There's simply no point in getting all worked up over this stuff as it relates to others. It's hard to say how things will develop for the younger generations as on the whole they are inundated with the digital onslaught that began with the personal computer. When "we" were that age what did we have to occupy ourselves? That's how we got into music, that's what we had. No video games, no streaming, no widescreen tv....that's a lot of distraction. They are also not really into quality music, as my bass-playing son mentioned to me. He said the interest in playing a real musical instrument is waning fast to be replaced by electronic stuff. It's just easier. Also, note the difference in the music of decades past as compared to now. Not to say there isn't good music out there, but finding it is kind of like finding good audio. The culture and the inventiveness is just so different now. One never knows, though. I bought a grand piano when I was 30 that none of my four sons touched. Suddenly my 45 year old son began teaching himself on a Yamaha keyboard, and is sending back to his mom to get the piano shipped to him on the Big Island. His "stereo", however is still just a wireless speaker that mainly plays classical. For me, I'm just going to enjoy my fancy new system and let the chips fall.
