Are fans of young idols generally younger at present? What is the reason?

Yes, and no. The reason for this is the following：

We generally think that the main fans of "Junior Idol" are teenage girls, but if you have experienced rice circles yourself, you will find that it is much more than that.

Idol is a popular cultural product, and each type has a specific target group. Not many people in China can be called "idols". Most of the "love beans" we talk about are actors, not idols, such as Li Xian, Zhu Yilong, Allen, Leo, Yang Mi and Liu Yifei, which have nothing to do with the profession of "idols".

Similarly, for China's SNH48 and TF families, their main Kryptonian players are generally adults. The middle-aged otaku who makes crazy phone calls around you may have graduated from a prestigious school, changed his clothes and entered the financial circle.

I have been in contact with rice circles and know that the oldest fanatic fan was born in 1950, and the youngest fan was born in 2007. But there is no difference in their love for idols.

The occupational composition of rice circle people is also different, but most adults are "idolized".

Their occupations may be civil servants, doctors, financial dogs, researchers and designers. Some people turn on their mobile phones after work just to see their love beans on a new stage. Some people save a long vacation to go to a concert, and some people encounter too many disappointments in reality, so they regard idolization as a utopia.

Female college students are really an important group of idolization, because they have money, leisure and no pressure. But by no means all.
