Just having a little fun today, maybe even self-deprecation.
I sometimes hear that there is a certain perception of the Springsteen fanbase: that Springsteen fans represent a specific demographic (e.g. white boomers), that being a Springsteen fan is akin to having a religion (some would say "cult") with Bruce himself acting as the preacher. From the outside, it can seem a little corny but it's certainly an outpouring of passion that is unique. I do think Bruce has a relationship with fans that is different from most other music artists; that the artist touches an emotional chord that can't be explained purely through "musical talent".
What are some of the stereotypes that you notice about the fanbase? Do you feel like you embody them? I will say that I'm not a white boomer.
There have been articles written about how he was sportswriters favorite artist, but I think he passed that mantel onto Jason Isbell the last 5 years or so lol....maybe Isbell gets to pass it on to Zach Bryan.
