For some reason one example that always stuck with me of this was people saying Jon Bon Jovi was “old” when he had his 2001 “It’s My Life” comeback. Bon Jovi would have been 38 at the time. Which is three years older than Ric Ocasek on the first Cars album, and the same age Doug Pinnick was on the first King’s X album in 1988.

Liz Phair was also 36 in 2003, and got blasted that year for putting out an album of Avril Lavigne derived MTV teen pop.
