Why Audience Demographics Matter

Understanding who follows an account reveals the type of influence they hold. Accounts followed primarily by users with few followers indicate broad, mainstream appeal. Those with many high-follower followers have greater potential for content amplification through secondary sharing.

Account age distribution also tells a story: a follower base with many new accounts might indicate recent viral growth, while established followers suggest long-term, stable influence. Geographic data helps understand the cultural context and timezone spread of the audience.

Say what you want about the 80's, there will never be another era quite like it. Rock &amp; Metal ruled the charts, arenas, magazines, television, the world. We we're a part of that moment in music history. Maybe we'll be a part of the next big rock movement. @Stryper is alive🙏 h

Everytime I post something about a “secular” band I get grief for it from the Christian base. I grew up on VH, Priest, Maiden, Scorps. That’s what makes me who I am. I’m devoted to God yet He built me to have an open mind and heart with a love for metal. That will never change🙏
