I will chime in, when I first start going to HHN in 2004 I was 23. Back then it was a different beast as in it relied on original content over mainstream, however Bill & Ted was different. It was a mainstream mash-up which I totally got, back then. I was their target audience for the show. Fast forward to the last few B&T shows. I was totally lost as I had no idea what the references were and to whom lol. I then realized that I was out of touch with the show and I was definitely not the target audience they think about when writing it. How does that correlate to the event? The last few years I have realized Rev's point. OVERALL the event is not about me anymore. It is about the most impactful sector of the population, late teens/early adults. I never heard of a stranger things until HHN but the fanbase, which is between 18-24 year olds, were strong enough to make the show into the powerhouse it has become. Same with that Billy chick. Never heard of her or her music. However, if it takes people like Billy and shows like stranger things to bring in the cash and make the event bigger and better than I am all for it! I mean we old crows still get sweet houses out of the deal! I mean we have gotten ghostbusters, the shining, Killer Klowns and sorta kinda beetlejuice! So, in conclusion, I am ok with not being the target audience of HHN but I personally feel the event still is for me, at 39 as I love all things horror and the event overall.
