I definitely identified with the kids at first. :-D
An advantage in my case of not seeing it when young, but of course Buffy didn't exist when I was young. Even when it first aired, I would have been nuts over Giles. And one of the reasons I didn't watch it when it first aired was that it seemed to be all about tiny teen girls.
I identify with Willow, too. And she is hot. But I identify more with Buffy - in some ways Willow is too much like me, in things I don't like about myself, like being shy. Buffy has all that honesty and concern for doing what's right. I don't know if I find Buffy sexy - sometimes yes, sometimes no - mostly yes. Angel only sometimes. Spike always. But then, he never seemed to me like a villain. Just a person whose agenda opposed Buffy's.

Yes, it does all go together. Most of the time.
