that's not a fair statement. You dont have to live in during their time to actually worship their music.
That being said the biggest Sabbath fan i ever met was my dads late friend who had every Ozzy era Sabbath album on vinyl, tape, cd and even a few 8-tracks. He was in his 50's and had posters in his garage, books, old ticket stubs etc. He played the bass and worshiped Geezer and even had one of his bass guitars signed by him if i remember correctly. The man was also a party animal for his age. Too bad his son was a giant herbivore cunt like hbb and probably sold off all that stuff now and listens to pop on youtube or whatnot. What a damn shame that a proper man like that bred out such a pansy deadbeat.
