You don't really need a target demographic, it's a fairly hostile way of putting it anyways.

Like the target demographic for the bus, the post office, toothpaste or a library. Probably about the same.

All you need to see is the tagline to answer that! Its EVERYTHING by EVERYONE! If whether you're an artist or an art enjoyer its a place for all.

They say "By Everyone"

We never once said "For Everyone"

Back in the early 00s I think it was predominantly preteens playing web games and edgy teenagers on the forums. Since Newgrounds' traffic has gone down since then we still see young teens joining, but the overall vibe reflects that the same kids that joined in the 00s have grown up and are now in their 20s and 30s.

I just turned 30 and I agree way too much with this statement.

In all seriousness, I guess it sort of depends on what "demographic" your own art tends to appeal to. I seem to get a lot of early twenty-somethings looking at my particular brand of humor, maybe the occasional older teenager, for instance. I actually joined this site myself quite late, in my mid-20's, but I often get the impression from what P-Bot and the Front Page tends to feature that I would have liked this site better as a consumer of content (rather than just as a creator of my own submissions) if I were still a younger teen, horny enough to even watch bad animations simply because it features a cute cartoon girl being cute while not QUITE crossing into "fetish" or "weird" territory. At my current age, though, I find that stuff kind of dumb and gravitate more towards stuff that reminds me of the gross Nickelodeon and MTV cartoons I used to watch as a wee lad.

I guess if I had to pin down a demographic, though, not just an age one, Newgrounds seems overwhelmingly dominated by artists sharing tips with and collaborating with each other--which seems fine, especially when you are first learning, but eventually you have to be able to make your stuff appealing to the average layperson non-artist, which inevitably means you have to post somewhere much more "mainstream" than Newgrounds like YouTube, BlueSky or Instagram to reach a wider audience. I like that Newgrounds seems to be a cozy little place to return to every once in a while to make less "marketable" art for fun or ideally get more nuanced compliments and critiques from fellow artists that most comment sections don't enable--like, imagine trying to get nuanced, essay-length feedback on what you could improve upon under a YouTube video, or anything between the extremes of your followers/echo chamber putting you on a pedestal and haters trying to "cancel" you because they somehow figured out your voter history...

If we're being honest: teens that think the world owes them, college students who are interested in a creative field, and adults who don't care.

I've been here since 1998 or 1999 when ever the website first came around I feel like I was here. I was probably around 12 or 13. This website maybe at one time was considered crazy but it's tame compared to many other websites out there. Now that's not a bad thing. I still think Newgrounds is entertaining. Actually I think there's many websites for good reason that shouldn't be legally allowed on the web such as death video websites. I don't know why those are allowed. I don't know why they think people need to see people being blown or cut apart. I think it's really twisted that stuff like that is online. Not going to link or mention which websites show this grotesque stuff. It's not like it's hard to find sadly. If I or anyone is messed up in the head I'd say it's not Newgrounds fault. There's way worse things.

the target demographic is anybody who likes making, sharing, and playing animations, art, and web games, and knows how to be safe online

It's me bro, 101 year olds

the target demographic is the "everyone" in "everything by everyone"

fetus

Around Gen Z (1997 to 2011)

Rated E for Everyone

pretty sure it depends on the rating of the video, game, art, and audio

Idk but I guess I would say like teenagers I guess though like somebody just said earlier, it’s for everyone since it’s “everything by everyone.”

me in 2000-and-something who is the coolest kid in 1st grade, and probably still me who likes to shitpost schizo stuff on occasion. Dunno, though Cosby's adventure is just as good. Though I don't hang around as much as I used to.

Everything by everyone. . . Though those adult tagged art pieces are sometimes batshit insane, but there is an unfiltered beauty to the platform for the vibe it hasn't compromised across the years. Common sense helps tell right from wrong, right??

Nowadays my guess is people from like 15-55. I joined when I was 13 almost 14 so I was young in that regard. The demographic has definitely shifted to a more older demographic in comparison to it's golden age, but there's still weird gen z people like myself who prefer this site over TikTok and Instagram. In fact, this website is made up of people who don't like how modern social media caters to creative types (hence the forums and lack of algorithms) so really it's just people like that rather than a specific age.
