I'm right in that age category and use both Reddit and HN. I would say your guess is right that most people my age use Reddit as their Slashdot. Both provide good insights but I feel the discussion is usually more useful in HN, although this depends on the subreddit. Generally I go on reddit when I'm looking for a quick distraction and HN is for when I'm looking to read things a bit more deeply.

I feel like HN is something you age into. I don't think it necessarily has an aging demographic. When I was in college, the information on Reddit related to programming and computers was relevant. As I've gained experience, the information on Reddit has gradually become less and less useful. To the point that I don't even bother following tech-related subreddits anymore.
