Where are the young audiophiles?


I find it alarming that 95% of all audiophiles are seniors.According to a consultant at my local HI-FI store,young people don't seem interested in high-end equipment.They listen to music on their phone.Sooner or later, all the great neighborhood HI-FI stores will not be able to remain open. Kind of sad,don't you think?

There are many examples of things that most under 30, even 40, that hold little or no interest in. Look at Stamp collecting - killed by email and text. Model Trains used to be the "World's greatest Hobby". Coin collecting will be gone soon due to Venmo, Bitcoin etc., Plastic models, I bet everyone over 60 here built at least one plastic model. I agree though that the sky is not falling, but it will change. And  many people do not like change, but it happens whether they want it to or not. Sadly, too many people think any change is bad.
