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?

First of all OP, where did you get the 95% statistic? Beyond that, you sound like this issue is all new to you. It's been a fact for quite a while, but I don't believe the market or the suppliers will dry up. The high end will survive somehow.
We are here, and, on other platforms mentioned above. Vintage gear blended with digital says it all. Your generalization also only applies to US demographics. 
I’m 45.  Just a baby. Some of the members on here remind me of less cool versions of my dad. Not exactly appealing discourse for younger minds. Also, you need cash and space for this hobby. It generally takes a few years to get both. 
The disease of audiophilia is an expensive one. Young folks don't have the coin to play this game.
