I'm pretty sure his demographic was not just teens when he came out. The Beatles were pretty much the Jonas Brothers when they first came out.

A good portion of them were. In fact his popularity among young white youths actually helped push Elvis due to fears youths were idolizing a black singer .

Sorry, what? Elvis was the 50s. Hendrix was the 70s.

That still doesn't explain how Jimi could have led to Elvis. I took a course in the history of Rock 'n Roll, and I distinctly remember Elvis coming before Jimi.

Elvis was born seven years before Jimi. Elvis' first recording was in 1954 when Jimi was 12. I'm gonna go with Elvis was first.
Elvis started out then did his military service and had his movie career and then moved back to music being his primary thing. There was some overlap when both were performing during Jimi's distressingly short run.

There was some overlap when both were performing during Jimi's distressingly short run. I never said Jimmy came first . I said he pushed Elvis or at least the 66 to 69 peak he had as it was a backlash against Hendrix popularity .

I really don't know how you think they were in competition. Their musical styles were not the same...not even close.
Elvis wasn't exactly the Woodstock type.
