    This site is clearly representative of a set subculture and little else. It's basically the Internet savvy Playstation 3 owning 20'somethings site. Look at the big things here, and in the other main lists. Breaking Bad and Game Of Thrones dominate here, The Last Of Us, Skyrim, and Mass Effect 2 dominate in video games. Nothing else matters, with no musical artist getting over 1000 points to date and only 2 books getting over 500 points. Film is less notable but still telling with Batman, Star Wars, and Lord Of The Rings taking top three spots but none having more than 1500 points, and the next 2 films Fight Club and Pulp Fiction only just breaking 1000 points.

    What this tells me is that most of the members here watch Netflix rather than mainstream/broadcast TV, they play mainly Playstation 3 games (with some PC), and are under 25 as they have little connection to a film or music trend which means they likely didn't live through the 70s or 80s, however most members here are over 20 as there's very little "late 90s kid" stuff voted up (Nickelodeon cartoons like Invader Zim for example), and very few FPSs or MMOs voted up. There's no League Of Legends, Call Of Duty, DOTA, Minecraft, or Grand Theft Auto in any top 10 (and often they miss the top 25).

    I wonder how close I am...

      Editing … I'm happy to report that I am a special snowflake that does not meet this description other than age range.

      Editing … What will be interesting is if the active members are representative of the voting members, as a majority vote in 3-4 lists then rarely return. I know I don't fit that description too much, (though, I don't deviate too much admittedly).

      Editing … I don't own a PS3 nor do I have Netflix (simply isn't available here), and regardless of not living through the 70s or 80s I do think I am decently connected to the musical subculture. You have to realize, though, that this website formed from Unikgamer, which is solely dedicated to gamers. There's obviously going to have a strong subculture present here. I do enjoy when I see other subcultures being discussed, even if I'm not part of them, like comics, MLP/cartoons, TV Shows, horror movies, my discussions with Rob about WWE, heck, even Double's recent post about a mattress. It really shows the potential of this website has a house for every single subculture and fandom out there. But it simply isn't there yet.

      Editing … I do try to advertise Favslist in various places (so far Manga reddit, a couple anime forums I was part of, Lastfm and to a couple wrestling fans) but I really don't know if I was very successful, the only person I know that joined came from Last.fm and he left after a week because he was tired of making his own pages.

      Editing … I'm with crash, I really like seeing passionate people talk about the things they are passionate about, the actual topic is irrelevant in most cases. I see this place as Facebook with a joint communal activity and people that post about things I actually care about instead of vapid shite. Also, it was a pillow but it's good to know more people read my ramblings :P

      Editing … Yeah I did not explicitly mention what it was, there is a picture on the linked page but I agree that a 'DHR6000' sounds like it should be a gun or model of car and not a pillow.

      Editing … Well I'm 22, have netflix, have a PS3 but game on the PC sometimes as well and I ranked Mass Effect, Skyrim, The Last of Us, Game of Thrones and The Dark Knight pretty highly so yeah you were pretty close. Then again I don't like Breaking Bad, I'm not into Star Wars, most of my favourite songs are older than I am and I love books and don't get why more people haven't listed their favourites. Guess I'm not quite the epitome of my generation.
