I think it has more to do with the continual degradation and appropriation of nerd culture than age groups. Being a nerd doesn't mean as much as it used to when the types of bullies that tormented nerds are now collecting toys and playing video games. The average age of gamers is in the mid 30s but you wouldn't think that if you'd lurk a video game site for any length of time or play on xbox live. Just mind numbing levels of homophobia and sexism. Lurking comic book or toy collecting sites will yield similar results.

The Museum is a relative oasis in all the crap that has become of nerd culture.

You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...
