HI DERE POPTIMISTS AND LURKERS

Could you fill this in please? I've made it viewable-to-none in case some of you don't want to give yr age. If you can't think of 3 years in the second question, give 2 or 1, but do answer it if you can as it might provide VITAL SCIENCE EVIDENCE about when people's interest in pop hits/peaks/recurs etc.

EDIT: Sorry, can you give calendar years in question two?

1989: The year I really got into pop music and buying lots of stuff (well, and borrowing stuff from the library and copying it - was this the 80s version of illegal downloading?). Plus as well as my personal lifestage, it was also a time of great SAW stuff, the year dance music exploded, Madonna's best album, and the UK finally producing a great R&B album (Soul II Soul's first).

1999: Falling in love, finally earning enough to buy lots of music = happy memories. Plus it's the era of great Max Martin pop, a new astonishing R&B classic every week and lots of cheesy euro-trance type stuff in the clubs (which I love).

2005: Becoming single, belatedly discovering the possibilities that music blogs and communities and stuff opened up, and falling on love with a wider range of music than ever before - although probably less chart-focused than the other two
