When I was young, living in Hamburg NJ, a small rural community, I was the only audiophile that I knew personally.
When I lived in NYC (for 45 years), I knew of two other audiophiles.
Today, in my neck of the woods here in Newburgh NY in the Hudson Valley, I know of two other audiophiles.
Anecdotal evidence for what it is worth.
My daughter, aged 38, a professional musician, is finally interested in audio and vinyl, but because it’s hip. She’s consulting me on what to buy, and all the things she picks are because “the rad DJs use it!” 🙄
