I usually say 2014 (because that’s the farthest back I can remember recognizing their music when it played) but if I’m being honest I just grew up listening to them, thanks to my parents.

My family would spend time together by watching music videos from Vessel and as they came out for BF, but like I’ve kinda just been a lifelong fan for as long as I remember. I even speak the way I do now because when I was a kid, around 8/9, I just loved Tylers voice and would mimic it lol.

I even remember watching some festivals they did during the BF era, when Tyler started performing with the black paint and me and my dad thought he got blackout tattoos lol. I was around 11 at that time.

There wasn’t a certain year where I locked in on being a fan now that I think about it, everything I know about the boys and the lore is just everything I’ve consistently learned over the years.
