Us Boomers had a choice of in-home entertainment of three TV channels or listening to music, and later an Atari and a wired remote VHS that required you to drive to the store to use. And even though I'm retired now, I sit and listen far less because I have so many other choices. So it's not a surprise that in the past 20 years I haven't run into anyone under 50 who cares about equipment, much less sitting and listening. But I have run into many who have some form of home theater system.
The equipment shows I've been to look like retirement seminars.
