I'm 20 and I've been a fan of Duran Duran for less than 10 months. (I'm always lurking this board, but only got around to registering yesterday)
I discovered them because I switched to a new cable company that offers VH1, and there was this ad with "New Moon On Monday" on the background which repeated all the time. They are frequently mentioned on those list type of programs too. Then I went to a retro themed party where they played Rio, Hungry Like The Wolf and Save a Prayer on a roll, and it was teh first time I really payed attention. That did it. Next morning I was downloading “Greatest” and within a month I had the complete discography (I’m still working on actually purchasing all the records, already got six of them… )
Now I kick myself for everything I missed because I did'nt discover them sooner. I'm on that phase where you try to catch up, compulsively watching every videos, every material I can get my hands on.

I love seeing all of the new and young fans. Spread the word! Oh, and I am also not an OLD fan. I am an original fan or a long time fan. Mainly I just call myself a lifelong fan, since I always have been and always will be.

I'm not a young fan by any means, but I was young when I became a fan--back in 1982 exactly, I was NINE!!!! I had a cousin in to them and she hooked me, then Mtv hit and whoa boy... then my walls didn't know what hit them. I even cried when Simon's boat capsized. 24 hours from now, I am getting my dream...
