I was 13 and in 8th grade... There's a long story about how I got into them in my LJ, but to make a long story short, ITIP and Push It got me into them and then I got Version 2.0, and I was never the same. One of best things I did in my early fanhood was run home from school at noon unexcused to watch a FANatic repeat. awww cutting school for a TV show

I was 12 and Stupid Girl had just went top five in the Uk in March 96 when I first liked Garbage. Got the album, video and all the singles that Christmas, started collecting like mad around early '98.

I had liked the Garbage singles on the radio, but didn't really get into the bad until I was 18. I got Version 2.0 as a present and I was hooked!

i think i was 15 or 16, during which time i was an unhappy teenager. my first relationship of 3 years had ended and everything in my life turned out wrong and i was like *Oh life is shit* when i heard Sleep on the radio in my dad's car. it hit me like a rock and i thought *well this is the right music for me* i've always known about Garbage before but it was then when i was really touched by their music... i mean the *old* Shirley and I were alot alike, in the matter of *riding high upon a deep depression* of course i'm alot happier with myself now but Garbage has since then remained one of my favorite bands.

my "garbage" story is sorta fragmented
i remember watching a show here in australia called 'hey hey, its saturday....where this guy named molly meldrum previewed the video for milk and called them the next big thing'
then i seen a video cip and song which just stuck in my head for aaaaaages all i remember about it was it was very 'green' and featured weird looking kids and a super market and the line 'this is the noise that keeps me awake, my head explodes and my body aches' but strangely i never got the name of the band and never re;ated it to the first experience.
the final spark for me was one night i was watching channel v (a music channel here in australia) when androgny cam on...i was blown away and went out and bought the single after praising the song alot infornt of mum ....who, unbeknowest to me had bought me BG ....
so for christmas i got BG ....then got a copy of version 2.0 and everything just sorta 'clicked' then i purchased s/t album
and thast my g experience i will appoligise now for putting you to sleep

Don't weird out on me. I was 45 when I heard Stupid Girl for the first time on the car radio. That was it. My daughter gave me their first CD for my 46th birthday. She was 16 then. I saw them twice in Philadelphia in 2002. The CD I keep in the car is Trash & Burn, the Loreley Festival from 98. By far my favorite bootleg. The Trip My Wire track is spectacular. I've got a DVD of the same concert, fairly crappy quality, but a joy to watch. I'm not bored with them yet. I'm waiting patiently. Favorite shirt is my SYM T-shirt with the lower case "g" in the circle inside the star on the back. I'll be one of the old coots at the show if you see 'em in Philly next year.

I have liked them when they first came out but I really can’t say I was the crazed fan I am now until around 1998 (28 years old).
I bought a game for the original Play Station called Gran Turismo in 1998. I was forced to listen to the songs on it for every race I was in and one of those songs happened to be on it was As Heaven Is Wide. From the first time I heard that song I was hooked. When it came on sometimes I would stop driving (come in last place) just to hear it all the way through.
Soon I was skipping races just to hear the song because at that time there was no way to skip songs that you didn’t want to hear.
So anyway I was 28.
