Maybe, but that argument seems a tad too simplistic to me, of course the fanbase is getting older and they have been a cult band for most of their existence; yet they sell out gigs pretty quick and the crowds don't seem that old for a band at this stage in its lifespan. Nicky has often talked about there being a lot of new blood in the audience. I also think their luddism when it comes to the internet really has not done them any favours, they should have embraced it from the beginning but then they've always had an uneasy relationship with the fan community (to put it lightly).

I suppose what i wanted to know, as someone who doesn't use the big social medias, is - have the topics and theorising and appreciation and random thoughts and all the rest of it transplanted to social media or is this really all there is? Is this is as good as it gets?

Disk beginning to rotate, faster, becoming a sphere of paler gray. Expanding -
And flowed, flowered for him, fluid neon origami trick, the unfolding of his distanceless home, his country, transparent 3D chessboard extending to infinity.
Inner eye opening to the stepped scarlet pyramid of the Eastern Seaboard Fission Authority burning beyond the green cubes of Mitsubishi Bank of America,
and high and very far away he saw the spiral arms of military systems, forever beyond his reach.
And somewhere he was laughing, in a white-painted loft, distant fingers caressing the deck, tears of release streaking his face.
