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?

When I was a kid I had my parents old Monkey Wards stereo system from the 70's. I liked how it sounded but at that time I couldn't afford a walkman (not sure they were out then) so listening to music was done at home. In the mid 80's I got a walkman and I rarely listened to my stereo in my room anymore.

Its easy to look down your noise at the younger generation but music is different now. You would be this way too if, in High School/College you had 100 mullion songs you could listen to anywhere on earth.
I am 67, been doing this since I was 15.  I still consider myself young.  
The young people are the smart ones. They just listen to music as they please. No comparisons, no pressure, no grandstanding, no ridicule, no obsessing.....just listening when and how they please. Fact is it’s nothing hard to get good sound for not much these days. The times they are a changing.  Omg what the heck am I doing?????  I must be nuts.
