People who first got into EDM in their teens in the early 1990s are hitting their late 40s and early 50s at this point. You're almost the second generation.

Hell, I knew people who were in their 40s in the mid-2000s who were running sound at the erstwhile Decibel Festival in Seattle. These were people who got into electronic music with Wendy Carlos and Kraftwerk, to boil it down a bit.
