don't have Bon Jovi tinted goggles on. U2 is way more relevant, and younger people like them way more. I get made fun of for liking Bon Jovi. It's socially acceptable however to be a fan of U2.

Are you sure you're just not getting made fun of, period?

The REAL Jon has gone for a really long walk and left all the drama here :3

Panda is right though. The shit I get to my head for being a Bon Jovi fan is beyond pleasant. U2 are more relevant nowadays, but Bono is a dick.

Really? Wow! This is ground breaking information!! It's only been like this for the past 30 years.... Or course when you put an 80's Hair Band against a Alternate Rock band, the 80's Hair Band will lose ever time (when it comes to coolness)...

However, you getting shit for being a fan isn't Panda's point... He's saying that U2 is more relevant with the younger generation and I'm saying he's got nothing to back this up with the exception of him getting bullied for being a fan.

My Opinion: I actually don't think either band is relevant right now with kids between the ages of 15 to 21 however if one band actually has an edge, it's Bon Jovi... I think Jon is more recognizable than Bono and I also think Bon Jovi's songs are more recognizable as well... For example, if you polled 100 kids between the ages of 15 to 21, I think Bon Jovi would win the 2 above categories hands down.
