In my experience, people that enjoy fine quality sound come in all ages, races, genders, etc. I think "audiophiles" tend to be a little more male gender biased, but I think that's mostly because women aren't usually as interested in "gadgets" as men are. I think women enjoy high-quality sound as much as men, and I think they are capable of telling the difference between "good sound" and "bad sound."
I think the only real difference that age makes is younger people usually don't have the earning capacity, so they have less ability to buy high-end gear. When men get into their earning years, they are able to get the really good stuff, mostly just 'cause they can afford it. But I don't think younger audiophiles are less quality-conscious, they just don't have the disposable income.
