Am I the youngest person in the stepmania / DDR community?

Yes, this is a real question. As of now I am 13 and on youtube, I never see people that are younger than 18 playing DDR. It’s mostly adults who play the game nowadays. I have been playing ddr since I was 8 years old but I didn’t really get into it until this mid 2025. If you know anyone who is around my age and plays this game it would be cool if we could be in contact. If not, i guess i’m just a newgen trying to fit the “y2k” vibes or something. (My uncle actually said this, apparently young people can’t play old games? To be fair, he has AAA’d max300 back in his days so no disrespect to him LOL)

There aren't many videos of people under 15 playing DDR or similar games, but I suspect that some OG veteran players (around 30–35+ years old) who are already parents have introduced their kids to these kinds of games. At least that's the case in my country; on TikTok, I see live streams of 8–10-year-olds playing ITG and Pump It Up frequently.
